  1. A store sells notebooks for $3.50 each. A customer buys 8 notebooks and pays with a $50 bill. How much change do they receive?

    Answer: $22.00

    Cost = 8 x $3.50 = $28.00. Change = $50.00 - $28.00 = $22.00.

  2. A train travels 360 miles in 4.5 hours. What is its average speed in miles per hour?

    Answer: 80 mph

    Speed = Distance / Time = 360 / 4.5 = 80 mph.

  3. A recipe calls for 2.5 cups of flour for 12 cookies. How many cups are needed for 36 cookies?

    Answer: 7.5 cups

    36 cookies is 3 times 12, so 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 cups.

  4. A project team has 5 members. Each member works 6 hours per day for 10 days. What is the total number of person-hours worked?

    Answer: 300

    Total = 5 x 6 x 10 = 300 person-hours.

  5. A car was worth $24,000 when new and depreciated by 15% in the first year. What is its value after one year?

    Answer: $20,400

    Depreciation = 15% of $24,000 = $3,600. New value = $24,000 - $3,600 = $20,400.

  6. Two workers together paint a fence in 6 hours. Worker A alone takes 10 hours. How long would Worker B take alone?

    Answer: 15 hours

    Combined rate = 1/6. A's rate = 1/10. B's rate = 1/6 - 1/10 = 2/30 = 1/15. B takes 15 hours.
