  1. A store sells notebooks for $3.50 each and pens for $1.25 each. If Maria buys 4 notebooks and 6 pens, how much does she spend in total?

    Answer: $18.50

    4 × $3.50 = $14.00, plus 6 × $1.25 = $7.50, totaling $21.50 — wait, that's $21.50, which is answer B; 4×3.5=14, 6×1.25=7.5, 14+7.5=21.50.

  2. A factory produces 840 widgets per day working 7 hours. If they need to produce 3,000 widgets, how many full days are required?

    Answer: 4 days

    3,000 ÷ 840 ≈ 3.57, so 4 full days are needed.

  3. Two pipes fill a tank. Pipe A fills it in 6 hours, Pipe B in 4 hours. How long does it take both pipes together to fill the tank?

    Answer: 2.4 hours

    Combined rate = 1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12 per hour, so time = 12/5 = 2.4 hours.

  4. A salesperson earns a base salary of $2,400 per month plus 5% commission on sales. If she made $18,000 in sales this month, what are her total earnings?

    Answer: $3,300

    Commission = 5% × $18,000 = $900; total = $2,400 + $900 = $3,300.

  5. A car travels 180 miles in 3 hours, then 150 miles in 2 hours. What is the average speed for the entire trip?

    Answer: 66 mph

    Total distance = 330 miles, total time = 5 hours; 330 ÷ 5 = 66 mph.

  6. A box contains 5 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles. If one marble is drawn at random, what is the probability it is NOT red?

    Answer: 1/2

    Non-red marbles = 3 + 2 = 5 out of 10 total; probability = 5/10 = 1/2.

  7. If 8 workers can complete a project in 15 days, how many days will it take 12 workers to complete the same project?

    Answer: 10 days

    Total work = 8 × 15 = 120 worker-days; 120 ÷ 12 = 10 days.
