  1. A jacket originally priced at $120 is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price?

    Answer: $90

    Discount = 25% × $120 = $30; sale price = $120 − $30 = $90.

  2. A bank account earns 4% simple interest per year. How much interest is earned on $2,000 after 3 years?

    Answer: $240

    I = P × r × t = 2000 × 0.04 × 3 = $240.

  3. A store marks up items by 30% over cost. If an item costs the store $50, what is the selling price?

    Answer: $65

    Markup = 30% × $50 = $15; selling price = $50 + $15 = $65.

  4. Given f(x) = 3x − 7, what is f(5)?

    Answer: 8

    f(5) = 3(5) − 7 = 15 − 7 = 8.

  5. Sales tax is 7.5%. What is the total cost of an item priced at $40?

    Answer: $43.00

    Tax = 7.5% × $40 = $3.00; total = $40 + $3 = $43.00.

  6. A town's population of 10,000 grows at 5% per year. What is the population after 2 years?

    Answer: 11,025

    Population = 10,000 × (1.05)² = 10,000 × 1.1025 = 11,025.

  7. A linear function has slope −2 and y-intercept 4. What is the value of the function at x = 3?

    Answer: −2

    f(x) = −2x + 4; f(3) = −6 + 4 = −2.
