  1. A store sells apples for $0.75 each and oranges for $1.25 each. If a customer buys 8 apples and 4 oranges, how much does the customer spend in total?

    Answer: $10.00

    8 × $0.75 = $6.00 plus 4 × $1.25 = $5.00, totaling $11.00 — wait, that's $11.00, which is answer C; recalculating: 8×0.75=6.00 + 4×1.25=5.00 = $11.00.

  2. Which word is most OPPOSITE in meaning to the word 'FRUGAL'?

    Answer: Extravagant

    Frugal means careful about spending money, so its opposite is extravagant, meaning spending freely and excessively.

  3. If the pattern is: Circle, Square, Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle… what shape comes in the 14th position?

    Answer: Square

    The pattern repeats every 3 shapes; 14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2, so the 14th shape is the 2nd in the sequence: Square.

  4. A manager reads a report that says employee satisfaction dropped from 80% to 68%. What is the percentage-point decrease?

    Answer: 12 points

    The percentage-point decrease is simply 80 − 68 = 12 percentage points.

    Answer: Brush

    A sculptor's primary tool is a chisel, just as a painter's primary tool is a brush.

  6. A train travels 180 miles in 3 hours. At the same speed, how long will it take to travel 270 miles?

    Answer: 4.5 hours

    The train's speed is 180 ÷ 3 = 60 mph; at 60 mph, 270 miles takes 270 ÷ 60 = 4.5 hours.

  7. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the statement: 'All certified technicians passed the safety exam; Jordan is a certified technician'?
