121 + 2.01 – 14.43
Explanation
To solve the expression 47.121+2.01−14.43, follow these steps:
Add 47.121 and 2.01:
47.121+2.01 = 49.131
Subtract 14.43 from 49.13:
49.131−14.43 = 34.701
So, the correct answer is:
34.701

A bottle of medication contains 16 ml, which is 20% less than a syringe containing the same medication. How much medication does the syringe contain?
Explanation
To determine how much medication the syringe contains, given that 16 ml is 20% less than the amount in the syringe, we can set up the following equation:
Let x be the amount of medication in the syringe. We know that 16 ml is 20% less than x:
16 = x − 0.2x
This simplifies to:
16=0.8x
Solving for x:
x =
Therefore, the syringe contains:
20.0 ml.
32 = 24%X, what does X equal?
Explanation
To find X in the equation 32=24%×X, we can set up the equation as follows:
32=0.24X
Solving for X:
X =
Now, let's calculate this:
X = 32 ÷ 0.24 =133.333
Therefore, X is approximately: 133.3
Which value is the same as 862%?
Explanation
Convert each given option to a percentage and then compare:
86.2%: This is already in percentage form: 86.2%.
​: Convert to percentage by multiplying by 100:
×100=86.2%
8.62: Convert to percentage by multiplying by 100:
8.62×100=862%
86.2: Convert to percentage by multiplying by 100:
86.2×100=8620%
So, the correct option that is the same as 862% is: 8.62
The nurse cares for clients in the outpatient clinic. The nurse notes 1/2 of the patients are elderly men and 1/3 of the patients are young women. What percent of the patients are NOT elderly men or young women?
Explanation
To determine the percentage of patients who are not elderly men or young women, we first need to find the combined percentage of patients who are elderly men and young women.
- Elderly men: 12 = 50%
- Young women: 13 ≈ 33.3%
To find the total percentage of patients who are either elderly men or young women, we add these two percentages together:
50%+33.3% = 83.3%
The percentage of patients who are not elderly men or young women is:
100%−83.3%=16.7
Therefore, the correct answer is:16.7%
679 – .0035 =
Explanation
To solve the expression, Subtract 0.0035 from 1.679:
1.679 − 0.0035=1.6755
So, the correct answer is: 1.6755
The nurse administers a medication to a patient at 10 AM and 4 PM. The morning dose is 3/8 of an ounce and the afternoon dose is 3/7 of an ounce. The nurse has a one-ounce vial of medication. Is that enough medication? If not, how much more medication does the nurse need?
Explanation
To determine if the nurse has enough medication, we need to calculate the total amount of medication used and compare it to the one-ounce vial.
- Morning Dose:
​ ounce
- Afternoon Dose:
ounce
First, find a common denominator to add these fractions. The least common multiple of 8 and 7 is 56.
Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 56:

So, the total amount of medication used is ​ ounce.
The vial contains 1 ounce. The amount of medication remaining in the vial is:
1− =
−
=
​
Since ounce is needed more to make up for the used amount, the nurse needs:
​ of an ounce more.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
No, the nurse needs ​ of an ounce more.
