$4.00
$6.00
$5.00
$7.00
Correct Answer : B
When dealing with percent problems, the following is utilized to find the unknown variable.
- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
From the problem above, we are looking for the amount of gratuity the couple can leave.
Let t be the amount of gratuity. Translating into an equation, we have
The gratuity is 15% of the total bill, which becomes

Here, of means multiply and we also convert percent into decimal before multiplying.

So, the value of t=5.76
Thus, a couple will leave a gratuity of $5.76, which is about $6.00.

we need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.
Let the number be x.
Twice a number=2x
Five less than twice a number=2x-5
So the mathematical express from the word problem is 2x-5
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.
34÷96=
3/8=3/8
0.372=372/1000
37%=37/100
Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 48, 8, 1000, and 100, which is 6000. We multiply each fraction by 6000 as follows:
17/48*6000=2125
3/8*6000=2250
372/1000*6000=2232
37/100*6000=2220
From the above calculations, arranging the fraction from the largest to the smallest in order is: 3/8, 372/1000,37/100, and 17/48. Thus, the greatest value is 3/8.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=3*width=3*x=3x
Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =3x-4
This is the required equation.
Correct Answer is B

here we use the US customary system to convert between yards and feet. We use the conversion 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 6 yards to ft is found as

Thus, 6 yards is equal to 18 ft.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:
The first step is to divide both sides by 4


Since 5 is subtracted, we add 5 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation


Thus, the value of x is 7.
Correct Answer is C

we need to find the net income of the nurse in 4 weeks from the weekly net income.
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(83.00+38.00+79.00)
Total tax=$200.00
Weekly net income=$(800.00-200.00)=$600.00
In one week, the net income of the nurse is $600.00 and in 4 weeks the nurse will a net income of:

The nurse will earn $2,400.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
