A person weighed themselves at 153 lb. Five months later they weighed themselves at 120 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 5 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
38%
22%
19%
29%
Correct Answer : B
The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:
Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight
Absolute change in weight= (left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)
Relative change in weight= (frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)
Percent change=relative change * 100%
Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%
The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In this task, we use the relation from the given scenario to compare the number of dimes to quarters.
If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 2p
Number of nickels in the bottle = 3p
Number of dimes in the bottle =6(3p)=18p
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 9 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.
First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows
Japheth’s age=k
Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.
Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression. The order of operations is PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (in order from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right)
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[3(6+5*4)]
We start with multiplication in parenthesis, 5*4=20. The expression becomes
[3(6+20)]
Then, we conduct the addition in parenthesis 6+20=26. Then, the expression becomes
[3(26)]=3*26=78
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.
Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the area of the room, we form an equation of find an equation relating the length and width of the rectangle. If we let the width of the room to be w, then
Width of the rectangle= w
Length of rectangle=(w+5)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+5)*w
A=w(w+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+5).
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
The mean of a data set is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores = 83+86+76+88+97 = 430
Number of tests = 5
Mean test score = 430/5 = 86
The mean test score is 86.
Correct Answer is C

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.
First, add 2 to both sides of equation



The absolute conditions are:
If Â
 , a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=10, which is greater 0.
The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Divide both sides by 4


The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Divide both sides by 4


Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Here, we are required to find the unit of measuring mass. The SI unit of mass is kilogram but other derived units are grams, milligrams, microgram and more.
A kilogram is a large quantity for measuring heavier objects but grams can used to measure small and light objects such as the mass of the mobile phone. Therefore, gram is the appropriate unit for measuring weight of a mobile phone.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the cheapest option, we find the amount the consume will spend for each option given.:
- 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $16+$5= $21
- 3 Packs of Orange will cost $16+$12=$28
- 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($15)+$7=$37
- 5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($7)=$35
From the above evaluation, the cheapest option will cost the consumer $21. Thus, buying 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows
(2frac{2}{5}=frac{left(2ast5 ight)+2}{5}=frac{10+2}{5}=frac{12}{5})
If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
(frac{x gallons}{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
Cross-multiply to find the value of x.
(frac{x }{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
(x astfrac{4}{7}full tank=frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank)
(x =frac{frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank}{frac{4}{7}full tank}=frac{12}{5}divfrac{4}{7} gallons=frac{12}{5}astfrac{7}{4}gallons=frac{21}{5}gallons)
Converting 21/5 to a mixed fraction is 4 1/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 4 1/5 gallons of water.
