A person weighed themselves at 180 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 160 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
20%
13%
11%
9%
Correct Answer : C
The question requires us to find the percentage change in weight of a person.
First, we need to find the change in weight over the 3 months
Change in weight= 180-160=20 lb
Percent change in weight is change of original weight *100. Thus
The percent change in weight is 11% to the nearest whole number.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
-0.7 becomes 7/10
-1.3 becomes 13/10
Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
-2/3*30=-20
-7/10*30=-70
-13/10*30=-39
-4/3*30=-40
Comparing the obtained values from above, -20 is the greatest followed by -39, -40, -70 in that order. The fraction -2/3 gave a value of -20, which was the greatest value. Thus, -2/3 is the greatest value from the given option.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the cost-effective option, we need to find how much the consumer will spend for the given options:
2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $18+$5= $23
3 Packs of Orange will cost $18+$10=$28
2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($12)+$5=$29
5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($5)=$25
From the above evaluation, the consumer will spend $23 for a cost effective package of soft drinks. Thus, 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.

Explanation
We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
Monday’s price was $50.33
Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61
Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36
Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We are asked to find the number of gallons full tank can hold. The fraction of full tank is 1.
First, we let x be the number of gallons in full tank. Then, set the proportion equation by setting the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.
Converting 42/5 to a mixed fraction is 8 2/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 8 2/5 gallons of water.

Explanation
We are asked to find the dependent variable from the given scenario. A dependent variable is one which varies with another variable. In this case, the cost of the pizza will change with the change in diameter of the pizza, number of toppings, and amount of cheese. In other words, the cost of the pizza depends on the three variables.
Therefore, cost is the dependent variable while the diameter of the pizza, number of toppings and amount of cheese are independent variables.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.
If we let n be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 2n
Number of nickels in the bottle = 4n
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(4n)=20n
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 10 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The number of boxes is determined by finding the volume of the room divided by the volume of the box.
Number of boxes
The approximate number of boxes that can be stored in the room is 92.
However, the room’s dimensions are 9 ft x 9 ft x 9 ft, and the boxes are 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft (unchangeable shape). To determine how many boxes fit along each dimension:
- In the 9 ft length, you can fit\(\frac{9}{2} = 4.5\ boxes\) which means only 4 whole boxes fit along this dimension.
- In the 9 ft width, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
- In the 9 ft height, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
Therefore, the total number of boxes that fit is:
\(4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64\ boxes\)
