For a school's annual budget, the total amount of money spent on supplies (s) and textbooks (t) cannot exceed $12,000. Which of the following inequalities represents this scenario?
s + t >= $12,000
s + t > $12,000
s + t < $12,000
s + t <= $12,000
Correct Answer : D
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t < $12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, the required inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We extrapolate the values of a line between 10 and 15 on y-axis to meet the curve and drop another line from the intersection of the curve to meet the x-axis and read off the age of the car.
Now, let’s extrapolate in the following diagram
The intersection of the line and the x-axis is between 4 and 5 years. This means that the car is about 4.5 years old. From the options given, the age of the car is more than 3 years old.

Explanation
Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then
74%+3%+2%+x=100%
79%+x=100%
Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation
79%-79%+x=100%
x=100%-79%
x=21%
So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.
Area of the square =side*side
Side=3.1 m
Area of the square =3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2
Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.

Explanation
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:
From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Â Mathematically,
But C=13 inches
If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches
6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches
From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

We need to perform a series of numerical dimensional analysis to find the number of bags sugar needed for 300 people.
We are told that 50 people need 4 cups of sugar. This can be interpretated as:
Or
Also, one bag of sugar contains 6 cups. This can also be presented as:
Or
We use the second option relating number of people and cups, and second option relating cups of sugar and bag of sugar to find for number of bags of sugar needed for 300 people.
Â
Therefore, 300 people will need 4 bags of sugar.
