Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 1/3 of the cargo weighs 516 pounds (lb)?
172 lb
1032 lb
1548 lb
688 lb
Correct Answer : C
In this problem, we assume the truck carries a whole cargo. Thus, total weight is 516 lb divided by 1/3. Thus,

We change the division sign to product and multiply 516 by reciprocal of 1/3. Then,

The weight of the cargo will be 1548 lbs.

Explanation
we are needed to find the amount Lana is left with after spending and investing the rest using the given information.
Amount Lana spends = 80% of $60= 80/100 *60 = $48
Amount left to invest = $(60-48) = $12
Lana is left with $12, which she invests and earns a profit of 80%.
Profit earned = 80% of $12 = 80/100 * 12= $9.20
So, Lana will have $12 + $9.20 = $21.60
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
we follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.
2(4x+3)=7x+5
Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 2
(2*4x)+(2*3)=7x+5
8x+6=7x+5
Subtract 6 from both sides
8x+6-6=7x+5-6
8x=7x-1
Subtract 7x on both sides
8x-7x=7x-7x-1
X=-1
Thus, the value of unknown value of x is -1.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
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.

The initial step is to establish the relationship between area of a circle and the radius. The area of the circle is given by the formula

Now, substituting the 49 π
 in2 in place of A in the equation above becomes:

We want to find r, therefore, we rearrange the equation as

Divide both sides by 


Take square root both sides of the equation


The radius of the circle is 7 in, and the circumference of the circle is determined as follows

Substituting the value of r=7 becomes

Thus, the circumference of a circle whose area is 49
 in2 is 14

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 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.
