Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 23 dollars.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: The cost is 5 + 2(9) = 23 dollars.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

The cost is 5 + 2(9) = 23 dollars.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A student saves 12 dollars each week and already has 30 dollars. How much will the student have after 5 weeks?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 90 dollars.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Add the initial amount and weekly savings: 30 + 5(12) = 90 dollars.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Add the initial amount and weekly savings: 30 + 5(12) = 90 dollars.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A line has equation (y = 4x - 1). What is y when x = 3?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1111.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Substitute 3: y = 4(3) - 1 = 11.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Substitute 3: y = 4(3) - 1 = 11.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A map scale is 1 centimeter for 4 kilometers. How far does 7 centimeters represent?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 28 kilometers.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Multiply 7 by 4 kilometers per centimeter.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Multiply 7 by 4 kilometers per centimeter.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A store discounts a 120-dollar item by 30%. What is the sale price?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 84 dollars.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: The discount is 36 dollars, so 120 - 36 = 84 dollars.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

The discount is 36 dollars, so 120 - 36 = 84 dollars.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its length is 10 units. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 77 units.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: 2(10 + w) = 34, so 10 + w = 17 and w = 7.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

2(10 + w) = 34, so 10 + w = 17 and w = 7.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A sequence begins 2, 6, 10, 14. What is the 10th term?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 3838.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: The sequence increases by 4, so the 10th term is 2 + 9(4) = 38.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

The sequence increases by 4, so the 10th term is 2 + 9(4) = 38.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A tank holds 50 liters and is filled at 4 liters per minute. How much water is in it after 8 minutes?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 82 liters.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: The tank gains 4(8) = 32 liters, so the total is 50 + 32 = 82 liters.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

The tank gains 4(8) = 32 liters, so the total is 50 + 32 = 82 liters.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A class has 12 students who walk and 18 who ride. What percent of the class walks?

Please select an answer first.

  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

There are 30 students total and 12 / 30 = 0.40, or 40%.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which strategy best checks a solution to a word problem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Substitute the result into the original relationship and check the units.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Substitution and unit checks help determine whether the result fits the original situation.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.
