a. Pedro

b. Maria

c. Martha 

d. Juan   answer

Solution: 

Pedro = 150/8 

Pedro = $18.75 /hr

Martha = $22.50 /hr

2. If 4x = y + 4 and 

y * 6 = 168, what is x?

a. 6

b. 7

c. 8   answer 

d. 9

Solution: 

step 1:

in the second equation, we can  solve for y 

y * 6 = 168

y = 168/6

y = 28

step 2:

substitute y = 28 

in the first equation 

4x = y + 4 

4x = 28 + 4

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

3. If the numerator of a certain fraction is increased by 200% and its denominator increased by 300%, the resulting fraction is 9/64. What is the original fraction?

a. 1/16

b. 3/16   answer 

c. 3/32

d. 1/8 

Solution: 

let x = numerator 

let y = denominator 

step 1: solve for x

x + 200% x = 9

x + 2x = 9

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

step 2: solve for y

y + 300% y = 64

y + 3y = 64

4y = 64

y = 64/4

y = 16

original fraction 

x/y = 3/16

4. Five sailors went to a restaurant in Hawaii. The restaurant offered 25% discount on all sandwiches. Each of the three sailors ordered chicken sandwich while the other two sailors each ordered tuna sandwich. All of the sailors ordered special Hawaiian $5 juice as beverage. If a chicken sandwich costs $10 and tuna sandwich costs $8, how much was their total bill?

a. $59.50   answer 

b. $60.50

c. $58.50

d. $57.50

Solution: 

chicken sandwich 

= 3 x $10

= $30

tuna sandwich 

= 2 x $8

= $16

subtract 25% discount on all sandwiches

total food

= ($30 + $16) x 75%

= $34.50

total beverage 

= 5 x $5

= $25

total bill

= 34.5 + 25 

= $59.50

5. Find the missing number in the series.
