A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $38.40. They wish to leave a 15% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
$4.00
$6.00
$5.00
$7.00
Correct Answer : B
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.

Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:
Or
We want to end up with mL, we utilize the second conversion and set up the following equation.
Thus, 2.5 teaspoons can hold 12.325 mL.

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 D
Explanation
The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week.Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/rangedata. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
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.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
scatter plots can of three types: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot shows that as one variable increase, the other variable increases. A positive correlation can be visually depicted below.
In a negative correlation, the change in one variable is inversely proportional to another variable. That is, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases as shown below.
The third type of scatter plot is a no-correlation scatter plot. In this type of plot, there is no defined relationship between one variable and another one as in the curve below.
If we look at the relationship between the time the student listens to music and his test score, it is evident that no relationship exists between the two variables. Thus, this is a type of no correlation scatter plot.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
from the given estimations, we can find the actual addition of the numbers and see a trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The exact sum is as follows
24+190=214
151+319=470
974+1022=1996
From the above evaluation, we can clearly see the students approximates the value in the ones values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 452+5017.
452+5017=5469
We can approximate 5469 based on the provided choices to 5470.

Explanation
The first three months of the year are January, February, and March. We need to find the total rainfall for these three months from the provided graph.
In the month of January, rainfall is between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches
On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches. Thus,
Total rainfall = 0.5 inches + 1 inches + 2 inches = 3.5 inches
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,
One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2
Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2
Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get
So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.
Correct Answer is D
