If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?
- A. 16%
- B. 18%
- C. 20%
- D. 22%
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

A patient's oxygen flow rate is set at 4 liters per minute. How many cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute?
- A. 400 cubic centimeters
- B. 4,000 cubic centimeters
- C. 40,000 cubic centimeters
- D. 400,000 cubic centimeters
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1 liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, when the oxygen flow rate is 4 liters per minute, the calculation is 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, at a flow rate of 4 liters per minute, 4,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute. Choice A, 400 cubic centimeters, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from liters to cubic centimeters. Choices C and D, 40,000 cubic centimeters and 400,000 cubic centimeters, respectively, are significantly higher than the correct answer due to incorrect conversions or additional errors in calculation.
Divide: 92 · 11 =
- A. 8 r3
- B. 8 r4
- C. 8 r7
- D. 9 r1
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.
What is 110% of 40?
- A. 60
- B. 50
- C. 55
- D. 44
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find 110% of a number, you multiply the number by 1.10. Therefore, 1.10 * 40 = 44. Since 110% of 40 is 44, the correct answer is D. Choice A (60) is the result of finding 150% of 40, not 110%. Choice B (50) is incorrect as it represents 125% of 40. Choice C (55) is not the correct answer as it corresponds to 137.5% of 40.
A cake recipe calls for 2½ cups of flour. How many cups are needed to make 6 cakes?
- A. 12.5 cups
- B. 13 cups
- C. 14 cups
- D. 15 cups
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To make one cake, you need 2½ cups of flour. To make 6 cakes, you would need 6 times the amount of flour for one cake, which is 2½ x 6 = 15 cups. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 cups. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of flour needed for 6 cakes.
If she had $1,070 after spending $18, how much did she have initially?
- A. $1,052
- B. $1,060
- C. $1,071
- D. $1,075
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the initial amount she had, we subtract the amount spent ($18) from the total amount she had after spending. If she had $1,070 after spending, subtracting $18 gives us $1,052, which was the initial amount. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the subtraction of the amount spent to find the initial amount.
