Question 1
An invoice shows a subtotal of 86.00, a 10% discount, and tax of 7.50. What is the total amount due after discount and tax?
Correct Answer:
84.90
Explanation:
Start with the subtotal and apply the 10% discount. Ten percent of 86 is 8.60, so the price after discount is 86 - 8.60 = 77.40. The tax is given as a fixed amount, 7.50, so you add it to the discounted price: 77.40 + 7.50 = 84.90. Therefore, the total amount due is 84.90. This matches the correct result because you first reduce the amount by the discount, then add the specified tax.
Question 2
A $2000 loan at 6% simple interest for 1 year. What is the interest earned?
Correct Answer:
120
Explanation:
Simple interest is found by multiplying the principal by the interest rate and the time. Here, the principal is 2000 dollars, the rate is 6% per year, and the time is 1 year. Convert 6% to a decimal (0.06), then compute: 2000 × 0.06 × 1 = 120. So the interest earned is 120 dollars.
Question 3
A salary increases from 40,000 to 44,000. What is the percent increase?
Correct Answer:
10
Explanation:
To find the percent increase, relate the change to the original amount. The salary goes from 40,000 to 44,000, so the increase is 44,000 − 40,000 = 4,000. Now compare that to the original salary: 4,000 ÷ 40,000 = 0.10. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage: 0.10 × 100 = 10%. So the salary increased by 10 percent. For context, 8% would be an increase of 3,200, 9% would be 3,600, and 12% would be 4,800, none of which match the actual 4,000 increase.
Question 4
A travel authorization lists a distance of 300 miles with a mileage rate of $0.50 per mile. What is the travel reimbursement?
Correct Answer:
150
Explanation:
The essential idea is to multiply the distance by the per‑mile rate to get the reimbursement. So, 300 miles at $0.50 per mile is 300 × 0.50 = 150. The travel reimbursement is $150.
Question 5
Which term describes an area of land or section under the power of a certain individual(s)?
Correct Answer:
Territory
Explanation:
Territory is the term that describes land under the power or authority of a ruler or government. It emphasizes both the geographical area and the governance over it, which is exactly what the prompt is asking. While domain can mean a sphere of influence or an area of control, it’s more abstract and not typically used for a defined piece of land. Province refers to a political subdivision within a country, and region is a broad geographical area without implying formal governance. So territory best captures the idea of land controlled by someone.
