To find the cost of one pound of bananas in question 6, you can set up a proportion using the given information. Let's say x represents the cost of one pound of bananas:
31/2 pounds = $.98
x pounds = ?
Cross-multiplying, we have (31/2) * x = $.98
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2/31:
x = ($.98) * (2/31)
Evaluating this expression, x ≈ $.0632, which is approximately $.06.
Therefore, none of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer.
Moving on to question 7, to calculate how much you will save by paying cash for the car, we need to find the total amount you would pay if you borrow the money.
$122 a month for 30 months = $122 * 30 = $3660
Now we can subtract the amount you would pay if you borrow the money from the car's price:
$2,695 - $3660 = -$965
Since the result is negative, it means you would save $965 by paying cash.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
For question 8, we need to find the difference between the product of 26.22 and 3.09 and the sum of 3.507, 2.08, 11.5, and 16.712.
First, we calculate the product of 26.22 and 3.09:
26.22 * 3.09 = 80.8398
Then, we find the sum of 3.507, 2.08, 11.5, and 16.712:
3.507 + 2.08 + 11.5 + 16.712 = 33.799
Finally, we subtract the sum from the product to find the difference:
80.8398 - 33.799 ≈ 47.0408
Therefore, none of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer.
Lastly, for question 9, we need to calculate how much more you need to save to reach the total cost of the boat, motor, and equipment.
The total cost of the boat, motor, and equipment is:
$325 + $225 + $79 = $629
To find how much more you need to save, subtract the amount you've already saved:
$629 - $438 = $191
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
