Question
What is the exact area of a circle having the diameter of 6in A:9 pie B: 36pie C: 6 pi D: 3pie
Solution 1
Area of circle = pi r^2
r = 6/2 = 3
so
A = pi (3)^2 = 9pi

answer
A. 9 pi
Question
A pie takes 2/3 of an hour to bake if a pie is put into the oven at 7:30 at what time does it need to be taken out.
Solution 1
Convert hour to minutes:
2/3 hours = 2/3 x 60 = 40 mins

                   30 mins                    10 mins
   |-----------------------------|--------------------------------|
7.30                             8.00                               8.10

Answer: 8:10

Solution 2
You would have to take the pie out at 8:10, because 2/3 of an hour is 40 minutes. To make the addition of time easier break it up into bits, like for here you could say, 7:30 plus 30 minutes out of the 40 is 8:00 then you could just add the extra ten minutes afterwords!
Hope this helps, have a good day!

Question
How much does your employer pay into the Social Security system on your behalf? A - 4.2 percent B - 8.4 percent C - 6.2 percent D - 12.4 percent
Solution 1
Workers pay an average of 6.2 percent which is 127,000 a year. But employers pay a matching amount for a combined contribution of 12.4 percent of earnings.

Meaning you are either getting 6.2 percent for being a WORKER.
or getting 12.4 percent for being a EMPLOYER.

In this question you are looking for employer so the answer is 12.4
 
Solution 2

Answer:

In this question you are looking for employer so the answer is 12.4

Question
Find the fifth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = tn-1 + 4. A) 5 B) 7 C) 19 D) 23 2) Find the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 2 and t4 = -10. A) -10 B) -34 C) -38 D) -106 3) Find the fifth term of the geometric sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = 2tn-1. A) 5 B) 6 C) 48 D) 96
Solution 1
We know that

Part a) Find the fifth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = tn-1 + 4
t1=3
t2=t1+4----> 3+4-----> 7
t3=t2+4-----> 7+4----> 11
t4=t3+4-----> 11+4---> 15
t5=t4+4-----> 15+4---> 19

the answer Part a) is 19

Part b) Find the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 2 and t4 = -10

we know that 
tn=t1+(n-1)*d-----> d=[tn-t1]/(n-1)
t1=2
t4=-10
n=4
find the value of d
d=[-10-2]/(4-1)-----> d=-12/3----> d=-4
find the tenth term (t10)
t10=t1+(10-1)*(-4)----> t10=2+9*(-4)----> t10=-34

the answer Part b) is -34

Part c) Find the fifth term of the geometric sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = 2tn-1
t1=3
t2=2*t1----> 2*3----> 6
t3=2*t2----> 2*6----> 12
t4=2*t3-----> 2*12---> 24
t2=2*t4----> 2*24----> 48

the answer Part c) is 48
Question
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. [1] [2] [3] What is P(3, greater than 2)? Write your answer as a percentage.
Solution 1
Probability of first getting a  3 = 4/52 = 1/13
The p(getting >2)  =   probability of getting  one of the remaining 3's or 40 other cards ( Im taking the aces to be low value)  = 43/51

Required probability = 1/13 * 43/51 =  43/663

If aces are counted high it will be 1/13 *  47/51 =   47/531

Question
Kristin decides to spend at most $50 for a birthday dinner at a restaurant, including a 15% tip., Write an inequality in one variable to represent this situation. What is the most that her meal can cost before a tip?
Solution 1
Let
x------------> a birthday dinner at a restaurant, including a 15% tip.

we know that

Kristin decides to spend at most $50
so
x <= $50

the answer part a) is
x <= 50

Part b) What is the most that her meal can cost before a tip?

the tip is 15%
so
cost after tip=1.15*cost before a tip
cost before a tip=cost after tip/1.15
50/1.15-------> $43.48

the answer part b) is 
$43.48
