Linear Equations
Note: For all of these problems, the goal is to isolate the variable "n" on one side
Question 1:
8 + n = 13
Answer: 5
(8 + n) - 8 = 13 - 8
n = 5

Averages
Question 1:
Over the course of 4 games, a basketball player scores 12, 20, 36, and 8 points. What is her average score per game?
Answer: 19
Let x represent the average score.
(12 + 20 + 36 + 8) / 4 = x
76 / 4 = x
19 = x
Question 2:
Aidan received the following scores on his Chemistry tests: 80, 90, 70, 100, 70, 100. What is his average test score?
Answer: 85
(80 + 90 + 70 + 100 + 70 + 100) / 6 (number of tests taken) = x
510 / 6 = x
85 = x
Question 3:
Sally has an average exam score of 87 based on 3 Algebra exams taken so far. What score would Sally need to get on her next Algebra exam to bring her average score up to 90?
Answer: 99
Her sum for the last 4 exams was 261 (87 * 3), so we need to add that to x (her potential score on the next exam), and divide by 4 (the total number of exams including the next one), and this must equal 90.
(261 + x) / 4 = 90
((261 + x) / 4 ) * 4 = 90 * 4
261 + x = 360
x = 360 - 261
x = 99
Percentages
Question 1:
There are 36 students in a class and 9 of these students failed their History test. What percentage of these students failed their test?
Answer: 25%
Reframe question: 9 is what percent of 36? Let x = "what percent" and solve for x.
9 = x * 36
9 / 36 = (x * 36) / 36
.25 = x
(and .25 = 25%)
Question 2:
Paula spends $600 per month on rent. If that amount of money is 40% of her monthly income, then how much money does Paula make per month?
Answer: $1500
Reframe question: 600 is 40% of what number? Let x = "what number" and solve for x.
40% of x = 600
.4 * x = 600
(.4x) / .4 = 600 / .4
x = 1500
Question 3:
What is 55% of 40?
Answer: 22
40 * .55 = 22
Question 4:
What is .1% of 3000?
Answer: 3
3000 * .001 = 3
Question 5:
A football team played 52 games in one season. They won nearly 90% of their games. About how many games did they win? (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: 47
Reframe question: What number is 90% of 52? Let x = "what number" and solve for x.
x = 52 * .90
x = 46.8 (round up to 47, so x = 47)
Perimeter and Area of Rectangles
Calculate the Area and Perimeter for each rectangle.
Question 1:
A square with sides that are 4 in long.
Answer: Area: 16 in^2, Perimeter: 16 in
For the area, multiply 2 of the sides of the square and make sure the answer is marked inches squared.
4 * 4 = 16 in^2
For the perimeter, add all sides of the square.
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 in
Question 2:
A rectangle with a length of 5 ft and a width of 3 ft.
Answer: Area: 15 ft^2, Perimeter: 16 ft
For the area, multiply the length and width and make sure the answer is marked feet squared.
5 * 3 = 15 ft^2
For the perimeter, add all sides of the rectange (so 2 lengths and 2 widths).
(2 * 5) + (2 * 3)
10 + 6 = 16 ft
Question 3:
A rectangle with a length of 12 ft and a width of 6 ft.
Answer: Area: 72 ft^2, Perimeter: 36 ft
For the area, multiply the length and width and make sure the answer is marked feet squared.
12 * 6 = 72 ft^2
For the perimeter, add all sides of the rectange (so 2 lengths and 2 widths).
(2 * 12) + (2 * 6)
24 + 12 = 36 ft
Circles Part 1
Use 3.14 for pi.
Question 1:
Given a circle with a diameter of 12 ft, what is its circumference?
Answer: 37.68 ft
The circumference is the diameter times pi (shortened to 3.14 here), so:
12 * 3.14 = 37.68
Question 2:
Given a circle with a diameter of 8 ft, what is its radius?
Answer: 4 ft
The radius is half the diameter, so:
8 / 2 = 4
Question 3:
Given a circle with a circumference of 87.92 ft, what is its radius?
Answer: 14 ft
The circuference is 2 times the radius times pi, so if x represents the radius:
2 * 3.14 * x = 87.92
(6.28 * x) / 6.28 = 87.92 / 6.28
x = 14
Question 4: 69.08 ft
Given a circle with a radius of 11 ft, what is its circumference?
Answer:
11 * 2 * 3.14 = 69.08
Circles Part 2
Use 3.14 for pi.
Question 1:
Given a circle with a diameter of 12 ft, what is its area?
Answer: 113.04 ft^2
area = pi * radius^2 (and the radius is half the diameter) so:
area = 3.14 * 6^2
area = 3.14 * 36 = 113.04
Question 2:
Given a circle with a diameter of 8 ft, what is its area?
Answer: 50.24 ft^2
area = 3.14 * 4^2
area = 3.14 * 16 = 50.24
Question 3:
Given a circle with a radius of 14 ft, what is its area?
Answer: 615.44 ft^2
area = 3.14 * 14^2
area = 3.14 * 196 = 615.44
Question 4:
Given a circle with a radius of 11 ft, what is its area?
Answer: 379.94 ft^2
area = 3.14 * 11^2
area = 3.14 * 121 = 379.94
