A homeowner wants to install a new water heater. The regular price of the water heater is

\$600

. The hardware store offers a

20\%

discount during a weekend sale.

The final sale price of the water heater is $\$$.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

480

The regular price is

600 and the discount is 20%. To find the discount amount, multiply

600 by 0.20, which yields

120. Subtracting the

120 discount from the regular

600 price results in a final sale price of

480.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the amount of the discount.

20% of

600 = 0.20 \times 600 =

120

The discount is a percentage of the regular price.

2

Subtract the discount amount from the regular price to find the final sale price.

600 -

120 = $480

A discount reduces the original cost of the item.

Anahtar Kavram

Calculating the final price after a simple percentage discount is applied.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of calculating the discount and subtracting it, you can multiply the regular price by the percentage of the price you are actually paying. If the discount is 20%, you pay 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price.

600 \times 0.80 =

480.

Cevap: $16$

Cevap

The team can cut

16

support blocks from the beam.

The correct answer is

16

. To find how many smaller pieces can be cut from a larger piece, you must divide the total length by the length of one piece. Dividing

12

by

\frac{3}{4}

is the same as multiplying

12

by

\frac{4}{3}

, which results in

16

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the total length of the beam and the length of each required block.

The total length is

12

feet, and each block is

\frac{3}{4}

of a foot long.

These values are needed to determine how many times the smaller length fits into the total length.

2

Set up a division equation.

12 \div \frac{3}{4}

To find how many equal pieces can be made from a total amount, division is required.

3

Convert the division problem into a multiplication problem by using the reciprocal of the fraction.

12 \times \frac{4}{3}

Dividing by a fraction is mathematically equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.

4

Multiply the whole number by the numerator and divide by the denominator.

\frac{12 \times 4}{3} = \frac{48}{3} = 16

This completes the calculation, showing the total number of blocks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the target time from hours to minutes so the units match the given rate.

3 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 180 \text{ minutes}

Units of time must be identical before setting up a valid proportion.

2

Set up a direct proportion relating the volume of debris to the time taken.

\frac{120}{45} = \frac{x}{180}

Since the excavator works at a constant rate, the ratio of volume to time remains constant.

3

Solve for the unknown volume (

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find a common denominator to add the current fuel and the added fuel together.

The lowest common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.

84 \frac{1}{3} = 84 \frac{5}{15}

18 \frac{3}{5} = 18 \frac{9}{15}

Fractions must have the same denominator before they can be added.

2

Add the two mixed numbers to find the total amount of fuel currently in the tank.

84 \frac{5}{15} + 18 \frac{9}{15} = 102 \frac{14}{15}

gallons.

This establishes the current volume of fuel occupying the tank.

3

Subtract the total current fuel from the maximum capacity of the tank.

120 - 102 \frac{14}{15}

To subtract, borrow 1 from 120 to create a fraction:

119 \frac{15}{15}

.

119 \frac{15}{15} - 102 \frac{14}{15} = 17 \frac{1}{15}

A specialized automotive repair shop orders a set of custom performance tires. The shop applies a $50\%$ markup to the wholesale cost to establish the regular customer price. During a seasonal promotion, the shop offers a $30\%$ discount off the regular customer price. If a customer pays $\$420.00$ for the set of tires during this promotion, what was the shop's original wholesale cost for the tires?

\$300.00

\$350.00

\$400.00

\$1,200.00

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: \$400.00

Cevap

The original wholesale cost for the tires was

\$400.00

.

To find the original wholesale cost, we must reverse the successive percentage operations. A

50\%

markup means the regular price is

150\%

of the wholesale cost (a

1.50

multiplier). A

30\%

discount means the customer pays

70\%

of the regular price (a

0.70

multiplier). Multiplying these factors gives a net multiplier of

1.50 \times 0.70 = 1.05

. This means the final price of

\$420.00

is exactly

105\%

of the wholesale cost. Dividing

\$420.00

by

1.05

yields

\$400.00

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define the variable and set up the multipliers for successive percentage changes.

Let

W

be the wholesale cost. The markup multiplier is

(1 + 0.50) = 1.50

. The discount multiplier is

(1 - 0.30) = 0.70

.

A

50\%

markup increases the cost to

150\%

, and a

30\%

discount reduces the marked-up price to

70\%

of its value.

2

Create an equation relating the wholesale cost to the final customer price.

W \times 1.50 \times 0.70 = 420

Applying the successive multipliers to the wholesale cost must equal the final price paid by the customer.

3

Simplify the equation and solve for the wholesale cost.

1.05W = 420 \implies W = \frac{420}{1.05} = 400

Multiplying

1.50 \times 0.70

reveals that the final price is exactly

105\%

of the wholesale cost. Dividing isolating

W

provides the initial value.

The scenario requires calculating a proportional amount while successfully navigating two unit conversions. First, harmonize the time units by converting

1.5

hours to

90

minutes. Next, convert the initial weight of

3.5

tons into

7,000

pounds. Using these standardized units, set up the proportion:

7,000 \text{ lbs} / 12 \text{ min} = x \text{ lbs} / 90 \text{ min}

. Cross-multiplying gives

12x = 630,000

, and dividing by

12

results in exactly

52,500

pounds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the target time frame from hours to minutes so it matches the time unit in the given rate.

1.5 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 90 \text{ minutes}

Direct proportions require time units to be identical across both ratios.

2

Convert the initial weight from tons to pounds to match the requested unit for the final answer.

3.5 \text{ tons} \times 2,000 \text{ pounds/ton} = 7,000 \text{ pounds}

Harmonizing the weight units prevents conversion errors at the end of the calculation.

3

Set up a direct proportion equation comparing weight to time.

\frac{7,000 \text{ pounds}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{x \text{ pounds}}{90 \text{ minutes}}

Because the drop rate is constant, the ratio of weight to time remains equal.

4

Solve for the unknown weight (x).

x = \frac{7,000 \times 90}{12} = \frac{630,000}{12} = 52,500 \text{ pounds}

Cross-multiplying and dividing isolates the variable, yielding the total pounds dropped over the full time period.

In an occupational safety training session, workers are informed that exposure to steam at $100^\circ\text{C}$ causes significantly more severe burns than exposure to liquid water at $100^\circ\text{C}$ . Which thermodynamic factor directly accounts for this difference?

A higher average molecular kinetic energy in steam molecules than in liquid water molecules

The substantial release of latent heat as steam condenses into liquid upon contact with the skin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The substantial release of latent heat as steam condenses into liquid upon contact with the skin

Cevap

The substantial release of latent heat as steam condenses into liquid upon contact with the skin

When steam at

100^\circ\text{C}

comes in contact with cooler skin, it undergoes a phase change into liquid water at

100^\circ\text{C}

. During this condensation process, it releases its latent heat of vaporization (approximately

2{}260\text{ J/g}

) directly onto the skin before the resulting water even begins to cool. By contrast, boiling liquid water at

100^\circ\text{C}

only releases sensible heat as its temperature drops (

q = mc\Delta T

), yielding roughly

264\text{ J/g}

when cooling to body temperature. The additional latent heat released by steam transfers nearly ten times as much total energy to the skin, causing far more destructive burns.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the thermal energy transferred by liquid water at

100^\circ\text{C}

Liquid water at

100^\circ\text{C}

transfers sensible heat only as it cools down to body temperature (

37^\circ\text{C}

), which equals approximately

264\text{ J/g}

.

Liquid water does not undergo a phase change when contacting skin.

2

Analyze the thermal energy transferred by steam at

100^\circ\text{C}

Steam at

100^\circ\text{C}

must first condense into liquid water at

100^\circ\text{C}

, releasing approximately

2{}260\text{ J/g}

of latent heat of condensation, and then release another

264\text{ J/g}

of sensible heat as the liquid cools.

Phase change from vapor to liquid requires the release of latent heat of vaporization.

3

Compare total energy delivered to the tissue

Steam delivers nearly ten times more thermal energy per gram than boiling water at the same temperature.

The large latent heat of condensation accounts directly for the greater severity of the burn.

An industrial textile loom weaves $4.5$ yards of heavy canvas every $12$ minutes. Operating at this same constant rate, how many feet of canvas will the loom produce during a complete $8$ -hour work shift?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 540

Cevap

540 feet

To solve this problem, you must properly scale a direct proportion while paying careful attention to units. First, harmonize the time units: an 8-hour shift is equal to 480 minutes (8 × 60). Next, set up a proportion or find the scale factor: 480 minutes is exactly 40 times longer than the 12-minute baseline (480 ÷ 12 = 40). Because the loom operates at a constant rate, it will produce 40 times as much canvas. Multiply the 4.5 yards by 40 to find the total yards produced (4.5 × 40 = 180 yards). Finally, the question asks for the answer in feet. Since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, multiply 180 yards by 3 to get exactly 540 feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the total operating time from hours to minutes to match the given rate's unit of time.

8 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 480 \text{ minutes}

Units of time must be identical before calculating the direct proportion.

2

Determine how many 12-minute intervals occur in the 480-minute shift.

Calculate the total yards of canvas produced during the entire shift.

40 \times 4.5 \text{ yards} = 180 \text{ yards}

Because production is directly proportional to time, multiplying the base production by the time scale factor yields total yards.

4

Convert the total production from yards to feet to answer the specific question asked.

180 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 540 \text{ feet}

The stem explicitly asks for the final length in feet, making this unit conversion a critical final step.

$252.00

$255.00

$294.00

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $252.00

Cevap

$252.00

To find the total cost, first find the sale price by calculating 20% of

300.00, which is

60.00. Subtract this discount from the original price to get

240.00. Next, calculate the 5% sales tax on this new sale price: 0.05 ×

240.00 =

12.00. Finally, add the tax to the sale price:

240.00 +

12.00 =

252.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the discount amount.

20% of

300.00 = 0.20 ×

300.00 = $60.00

The discount must be determined to find the sale price.

2

Subtract the discount from the original price.

300.00 -

60.00 = $240.00

This provides the discounted sale price upon which tax is calculated.

3

Calculate the sales tax on the sale price.

5% of

240.00 = 0.05 ×

240.00 = $12.00

Sales tax is always applied to the final discounted price of the item.

4

Add the sales tax to the sale price.

240.00 +

12.00 = $252.00

This determines the final total cost the customer must pay.

You can solve this using multipliers in a single step: Total Cost = Original Price × (1 - Discount Rate) × (1 + Tax Rate). Here,

300.00 × 0.80 × 1.05 =

252.00.

Read the financial scenario below and fill in the missing monetary amounts.

Aşağıdaki boşlukları doldurun

A small business owner takes out a short-term loan to purchase new equipment. The loan accrues annual simple interest at a rate of

6\%

. After

9

months, the owner repays the loan in full with a single payment of

\$4,180

, which includes both the original principal and the accumulated interest.

The original principal amount of the loan was $\$

and the total interest charged was

\$$.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The original principal amount was

4,000 and the interest charged was

180.

To find the original principal and interest from a total payoff amount, we must relate them using the formula

A = P(1 + RT)

. Because the rate is annual, the

9

months must be expressed as

0.75

years (or

3/4

). Substituting the knowns gives

4180 = P(1 + 0.06 \times 0.75)

, which simplifies to

4180 = 1.045P

. Dividing

4180

by

1.045

gives a principal of

\$4,000

. The interest is the total paid minus the principal:

4180 - 4000 = \$180

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the time period from months to years.

T = 9 \text{ months} = \frac{9}{12} \text{ years} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ year}

Annual simple interest rates require the time variable to be in years.

2

Set up the simple interest total amount formula.

A = P(1 + RT)

This formula relates the known total payoff amount (

A

) directly to the unknown principal (

P

).

3

Substitute the known values and simplify the interest multiplier.

4180 = P(1 + 0.06 \times \frac{3}{4}) \Rightarrow 4180 = P(1 + 0.045) = 1.045P

To create a single linear equation with

P

as the only unknown.

4

Solve for the principal (

P

).

P = \frac{4180}{1.045} = 4000

Dividing the total amount by the interest factor isolates the initial loan amount.

5

Calculate the total interest charged (

I

).

I = A - P = 4180 - 4000 = 180

The interest is the difference between the total amount paid and the original principal.

A portable generator consumes $8$ liters of fuel every $12$ hours of operation. At this constant rate, how many liters of fuel will the generator consume in $48$ hours of operation?

2

3.2

32

72

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 32

Cevap

The generator will consume 32 liters of fuel.

Because the generator operates at a constant rate, the relationship between time and fuel is a direct proportion. The new operating time (

48

hours) is exactly

4

times longer than the original operating time (

12

hours). Therefore, the fuel consumption will also be

4

times greater:

8 \text{ liters} \times 4 = 32 \text{ liters}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the relationship between the two operating times.

48 \div 12 = 4

Finding the scale factor makes it simple to calculate the proportionally larger amount of fuel.

2

Multiply the original fuel amount by the scale factor.

8 \times 4 = 32

liters

In a direct proportion, whatever factor scales the time must also scale the fuel consumption.

Anahtar Kavram

Direct proportions state that as one quantity increases by a certain multiplier, the related quantity increases by that exact same multiplier.

In modern energy-efficient construction, a radiant barrier made of highly reflective aluminum foil is often installed in attics facing an open air gap. Which heat transfer mechanism is this reflective surface primarily designed to reduce?

Conduction through solid structural framing

Radiation emitted across the open air space

Convection generated by circulating attic air currents

Phase changes caused by moisture condensation

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Radiation emitted across the open air space

Cevap

Radiation emitted across the open air space

Thermal radiation travels in the form of electromagnetic infrared waves across open spaces. Radiant barriers possess high thermal reflectivity and low emissivity, meaning they reflect the majority of radiant heat emitted by a hot roof deck rather than absorbing and reradiating it into the attic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the physical properties and placement of the material described in the stem.

The material is a shiny, highly reflective foil facing an open air space.

Reflective materials interact directly with electromagnetic waves rather than direct contact or fluid mass movement.

2

Differentiate between the three fundamental mechanisms of thermal energy transfer.

Thermal conduction requires direct solid contact, convection requires fluid circulation, and thermal radiation travels as electromagnetic waves across empty or gas-filled space.

Reflective surfaces reflect incoming infrared radiation and have very low thermal emissivity, preventing radiative heat transfer across the air space.
