5. Exact Payment for Two Candy Bars Costing 75 Cents
- Two candy bars cost 75 cents total.
- Find the option that adds up exactly to 75 cents.
Analysis:
- 1 dollar bill = $1.00 (too much)
- 1 dollar bill + 5 nickels = $1.00 + $0.25 = $1.25 (too much)
- 6 quarters = 6 x 25c = $1.50 (too much)
- 5 quarters and 3 dimes = (5 x 25c) + (3 x 10c) = $1.25 + $0.30 = $1.55 (too much)
- 1 dollar bill and 3 quarters = $1.00 + $0.75 = $1.75 (too much)
None of these options exactly equals 75 cents.
Check if question means “which is the exact payment for 75 cents”, perhaps the customer pays 75 cents exactly.
Look for coins that sum to 75 cents:
- 3 quarters = 75 cents
But no option for 3 quarters only.
Let’s check the question carefully.
The question says: “A customer buys two candy bars that cost 75 cents. Which of the following is the exact payment?”
Among options, none adds exactly 75 cents, maybe the smallest amount that covers 75 cents.
Options:
A. 1 dollar bill = $1.00 (exceeds 75 cents)
B. 1 dollar bill and 5 nickels = $1.25 (exceeds)
C. 6 quarters = $1.50 (exceeds)
D. 5 quarters and 3 dimes = $1.55 (exceeds)
E. 1 dollar bill and 3 quarters = $1.75 (exceeds)
Since no option is exactly 75 cents, question probably wants smallest amount that pays exactly or more than 75 cents.
Closest to 75 cents is 1 dollar bill, option A.
So, Answer: A. 1 dollar bill
6. Cost of Flower Arrangement
- 6 roses, $1.50 each: 6 × 1.50 = $9.00
- 2 sprays of baby’s breath, $1 each: 2 × 1 = $2.00
- Total cost: $9.00 + $2.00 = $11.00
Answer: J. $11.00
7. Test Period Ending Time
- Test duration: 1½ hours (1 hour 30 minutes)
- Start time: 1:15 P.M.
- Add 1 hour 30 min:
1:15 PM + 1 hour = 2:15 PM
2:15 PM + 30 min = 2:45 PM
Answer: B. 2:45 P.M.
8. Billing Time for Computer Operator
- Start: 2:00 A.M.
- Finish: 4:30 A.M.
Duration = 4:30 - 2:00 = 2 hours 30 minutes = 2½ hours.
Answer: G. 2½ hours
