Can you help me with Question #29 in Practice Test 3, Section 4? I found the answer by subtracting multiples of 9 from 122 to find one that was divisible by 5. Is there a better way?
d = 30 + 2(40 – s) The machine begins the day with $30 inside, so that’s the “30 +” part. Easy enough. The variable s is defined as how many sodas the machine has in it, but what we really care about is how many sodas are sold. We know the machine begins the day with (more…)
You can make two equations here. First, you know the total number of marbles is 103, so: The second equation is more complicated, so let’s do it in parts. First, he gives away 15 red marbles, so he should have r – 15 left. He gives away 2/5 of his blue marbles, so he should have (more…)

Pilar is a salesperson at car company. Each car costs at least $15,000. For each car she sells, she gets 6% commission of the amount by which selling price exceeds $10,000. If Pilar sells a car at d dollars, which function gives her the commission in dollars on sale?
A) C(d)=0.06(d-10000)
B) C(d)=0.06(d-15000)
C) C(d)=0.06(10000-d)
One way to make sure you get questions like these right is to plug in some values to see which equation makes sense. For example, you might choose to plug in 0 for h here because you know that at zero feet above sea level the boiling point should be 212° F. Choices C and D (more…)
