Q #1: A circle has an area of 49π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi (π)?
A. 14 π in
B. 28 π in
C. 7 π in
D. 3.5 π in
Answer Explanation
The initial step is to establish the relationship between area of a circle and the radius. The area of the circle is given by the formula
Now, substituting the 49 π
in2 in place of A in the equation above becomes:
We want to find r, therefore, we rearrange the equation as
Divide both sides by
Take square root both sides of the equation
The radius of the circle is 7 in, and the circumference of the circle is determined as follows
Substituting the value of r=7 becomes
Thus, the circumference of a circle whose area is 49
in2 is 14

Q #2: Lana has $60. She spends 80% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 80%. How much money does she now have?
A. $21.60
B. $86.40
C. $9.60
D. $60
Answer Explanation
we are needed to find the amount Lana is left with after spending and investing the rest using the given information.
Amount Lana spends = 80% of $60= 80/100 * 60 = $48
Amount left to invest = $(60-48) = $12
Lana is left with $12, which she invests and earns a profit of 80%.
Profit earned = 80% of $12 = 80/100 * 12 = $9.20
So, Lana will have $12 + $9.20 = $21.60
