Example Question #361 : Ged Math

Simplify:

$(7-3)^2+9\div 3 \times 2-1$

Possible Answers:

16.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Make sure to follow the order of operations.

Start by simplifying anything found within parentheses.

$(7-3)^2+9\div 3 \times 2-1$

$=(4)^2+9\div 3 \times 2-1$

Next, take care of exponents.

$=16+9\div 3 \times 2-1$

Then, multiply and divide.

=16+6-1

Finally, add and subtract.

=21

Example Question #362 : Ged Math

Simplify the following expression:

$(4-6)^2\times3+2\times 1+(9\div 3)$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall the order of operations. Simplify the parenthetical terms first.

$(4-6)^2\times3+2\times 1+(9\div 3)=(-2)^2\times3+2\times 1+(3)$

Next, tackle the exponents.

$(-2)^2\times3+2\times 1+(3)=4\times3+2\times 1+(3)$

Then, multiply and divide where needed.

$4\times3+2\times 1+(3)=12+2+3$

Finally, add.

12+2+3=17

Example Question #363 : Ged Math

Solve

$(1+2)\cdot3-4^2=?$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall our order of operations, PEMDAS:

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

So for our equation, let's do the parenthesis first

$(1+2)\cdot3-4^2=?$

$(3)\cdot3-4^2=?$

Now exponents

$(3)\cdot3-16=?$

Now multiplication

9-16=?

No division, no addition, so let's do subtraction

-7=?

Example Question #364 : Ged Math

Compute: 2^3+(4-2*5)+(-3)^2+(4)^2

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS:

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract

2^3+(4-2*5)+(-3)^2+(4)^2

Start with the parentheses:

2^3+(4-10)+(-3)^2+4^2

More parentheses:

2^3+(-6)+(-3)^2+16

Exponents:

8+(-6)+9+16

Add/Subtract:

$8-6+9+16\rightarrow 2+25=27$

Example Question #4 : Proportions And Percentages

Sherry deposits $3,000 at 6% simple interest per year. How much will she have in this account after three years, assuming she does not make any withdrawals or deposits?

Possible Answers:

$\$3,018$

$\$3,540$

$\$3,180$

$\$3,054$

Correct answer:

$\$3,540$

Explanation:

Use the simple interest formula

I = Prt

with P = 3,000, r = 0.06, t = 3 :

$I = \$ 3,000 \cdot 0.06 \cdot 3 = \$540$

This is the simple interest earned. Add it to the original principal:

$\$ 3,000+\$540 = \$3,540$
