Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first multiply the daily rental cost by the number of days ($50 * 3 = $150). Then, multiply the cost per mile by the total miles driven ($0.25 * 120 = $30). Add these two amounts ($150 + $30 = $180). Therefore, the correct total cost is $180. Among the choices, only option A ($156) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated total cost. Option B ($190) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost. Option C ($165) is incorrect as it is also higher than the correct total cost. Option D ($210) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The median is the middle value when numbers are arranged in ascending order. In this case, when the scores 81, 92, 87, 89, and 94 are arranged in ascending order, the middle value is 89. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (87) is incorrect as it is not the middle value when arranged in ascending order. Choices C (92) and D (94) are also incorrect as they are not the middle values when the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimal equivalents. -2 3/4 = -2.75 -2 7/8 = -2.875 -1/5 = -0.2 1/8 = 0.125 2/5 = 0.4 Now arrange them in ascending order: -2.875, -2.75, -0.2, 0.125, 0.4 Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is -2 7/8, -2 3/4, -1/5, 1/8, 2/5 (Option C). Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of the numbers when arranged from least to greatest.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct order from least to greatest is -8, -7 4/5, -3/4, 18%, 0.25, 2.5. To determine this: 1. Start with the integers: -8 is the smallest, followed by -7 4/5. 2. Then, consider the fractions: -3/4 is smaller than -7 4/5. 3. Next, compare the decimals: 0.25 is smaller than 18% (which is equivalent to 0.18). 4. Finally, compare 2.5 with the rest; it is the largest. Explanation for incorrect choices: - Choice A: Incorrect order as -8 is greater than -7 4/5. - Choice B: Incorrect order as -3/4 should come before -7 4/5. - Choice C: Incorrect order as 2.5 should be the largest, not the smallest in the list.
