Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of items Casey bought for $80, we divide the total amount spent ($80) by the cost per item ($4). The calculation gives us 20, indicating that Casey bought 20 items in total to reach the $80 expenditure ($80 � $4 = 20). Therefore, the correct answer is C, 20. Choices A (12), B (18), and D (24) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct division calculation based on the information provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, 1776 is correctly written as MDCCLXXVI. Here's the breakdown: M (1000) + D (500) + CCC (300) + L (50) + XX (20) + VI (6) = 1776. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation of the date 1776 is MDCCLXXVI. Choice A is correct because it follows the correct Roman numeral rules for representing 1776. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not add up to 1776 according to Roman numeral conventions.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.
