Test-Taking Tips
• Go to bed early the night before the test. You will think more clearly after
a good night’s rest.
• Read each problem carefully and think about ways to solve the problem
before you try to answer the question.
• Relax. Most people get nervous when taking a test. It’s natural. Just do
your best.
• Answer questions you are sure about first. If you do not know the answer
to a question, skip it and go back to that question later.
• Think positively. Some problems may seem hard to you, but you may be
able to figure out what to do if you read each question carefully.
• If no figure is provided, draw one. If one is furnished, mark it up to help
you solve the problem.
• When you have finished each problem, reread it to make sure your answer
is reasonable.
• Become familiar with a variety of formulas and when they should be used.
• Make sure that the number of the question on the answer sheet matches the
number of the question on which you are working in your test booklet.

Number Sense 1.1
Read, write, and compare rational numbers in scientific notation (positive
NS 1.1
and negative powers of 10) with approximate numbers using scientific
notation.
Notice that the only difference among these numbers is the exponent on 10.
For numbers written in scientific notation, a negative exponent on 10 moves
the decimal point to the left, which makes the number smaller. The exponent
on 2.7 106 is the least and this is the least number. C
First, write out 5.3 million in standard notation as 5,300,000. Then move the
decimal, until you have a number between 1 and 10, in this case, 5.300000
and multiply by a power of 10. The power of 10 is positive if you made the
original number smaller by moving the original decimal point to the left. The
exponent on 10 matches the number of places you moved the decimal. So
5.3 million is 5,300,000 which is 5.3 106. D

C n is rational but not an integer.
D n is neither rational nor irrational.
Terminating and repeating decimals are both rational numbers since they can

numbers. But 7 is not a perfect square. 7 is an irrational number. H
Because 2 is not a perfect square, both 2 and 2 are irrational.

Examples 1 The original price of a jogging suit was $52. The suit is discounted 20%, and
there is 5% sales tax on the discount price. What is the final price?
A $39.52
B $41.34
C $41.60
D $43.68
To find the amount of the discount, use the percent equation, RB P, where
R is the rate, B is the base, and P is the percentage, to find 20% of $52.
0.20 $52 P. P $10.40. Subtract this discount from the original price:
$52 $10.40 $41.60. To find the sales tax, use the percent equation to
find the amount of the tax: 0.05 $41.60 $2.08. Add the tax to the
discount price to find the final price: $41.60 $2.08 $43.68. D
To find the amount of the balance after the first year, multiply $1,000 by
1.03. Each succeeding year, the new balance is multiplied by an additional
1.03. This can be represented by $1,000(1.03)n where n represents the

20% of the bill. What was the approximate amount of his tip?
F $1.98
G $2.50
H $3.00
J $4.00
One way to estimate 20% is to estimate 10%, or $1.98 or about $2. Then
double that to get about $4. Another way to estimate is to recall that 20% is
1 1
equivalent to 5 , so find 5 of $20, which is also $4. J
