A) 3 consecutive integers total 990, what are the three integers?
4. If a is an odd integer and b is an even integer, which
of the following is an odd integer? (A) 3b (B) a + 3 (C) 2a+b (D) a+ 2b (E) 2a+b
Use answer choices
Percent Percent means hundredths, or number out of 100. For example,
40 percent means 60% reduction = .4 times original
30% increase = 1.3 times original
Average An average is a statistic that is used to summarize data. The most common type of average is the arithmetic mean. The average (arithmetic mean) of a list of n numbers is equal to the sum of the numbers divided by n. For example, the mean of 2, 3, 5, 7, and 13 is equal to
Avg = Total/Number
So
Avg * Number = Total
(5*6
= 2+3+5+7+13)
Average Speed Problem: Jos traveled for 2 hours at a rate of 70 kilometers per hour and for 5 hours at a rate of 60 kilometers per hour. What was his average speed for the 7-hour period?
Distance Speed = Distance/Time,
Time*Speed = Distance
Probability Probability refers to the chance that a specific outcome can occur. It can be found by using the following definition when outcomes are equally likely:
Sequence Find what the pattern is, see how often it repeats.
10 x, y, z, 65 In the sequence of positive integers above, each term, starting with the second, is one less than double the previous term. What is the value of x? (A) 1 (B) 7.25 (C) 9 (D) 17 (E) 525
Ratios Ratio a:b
= fraction a/a+b
Ratio of 3 boys to 2 girls = 3/5 boys, 2/5 girls
The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 3:5:7 what is the smallest angle?

Divisibility To find X that leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5, just add 5 + 3. If 3 divides evenly into X then 3 will also divide into x + 3
Exponents
For all values of a, b,
For example, Note: For any nonzero number x,
Variation Direct Variation: The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x if there exists a nonzero constant k such that Inverse Variation: The variable x is inversely proportional to the variable y if there exists a nonzero constant k such that
11. If y is directly proportional to x and if y = 20 when
x = 6, what is the value of y when x = 9 ? (A) 10 (B) 40 (C) 23 (D) 27 (E) 30 If x is inversely proportional to y and x = 10 when y = 6 what is x when y = 12?
Absolute Value Absolute Value :
=3
means x = 3 or x = -3
To describe all values between 2 and 10, |x -6| < 4
Sets In a list of 24 different numbers, 18 of the numbers are less than 12, and 12 of the numbers are greater than 6. How many of these numbers are both greater than 6 and less than 12? (A) 6 (B) 8 (C) 10 (D) 12 (E) 14
25 cereals have rice or oats or both in them.
If 17 cereal have just oats, and 18 have just rice, how many have both?
Parallel Lines
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon can be found by drawing all diagonals of the polygon from one vertex and multiplying the number of triangles formed by 180.
Triangles . In any triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. In the figure below,
Slopes
Parallel lines have same slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. m is the slope, b is the y intercept (0,b)
