Correct Answer: .0625, 1/16

Rationale

4𝑎 𝑎 4𝑎
The correct answer is .0625 . It's given that = 6.7 and = 26.8. The equation = 6.7 can be rewritten as
𝑏 𝑏𝑛 𝑏
𝑎 𝑎 𝑎
(4)( ) = 6.7. Dividing both sides of this equation by 4 yields = 1.675. The equation = 26.8 can be rewritten as
𝑏 𝑏 𝑏𝑛
𝑎 1 𝑎 1 1.675
( )( ) = 26.8. Substituting 1.675 for in this equation yields (1.675)( ) = 26.8, or = 26.8. Multiplying both sides
𝑏 𝑛 𝑏 𝑛 𝑛
of this equation by 𝑛 yields 1.675 = 26.8𝑛. Dividing both sides of this equation by 26.8 yields 𝑛 = 0.0625. Therefore, the
value of 𝑛 is 0.0625. Note that .0625, 0.062, 0.063, and 1/16 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.

thousand and less than 35 thousand. The histogram for company A shows all the values in that data set are close to
the mean. For company B, the histogram shows there are fewer values close to the mean and more values farther from
the mean. Therefore, the standard deviation of number of units sold for company A is less than the standard deviation
of number of units sold for company B.

ID: d783308c Answer

Correct Answer: .54, 27/50

Rationale

The correct answer is .54 . It's given that the number 𝑎 is 70 % less than the positive number 𝑏. Therefore,
70
𝑎 = (1 − )𝑏, which is equivalent to 𝑎 = (1 − 0.70)𝑏, or 𝑎 = 0.30𝑏. It's also given that the number 𝑐 is 80 % greater than

80
𝑎. Therefore, 𝑐 = (1 + )𝑎, which is equivalent to 𝑐 = (1 + 0.80)𝑎, or 𝑐 = 1.80𝑎. Since 𝑎 = 0.30𝑏, substituting 0.30𝑏 for 𝑎
100
in the equation 𝑐 = 1.80𝑎 yields 𝑐 = 1.80(0.30𝑏), or 𝑐 = 0.54𝑏. Thus, 𝑐 is 0.54 times 𝑏. Note that .54 and 27/50 are

Correct Answer: B

Rationale

Choice B is correct. Since 1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards, 1 square mile is equal to 1,7602 , or 3,097,600, square yards. It’s
given that the park has an area of 11,863,808 square yards. Therefore, the park has an area of

objects and has a mean of meters. Data set C consists of the heights of the objects from data sets A and B.
What is the mean, in meters, of data set C?

ID: e03f95ad Answer

Correct Answer: 41

Rationale

The correct answer is 41. The mean of a data set is computed by dividing the sum of the values in the data set by the
number of values in the data set. It’s given that data set A consists of the heights of 75 objects and has a mean of 25
𝑥
= 25, where 𝑥 represents the sum of the heights of the objects, in
75
meters. This can be represented by the equation
meters, in data set A. Multiplying both sides of this equation by 75 yields 𝑥 = 75(25), or 𝑥 = 1,875 meters. Therefore, the
sum of the heights of the objects in data set A is 1,875 meters. It’s also given that data set B consists of the heights of
𝑦
50 objects and has a mean of 65 meters. This can be represented by the equation = 65, where 𝑦 represents the sum
50
of the heights of the objects, in meters, in data set B. Multiplying both sides of this equation by 50 yields 𝑦 = 50(65), or
𝑦 = 3,250 meters. Therefore, the sum of the heights of the objects in data set B is 3,250 meters. Since it’s given that
data set C consists of the heights of the 125 objects from data sets A and B, it follows that the mean of data set C is

1,875 + 3,250
the sum of the heights of the objects, in meters, in data sets A and B divided by the number of objects represented in

discounted price that is off the consumer price. What is the discounted price of each of the remaining books, in
dollars?

ID: 6e1be879 Answer

Correct Answer: 4.05, 81/20

Rationale

The correct answer is 4.05. It's given that the purchase price for certain books is 5.00 dollars each. It's also given that
each book is marked for sale at a consumer price that is 270 % of the purchase price. Since the consumer price is
270 % of the purchase price of 5.00 dollars, it follows that the consumer price is (2.7)(5.00), or 13.50, dollars. It's given
that after 4 months, any remaining books are discounted at 70 % off the consumer price. Thus, the discount amount is
(0.7)(13.50), or 9.45, dollars. Subtracting the discount amount from the consumer price gives the discounted price of
each of the remaining books: 13.50 − 9.45 = 4.05. Note that 4.05 and 81/20 are examples of ways to enter a correct

Therefore, there are a total of 17 + 8, or 25, participants in group A who are at least 10 years of age. Based on the table,
of the total number of participants, there are 30 participants who are 10–19 years of age and 30 participants who are

To study the moisture content in a group of trees, samples from the trunk of each tree were taken from trees and
cut in the shape of a cube. The length of the edge of one of these cubes is centimeters. If this cube has a mass of
grams, what is the density of this cube, in grams per cubic centimeter?

ID: 424cddc9 Answer

Correct Answer: 0.32, 8/25

Rationale

The correct answer is .32. The volume of a cube is given by the formula 𝑉 = 𝑠3 , where 𝑠 is the length of an edge of the
cube. It’s given that each edge of the cube has a length of 2.00 centimeters. Substituting 2.00 centimeters for 𝑠 in the
formula 𝑉 = 𝑠3 yields 𝑉 = (2.00 centimeters) , or 𝑉 = 8.00 cubic centimeters. It’s given that the cube has a mass of 2.56

Therefore,
rectangular items, 42 % are also metal. Therefore, (0.1369𝑥), or 0.057498𝑥, items in the box are rectangular green

that between 32 % and 38 % of people in this population support the legislation. The corresponding numbers of people

Correct Answer: A

Rationale

greatest. Since there are 15 values in data set A, the median is the 8th value. The 8th value is 23, so the median of data
Choice A is correct. The median is the middle value in a data set when the data are arranged in order from least to

set A is 23. The range is found by subtracting the minimum value in a data set from the maximum value. The minimum
value in data set A is 22 and the maximum value is 26. Therefore, the range of data set A is 26 − 22, or 4. It’s given that
data set B is created by adding 46 to each of the values in data set A. Therefore, the 8th value in data set B is 23 + 46, or
69, so the median of data set B is 69. The minimum value in data set B is 22 + 46, or 68, and the maximum value is
26 + 46, or 72. Therefore, the range of data set B is 72 − 68, or 4. Since the median of data set A is 23, and the median of
data set B is 69, the median of data set B is greater than the median of data set A. Since the ranges of data sets A and

The number is greater than the number . The number is less than . What is the value of ?

ID: d683c482 Answer

Correct Answer: 189/4, 47.25

Rationale

The correct answer is 47.25. It’s given that the number 𝑤 is 110 % greater than the number 𝑧. It follows that
110 55
𝑤 = (1 + )𝑧, or 𝑤 = 2.1𝑧. It’s also given that the number 𝑧 is 55 % less than 50. It follows that 𝑧 = (1 − )(50), or
100 100
𝑧 = 0.45(50), which yields 𝑧 = 22.5. Substituting 22.5 for 𝑧 in the equation 𝑤 = 2.1𝑧 yields 𝑤 = 2.1(22.5), which is
equivalent to 𝑤 = 47.25. Therefore, the value of 𝑤 is 47.25. Note that 47.25 and 189/4 are examples of ways to enter a
correct answer.

An insurance company offers a series of three information sessions. people attended the first information
session. of the people who attended the first information session attended the second information session, and
of the people who attended the first and second information sessions attended the third information session.
How many people attended all three information sessions?

ID: d320f4c4 Answer

Correct Answer: 324

Rationale

The correct answer is 324. It’s given that 1,250 people attended the first information session, and that 72 % of the

people who attended the first and second information sessions can be found by calculating 72 % of 1,250, which is
people who attended the first information session attended the second information session. Therefore, the number of

72
equal to 1, 250( ), or 900. It’s also given that 36 % of the people who attended the first and second information
100
sessions attended the third information session. Since 900 people attended the first and second information sessions,
the number of people who attended the first, second, and third information sessions can be found by calculating 36 %
36
of 900, which is equal to 900( ), or 324. Therefore, 324 people attended all three information sessions.

, , , , , , , ,
The mean of these integers is . If the mean of data set A is an integer that is greater than , what is the value of
the largest integer from data set A?

ID: 5f6315e1 Answer

Correct Answer: 52

Rationale

The correct answer is 52. The mean of a data set is calculated by dividing the sum of the data values by the number of
values. It’s given that data set A consists of 10 values, 9 of which are shown. Let 𝑥 represent the 10th data value in data

43 + 45 + 44 + 43 + 38 + 39 + 40 + 46 + 40 + 𝑥 378 + 𝑥
set A, which isn’t shown. The mean of data set A can be found using the expression
. It’s given that the mean of the 9 values shown is 42 and that
10 10
, or
the mean of all 10 numbers is greater than 42. Consequently, the 10th data value, 𝑥, is larger than 42. It’s also given that
the data values in data set A are positive integers less than 60. Thus, 42 < 𝑥 < 60. Finally, it’s given that the mean of
data set A is an integer. This means that the sum of the 10 data values, 378 + 𝑥, is divisible by 10. Thus, 378 + 𝑥 must
have a ones digit of 0. It follows that 𝑥 must have a ones digit of 2. Since 42 < 𝑥 < 60 and 𝑥 has a ones digit of 2, the
only possible value of 𝑥 is 52. Since 52 is larger than any of the integers shown, the largest integer from data set A is 52.
