1- A Step 1: Since x = 60, triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with sides all equal.

The sides are all equal to 8 Perimeter of triangle ABC = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24. Step 2: Triangle DEF has two angles equal, so it must be an isosceles triangle. The two equal sides will be opposite the equal angles. So, the length of DF = length of DE = 10. Perimeter of triangle DEF = 10 + 10 + 4 = 24. Step 3: Subtract the two perimeters 24 24 = 0 2- C Sum of angles in a triangle = 180. So, y + 40 + 80 = 180 y + 120 = 180 y = 60 3- D Step 1: We need to find the length of the side of the square in order to get the area. Step 2: The diagonal BD makes two 45-45-90 triangles with the sides of the square. Step 3: Using the 45-45-90 special triangle ratio . If the hypotenuse is 2 then the legs must be 2. So the length of the side of the square is 2. Step 4: Area of square = s2 = 22 = 4 4- D Step 1: Write down formula for volume of cylinder V = r2h Step 2: Plug in the values V = 32 5 = 45 V = 45 3.142 = 141.39 Step 3: We now have to test the volume of each of the rectangular solids to find out which is the closest to 141.39 (A) 4 5 5 = 100 (B) 4 5 6 = 120 (C) 5 5 5 = 125 (D) 5 5 6 = 150 (E) 5 6 6 = 180 5- E If C is at least 12 but no more than 12 , then 12 12 - 12 C 12 | , or C- 12

describes all C - 12 . Therefore, |

possible values of C. These inequalities are equivalent to 12 - 12 latter inequalities are equivalent to the inequality | C 12 |

. By the definition of absolute value, the

, which is choice (E), describes all possible values of C.

6- A The following proportion may be written: 1/p=x/5. Solving for the variable, x, gives xp = 5, where x=5/p. So, Lynn can type 5/p pages, in 5 minutes. 7- D $12,590 = Original Price - 0.2(Original Price) = 0.8(Original Price), Original Price = $12,590/0.8 = $15,737.50 8- C The GPA may be calculated by writing the expression, ((3*2)+(4*3)+(2*4)+(3*3)+(4*1))/13, which equals 3, or 3.0. 9- D 10- C The sequence, 9, 11, 13, 15, shows all odd integers, which are consecutive. The sum of 11 and 13 is indeed 24. 11- D The problem may be modeled by the equation, 0.25x = 8.75. Solving for x gives x = 35. Since he thought he had 2 fewer quarters, he originally thought he had 33 quarters in his pocket. 12- A 104=10.10.10.10, or 10,000. 13- B The probability that Tom draws the red marble is (number of red marbles)/(number of marbles in the jar) = 1/8 After Tom draws a marble, the number of marbles in the jar is 8 1 = 7 The probability that Mary draws the blue marble is (number of blue marbles)/(number of marbles in the jar) = 1/7 The probability that Tom draws the red marble AND Mary draws the blue marble is the product of the 2 probabilities calculated above. 1/8 1/7 = 1/56 so x = 56 14- C We have 4 possible integers for a and 4 for b, so the number of possible combinations for (a / b) is 16 a/b is an integer only for 2 combinations: 1. a = 3 and b = 3 2. a = 9 and b = 3 The probability that a/b is an integer is 2/16 = 1/8 = .125

15- C The average of two numbers can be calculated as the sum of those numbers divided by 2. B would thus be calculated as (A + C)/2, and D would be calculated as (C + E)/2. To find the average of those values, you would add them up and divide by 2:

16- E If the arithmetic mean of the three numbers is 8, then the three numbers total 24. We are given m + n, leaving p to equal 24 15 = 9.

17- D There are 18 marbles in total. One of them is removed so now there are 17 marbles. This is our denominator. All of the original white marbles are still in the bag so there is a 4 out of 17 or 4/17 chance that the next marble taken out of the bag will be white. 18- E There are 2 black queens in the deck, one of spades and one of clubs, so there is a 2/52 chance a black Queen will be drawn and 4/51 chance of drawing a 5 of any color, since the queen has already been removed from the deck. Thus: 2/52 * 4/51 = 8/2652 2/663. 19- A Distance = Rate * Time. We are solving for the rate. Susie was driving for 3 hours. The amount she traveled was 100 miles in the first leg plus 40 miles (40 miles per hour for one hour) in the second leg, or 140 miles. 140/3 = 46 2/3 miles per hour. 20- C To find the average you add all the games and divide by the number of games. In this case we have 112 + 134 + x = 246 + x. If we divide by 3 and set our answer to 132, we can solve for x by cross multiplying and solving algebraically. We can also solve this problem using substitution.
