SOLUTION SET (MATH I)

1.

( 800 40 ) + [9 2 (17 8) ] ( 2 2 + 3 2 ) = 20 + ( 81 9) ( 4 + 9) = 20 + 9 13 = 16

Answer: B
2.

( 58 + 42) 67 = 100 67 = 33
Answer: A

3.

[ 72,846 ( 2 3) ] ( 75)( 75) = ( 72,846 6) 5,625 = 12,141 5,625 = 6,516

Answer: B

4. A. ( 2 + 2 + 2) 2 = 6 2 = 36

B. ( 2 2 ) + 2 2 + 2 = 4 2 + 4 + 2 = 16 + 6 = 22
Answer: D

= 16 2 = 256

5. 5719x to be divisible by 2, 3, and 6 must follow the divisibility rule for 2, 3, and 6.
Divisibility rule for 2: last digit must be an even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8)
Divisibility rule for 3: sum of all digits must be divisible by 3.
Divisibility rule for 6: must follow the divisibility rule for 2 and 3.
Applying the divisibility rule for 6, we now get the sum of all digits to check if this number is divisible by 3.
5+7+1+9+x = 22+x, since we need an even number for the last digit so that it can be divisible by 2, x = 2 so that
22 + 2 = 24, 24 is divisible by 3.

Answer: A
15. 2:3, ratio of men to women. Let k = constant which we will use as multiplier to the ratio
350
2k + 3k = 350 5k = 350 k =
k = 70 the total number of women in the concert is (70)(3) = 210
5
Answer: B
16. 6:5:4 ratio of apples, banana, & peaches respectively. Let k = constant which we will use as multiplier to the ratio
225
6k + 5k + 4k = 225 15k = 225 k =
k = 15
15
weight of apple = (6)(15) = 90, weight of banana = (5)(15) = 75, weight of peaches = (4)(15) = 60
weight of apple weight of peaches = 90 60 = 30 grams
Answer: A
17. 24 hours 9 hours (sleeping) = 15 hours (awake)
30% of 15 hours = 0.3 x 15 = 4.5 hours per day reading a novel
4.5 x 14 days/2 weeks = 63 hours reading novels in 2 weeks
63 7 hours/novel = 9 novels she can read in 2 weeks
Answer: B
18. let OP = original price
discounted price = OP 0.1OP = 0.9OP
tax = 0.9OP x 0.1 = 0.09OP
amount paid = discounted price + tax = 0.9OP + 0.09OP = 0.99OP

21. first day of the fall: the reservoir is 60% of full capacity
during heavy rains, the reservoir raises 40% of 60% full capacity of the reservoir
after the rain = 60% + ( 0.4 x 0.6) = 60% + 24% = 84% full capacity of the reservoir

Answer: B

23. five consecutive integers: x, x +1, x + 2, x +3, x + 4

x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2) + ( x + 3) + ( x + 4) = 35 5 x + 10 = 35 5 x = 35 10 5 x = 25 x =

25
x=5
5

so the five consecutive integers are: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

let check if their sum is 35: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 11 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 18 + 8 + 9 = 26 + 9 = 35
the prime numbers are 5 and 7.
Answer: C
24. six consecutive integers: x, x +1, x + 2, x +3, x + 4, x + 5
sum of first three terms: x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2) = 27 3 x + 3 = 27 3x = 24 x =

24
x=8

so the six consecutive integers are: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

The sum of last three integers: 11 + 12 + 13 = 36
