(1)The number of questions on the exam was 225 (2)The number of questions he left unansweres. Two complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees. Since 180 is TWICE AS MUCH AS 90, it is 100% MORE THAN 90. Do not be tricked into thinking that if a number is twice as much, it is 200% GREATER; it is just 200% OF, not MORE THAN. .002 = b. 500a = b. 500 = 50,000%.13.The sum of two supplementary angles is what percent greater than the sum of two complementary angles? (A)200% (B)150% (C)100% (D)75% (E)50%13. (C) Two supplementary angles sum up to 180 degre)*(1/2) = 1/30 which is approximately .0333 or 3-1/3%.12.a = .1% of 2b.What percent of a is b? (A)50,000% (B)5,000% (C)500% (D)5% (E) .5%12. (A) .1% is the same as the decimal .001. If a = .001*2b, then a = .002b. Therefore, a/blue eyes.Approximately what percent of all the people in Burnsville are blue-eyed men over 6' tall? (A)1/3 % (B)33-1/3% (C)30% (D)3-1/3% (E)Cannot be determined11. (D) Convert all the numbers to fractions and multiply: (1/3)*(1/5 answer (A) is the approximate percentage that the area of the square is of the area of the triangle; the question asks for the opposite. 11. One-third of the people of Burnsville are men; 20% of the men are over 6' tall; 50% of the men over 6' tall have and a height of 4? (A)1,089% (B)990% (C)36% (D)18% (E)9%10. (E) The area of the square is side times side, or 196. The area of the triangle is 1/2 base times height, or (1/2)(9*4) = 18. 18/196 = approximately .09 or 9%. Note that = $22.50. Add the numbers to get a total of $87.50; divide by 17 to get about 5. Try to do these types of problems in your mind; the answers are far enough apart to allow you to estimate easily. 11.Three children want to buy a book priced at $4.90. Eaach, and 3 records at $7.59 each.To the nearest dollar, what was the average price he paid per record? (A)$7.00 (B)$6.00 (C)$5.00 (D)$4.00 (E)$3.0010. (C) You should have estimated; 8 * $4.00 = $32.00; 6 * $5.50 = $33.00; 3 * $7.50ou should have ESTIMATED the answer to this problem: since 18,500 divided by 10 equals 1,850, the same number divided by 16 must equal less than that. Only one answer is less than 1,850.10.Humphrey bought 8 records at $3.99 each, 6 records at $5.49 e hauled per trip? (A)12,000 (B)11,560 (C)6,678.50 (D)1,156.25 (E)Cannot be determined9. (D) To find the average, divide the total number of pounds hauled by the number of trips it took to haul them. 18,500/16 = 1,156.25. Note that y - 3 + 5 + 6 = 10) to have a total of 14x + 10. Divide by the number of terms, 4, to have (14x + 10)/4. Reduce by a factor of 2 to get (7x + 5)/2.9.Eunice hauled 18,500 pounds of turnips in 16 trips. What was the average number of pounds of turnips she 25 + 29 = 54; 54/2 = 27.8.What is the average of (3x + 2), (2x - 3), (16x + 5) and (6 - 7x)? (A)(7x + 5)/2 (B)(7x - 5)/2 (C)(11x + 4)/4 (D)(11x - 4)/4 (E)(14x + 5)/48. (A) Add all the like terms: (3x + 2x + 16x - 7x = 14x), (2ch that the series is 13-17-21-25-29-33-37-41. With an even number of evenly spaced numbers, you find the average by adding the first and last numbers and dividing by 2: 13 + 41 = 54; 54/2 = 27. You could also add the central two numbers and divide by 2:.7.What is the average of a series of 8 evenly spaced integers whose first two terms are 13 and 17? (A)18 (B)22 (C)23 (D)27 (E)297.

(A) Since the series begins with terms that are 3 units apart, all the terms must be evenly spaced by 3's, such that the series is 3-6-9-12-15-18-21. With an odd number of evenly spaced terms, the number in the middle, 12, is the averagefind Ronnie's age in years. old is Ronnie?

Add 5 years to that to Y container will hold twice as many pints as quarts. Statement two allows you to solve the problem; since 1 gallon = 16 cups, 14 gallons = 14*16 cups. Do NOT take the time to do the multiplication; simply determine that the data are sufficient.11.Howw many cups of water will it take to fill the barrel?

If Richard traveled 5/8 as fast, he went 25 mph for the same distance, 60 miles, taking 2.4 hours, or 144 minutes. 144 - 90 = 54 minutes that David will have to wait.7.How much inteance.

The profit was 25% of $36.00, or $9.00. $36.00 + $9.00 = $45.00. 6.David and Richard start driving from the same point at the same time.David drives 40 mph for 60 miles.

You have the number of players, but have no idea what the tot third highest tests: 194 (97 + 97). Add the three lowest tests to get a total of 264 points; the remaining or highest test must have had a score of 100 points.20.What is the average number of points scored on the video game?

Since you don't know the scores for all the students, you cives you basically the same information; if the last term of 7 consecutive numbers is 25, those numbers must be 25-24-23-22-21-20-19.

(B) If each of the first group of children has contributed $0.65, the total so far is $1.95, which leaves $2.95 to be contributed by the 5 new children. $2.95/5 = $0.59 contribution PER ADDITIONAL CHILD. Note that if you divided the total, $4.90, bych child has $0.65.If five more children each contribute an amount that makes the total of all contributions enough to buy the book, how much on the average must each new child contribute?

If he wants to make 100 toys, it will take him 2 1/2 hours (40 * 2 1/2 = 100). Add 2 1/2 hours to the starting time of 3:00 to get a finishing time of 5:s in a dollar, 100. 4.George begins assembling toys at 12:30 and has 80 done by 2:30.The next day, he begins at 3:00.If he works at the same rate as he did the previous day, at what time will he have assembled 100 toys?

Since everything is in terms of dollars, you want to multiply by the number of cent; the wholesale price is $8.00. The agent gets 20%, or 1/5, of the author's 5%. He therefore gets 1% of the wholesale price; 1% of $8.00 = 8 cents.3.Frances bought "a" items for a total of "b" dollars. What is the average price per item in cents? (A2. (E) You may recognize that 12.5% is the same as 1/8, and therefore 112.5% is the same as 1 1/8, or 9/8. (If you did not know this, you could have converted 112.5% to the fraction 1125/1000 and reduced it to get 9/8.) $9.00 = 9/8 of the wholesale pricer $9.00 which is 112.5% of the wholesale price.If the author gets a 5% royalty of the wholesale price and her agent gets 20% of her royalties, how much money does her agent make per book?
