Enrique weighs 5 pounds more than twice Brendan's weight.
If their total weight is 225 pounds, how much does Enrique weigh?

  1. 125 pounds
  2. 152 pounds
  3. 165 pounds
  4. 115 pounds

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If E + B = 225, and E = 2B + 5, then 225 − B = 2B + 5.
Solving for B:
3B = 220
B = 73.3.
225 − 73.3 = 151.7.



What does (4x − y) + (−10 + y) equal if x = 3 and y = 4?

  1. 14
  2. 22
  3. −2
  4. 2

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Plugging in x and y, you get (4(3) − 4) + (−10 + 4), which is 8 + (−6), or 8 − 6 = 2.



A pasta salad was chilled in the refrigerator at 35°F overnight for 9 hours. The temperature of the pasta dish dropped from 86°F to 38°F.
What was the average rate of cooling per hour?

  1. (0.532°) / hr
  2. (5.3°) / hr
  3. (4.8°) / hr
  4. (5.15°) / hr

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The average rate of cooling is:
(86º − 38º) / 9 hrs;
(48º)/9 = 5.33ºF per hour.



Loral received all her grades for the semester (in parentheses) along with the weight for each grade, shown below.

Weight 45% = 3 tests (80%, 75%, 92%) 25% = final (88%) 15% = paper (91%) 15% = 2 oral quizzes each worth 25 points (22, 19)

What is her final grade?

  1. 85
  2. 79
  3. 86
  4. 88

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Calculate the weighted average of the 3 tests:
(80 + 75 + 92) / 3 = 82.3;
Calculate the average of the 2 oral quizzes:
(22/25) ×100 = 88 and (19/25) × 100 = 76, so (88 + 76) / 2 = 82.
Multiply each grade by their weight, and then add them all up to determine the final grade:
(82 × 0.45) + (88 × 0.25) + (91 × 0.15) + (82 × 0.15) = 85.



The following items were purchased at the grocery store.


What was the average price paid for the items?

  1. $0.34
  2. $0.55
  3. $0.93
  4. $1.38

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Calculate the average price:
((3.5 × 2) + (0.3 × 5) + (1.25 × 3) + (0.45 × 6)) / (2 + 5 + 3 + 6) = 0.93.
