1. Correct Answer: D
Convert 20% to decimal (20% = 0.20). 2. Multiply 0.20 by 470 (0.20 * 470 = 94).
2. Correct Answer: D
Distribute the 2 on the left-hand side to get 4x + 6 = 18. Subtract 6 from both sides
to get 4x = 12. Divide by 4 to get x = 3.
3. Correct Answer: A
The $20 service fee is a one-time cost, and the $12 per hour rental fee is multiplied by
the number of hours t the person rents the bicycle. The person plans to spend at most
$100, so the total cost must be less than or equal to $100. Therefore, the inequality
20 + 12t ≤ 100 captures this situation accurately.
4. Correct Answer: B
To find the solutions for h(x) = x2 − 4x + 4, set h(x) equal to zero, resulting in the
equation x2 − 4x + 4 = 0. Factor the equation to get (x − 2)2 = 0. Solving for x, we
find that x = 2. Since the equation (x − 2)2 = 0 has one unique root at x = 2, the
function h(x) = x2 − 4x + 4 touches the x-axis at x = 2.
5. Correct Answer: B
There are 10 possible outcomes when rolling the die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). There
is only 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 5)., 3. Probability = (favorable outcomes) /
(total outcomes) = 1/10.
6. Correct Answer: C
Substitute x with 3 in the expression g(x) = 5x - 3. Calculate the value of g(3) to get
the correct answer.
7. Correct Answer: D
Cookies are sold for $1 each, so the total amount from cookies is 1x. Brownies are sold
for $3 each, so the total amount from brownies is 3y. The total amount raised should
be $100, so the equation is 1x + 3y = 100.

8. Correct Answer: C
Each 2-point question contributes 2x to the total score, and each 4-point question
contributes 4y. The test is worth a total of 80 points. Therefore, the sum of the points
from the 2-point questions (2x) and the points from the 4-point questions (4y) must
equal 80, leading to the equation 2x + 4y = 80.
9. Correct Answer: C
Identify the coordinates: (x1 , y1 ) = (3, 4) and (x2 , y2 ) = (7, 12). Apply the slope
formula: m = 12−4
7−3
. Simplify the expression and calculate the slope: m = 2.
10. Correct Answer: B
Set y = 0 to find x-intercepts: 0 = x2 + x − 4. Use the quadratic formula. Calculate
the discriminant (d): d = b2 − 4ac = 1 + 16 = 17. Since d >0, there are two distinct
real roots (x-intercepts).
11. Correct Answer: B
Substitute the given value of p (12) into the equation: 2(12) + 4n = 52. Simplify the
equation: 24 + 4n = 52. Subtract 24 from both sides: 4n = 28. Divide both sides by
4: n = 7.
12. Correct Answer: B
Substitute y = 2 into the equation: 3x - 5(2) = 12. Simplify the equation: 3x - 10 =
12. Add 10 to both sides: 3x = 22, 4. Divide both sides by 3: x = 22/3.
13. Correct Answer: D
Identify the given values: P0 = 500, T = 6, and t = 2 years * 12 months/year = 24
months. Substitute the given values into the formula: P (24) = 500 ∗ 2(24/6) . Simplify
the expression: P (24) = 500 ∗ 24 . Calculate the result: P(24) = 500 * 16 = 8000.

15. Correct Answer: B
Each gallon of paint covers 400 square feet, so x gallons will cover 400x square feet.
Therefore, y, the square footage of the wall that can be covered, is 400x.
16. Correct Answer: A
Identify that the triangle is a right triangle because the side lengths are in the ratio
3:4:5. Use the formula for the area of a right triangle: (1/2) * base * height. Plug in the
base and height as 3n and 4n, respectively. Calculate the area: (1/2) ∗ 3n ∗ 4n = 6n2 .

Find qthe distance between the endpoints of the diameter using the distance formula:
d = ((x2 − x1 )2 + (y2 − y1 )2 ). Calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
Substitute the radius value in the equation of the circle.
18. Correct Answer: C
To find the measure of angle B, you start with the measure of angle A which is π4
radians. Angle B is 7π
6
radians greater than A. To find the measure of B, add π4 and
7π 17π
6
to get 12 radians. To convert B from radians to degrees, use the conversion factor
1radian = 180
π
degrees, resulting in a measure of 255 degrees for angle B.
19. Correct Answer: B
Identify the length and width of the garden: Length = 220 feet, Width = 165 feet.
Calculate the area of the garden: Area = length × width. Calculate the product: Area
= 36300 square feet.
20. Correct Answer: D
Identify the given equation of line r: y = 3x - 2. Translate line r to the right by 4 units
to form line s. To do this, replace x with (x-4) in the equation of line r. Substitute
(x-4) in place of x in the equation: y = 3(x-4) - 2. Simplify the equation: y = 3x - 12
- 2. Combine like terms: y = 3x - 14.

21. Correct Answer: D
Set the two equations equal to each other to find the point of intersection. 3x2 −5x+7 =
k. Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation. 3x2 − 5x + (7 − k) = 0. Since
the graphs intersect at exactly one point, the discriminant of the quadratic equation
must be equal to 0. Discriminant (D) = b2 − 4ac. D = (−5)2 − 4(3)(7 − k). Solve for
k. D = 25 - 84 + 12k = 0. 12k = 59. k = 59/12.
22. Correct Answer: A
The equations given are 3x − 4y = 12 and 9x − 12y = 36. The second equation is a
multiple of the first, specifically, 9x − 12y = 3(3x − 4y). This means that the equations
are dependent and represent the same line. Since both equations represent the same
line, there are infinitely many solutions along that line. Therefore, the correct answer
is ‘Infinitely many solutions along the line 3x − 4y = 12.
