1. If the average of 23, 34, 49, 55, 63, and x is 48. What is the value of x?

 44wrong
 54
 64correct
 74
 84

Average =
Average = 48

Number of terms = 6

Sum of all numbers = 23+34+49+55+63+x

= 224+x
therefore,
48 = (224+x)/6
48 x 6 = 224+xAverage = sum of all numbers / Number of terms
Average = 48
Number of terms = 6
288 = 224 + x
x = 288 - 224
x = 64

2. Lena is reading a road map. On the map, if mm represents 10 km, then approximately how

many km apart are two cities that are mm apart on Lena’s map?
 14.5 km
 45 km wrong
 60 km

4. Aliya gets paid a weekly salary plus commission for every sale she makes. The below
information shows the number of sales(x) she makes and her total weekly salary(y) she receives
every week including the commission
Sales ( x) 2 5 7 9

Weekly salary( y) 3600 4800 5600 6400

Which of the following equation models Aliya’s weekly salary?

 y = 3200 - 400x
 y = 400x + 4000
 y = 400x + 2800 correct
 y = 5000 - 400x
Substitute the value of x in every equation and check which option gives values of y for every
value of x. That will be the correct answer.
y = 400x + 2800

when x = 2

y = 400 x 2 + 2800 = 3600

when x = 5

y = 400 x 5 + 2800 = 4800

when x = 7

y = 400 x 7 + 2800 = 5600

when x = 9

y = 400 x 9 + 2800 = 6400

The statement says for any consecutive odd integers we choose result must be an even number.
Lets choose, x = 1, y=3, and z =5

Substitute values of x, y, and z in the given options and choose the answer which gives the result
as an even number

1. 2(z – x) + y = 2( 5 - 1) + 3 = 11 which is odd number

2. xyz = 1 x 3 x 5 = 15 which is odd

3. (x+y) – z = ( 1 + 3) - 5 = - 1 which is odd

4. x(y+z) = 1( 3 + 5 ) = 8 which is even

diameter of 8 cm. How much foam is needed to make 30 cones?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number

 960
 3016correct
 3015
 3050
To find the total foam needed to make the cones, first find volume of one cone and multiply it by
30.

Volume of the cone,

r=?

Substitute all values in the above equation and calculate for r.

69000 = 45000

= 1.5333

to solve for r, apply logarithm on both sides

log = log 1.5333

8r log e = log 1.5333

r= = 0.053427 , note: ( )

To solve for the population in 2028, use the same equation again and substitute the values
accordingly

here, Ao = 69000
A=?

t = 8 years ( 2020 to 2028)

r = 0.053427
