1. Correct Answer Explanation: B) Subtracting the second equation from the first,
we get 18x = −27, which gives x = −1.5. Substituting x = −1.5 into the first equation,
we get 27(−1.5) + y = 54, which simplifies to y = 94.5.
3. Correct Answer Explanation: 200: The question states that 60 is q% more than 20.
q
This can be written as 60 = 20 + 100 × 20. Simplifying the right side gives 60 = 20 + 5q .
Subtracting 20 from both sides gives 40 = 5q . Multiplying both sides by 5 gives q = 200.

8. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The margin of error is 0.05, which means the
actual proportion could be as much as 0.05 more or less than the estimate. So, the
range of the proportion is from 0.45 − 0.05 to 0.45 + 0.05, or from 0.40 to 0.50.
9. Correct Answer Explanation: B) First, subtract the weight of the crate from the
total weight capacity of the van to find the remaining weight capacity for the packages.
This gives 3000−300 = 2700 pounds. Then, divide this by the weight of each package to
find the maximum number of packages that can be transported. This gives 2700/50 =
54 packages.
11. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The vertex of a parabola given by the equation
y = a(x − h)2 + k is (h, k). In this case, the vertex is (5, 3). This means that 5 minutes
after the diver started diving, he was at a depth of 3 feet.
13. Correct Answer Explanation: C) From the second equation, we can express x in
terms of y: x = 9y. Substituting x = 9y into the first equation gives 9y + y = 32.
Simplifying this equation gives 10y = 32, so y = 3.2. Substituting y = 3.2 into the
equation x = 9y gives x = 9(3.2) = 28.8. So, the solution for (x, y) is (28.8, 3.2).
15. Correct Answer Explanation: D) Substituting x = 0 into the function gives g(0) =
150(0.2)0 . Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so g(0) = 150 ∗ 1 = 150.

17. Correct Answer Explanation: B) First, simplify √ the left side of the equation to get
2. Substitute
√ this into the equation to get 2 = 6 u + 14. Divide both sides by 6 to
1 1
get 3 = u + 14. Square both sides to get 9 = u + 14. Finally, subtract 14 from both
sides to get u = 19 − 14.
18. Correct Answer Explanation: A) To find 45% of 900, convert 45% to a decimal
(0.45) and multiply by 900 to get 405.
v
19. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The function l(v) = 7000(0.70) 6 is an exponential
decay function. Plugging in the value to find the percentage change per year, we get
1 − (7000 ∗ .72 )/(7000), which is equal to 51 percent.
20. Correct Answer Explanation: C) First, add 30 to both sides of the equation to get
15y = 90. Then, divide both sides by 15 to solve for y, which gives y = 6.
21. Correct Answer Explanation: C) First, add 14 to both sides of the equation to get
4y = 30. Then, divide both sides by 4 to solve for y, which gives y = 7.5.
22. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The y-intercept of a function is the point where
the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This occurs when x = 0. Substituting
x = 0 into the equation y = −x2 + 3x + 2 gives y = 2. Therefore, the y-intercept of the
function is 2.
