QUESTION CORRECT ANSWER

D
Given:

FRUIT 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

Apple $2.50 $3.00 $4.25 $4.50 $3.80
Banana $1.20 $1.50 $1.80 $2.50 $3.00
Melon $7.50 $8.50 $9.60 $12.00 $15.00
Strawberry $0.50 $0.80 $1.00 $1.80 $2.00
Watermelon $32.00 $28.00 $30.00 $34.00 $36.50

Solution:
Apple:
4.5 - 3 = $1.5
1.5
Percentage = 4.5
x 100 = 33.33%

Banna:
2.5 - 1.5 = $1
1
1 Percentage = x 100 = 40 %
2.5

Melon:
12 - 8.5 = $3.5
3.5
Percentage = 12 x 100 = 29.167%

Strawberry:
1.8 - 0.8 = $1
1
Percentage = 1.8
x 100 = 55.56%

Watermelon:
34 - 28 = $6
6
Percentage = 34
x 100 = 17.65%

Therefore the answer is choice D

E
Given:
2
Average = 12
Range = 15
 Solution:
Five numbers’ range = 15
This means max - min = 15
max = min + 15

Given that average = 12,

The problem is asking for greatest possible value of max

then we should minimize all the remaining 3 numbers (excluding min) to get the greatest
possible value

The minimum possible values of the other 3 numbers = min

Hence, the five numbers are:

min, min, min, min, min + 15

Let min = m

Since average = 12
𝑚 + 𝑚 + 𝑚 + 𝑚 + 𝑚 + 15
12 = 5
60 = 5m + 15
5m = 45
m = 9 ← minum is 9

max = min + 15
max = 9 + 15
max = 24

E
Given:
Commissions of $200, $90, and $130
Average of 4 sales commission = $165

3 Solution:
Let X = 4th commission
200 + 90 + 130 + 𝑋
165 = 4
660 = 420 + X
X = $240

C
Given:
4 Average of 70 box = 80 marbles
Average of 40 box = 65 marbles
 Solution:
Let X = Average of the remaining 30 boxes
65(40) + 30(𝑋)
80 = 70
5600 = 2600 + 30X
30X = 3000
X = 100 marbles

A
Given:

Solution:
Total = $300 000
Team X = 9.5%

Team X = 300 000 (0.095)

Team X = $28 500

C
Given:
Total = 10 cars
Average = $250 000
Average of 6 = $300 000

Solution:
6 Let X = average of remaining 4

300 000(6) + 4(𝑋)

250 000 = 10
2500000 = 1 800 000 + 4X
700 000 = 4X
X = $175 000

D
Given:

7 CRATE NUMBER OF CARROTS

1 51
2 48
3 49
 4 52
5 ?

Average = Median

Solution:
48,49,51,52,? ← middle is 51

48 + 49 + 51 + 52 + ?
51 = 5
255 = 200 + ?
? = 55 carrots

E
Given:
Total = 25 students
Median = 85
Highest = 95

Solution:
25 students:
median = 85
Highest = 95

Since median = 85, this means 13th term = 85 ← Middle

So, we have {12 terms}, 85, (11 terms}, 95.

8
I. 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90,
95
Correct or possible

II. 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 90,
90,90, 90, 95
Correct or possible
III. 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85,
85, 85, 85, 95
Correct or possible

Therefore all three cases possible

Therefore the answer is choice E

B
9 Given:
Average = 29 years old
 Ed = 35 years old
Edd = 2 years old

Solution:
35 + 24 + 𝐸𝑑𝑑𝑦
29 = 3
87 = 59 + Eddy
Eddy = 28 years old

C
Given:

Solution:

10

The years that Raven won more games are encircled above
Therefore the answer is 4 years

A
Given:
45 superhero costumes in 10 days

15 superhero costumes in the first 4 days

11
Solution:
since 15 was already made
45 - 15 = 30 superhero costumes ← needs to make in 6 days
 Average = 30/6
Average = 5 superhero costumes per day

B
Given:
Average = 48
1st number = 24

Solution:
24 + 2𝑛𝑑
12 48 = 2
96 = 24 + 2nd
2nd = 72

Range = 72 - 24
Range = 48

C
Given:

Solution:
Total = $160 Billion
13
Russia = 32%
Russia = $160 Billion(0.32)
Russia = 51.2 Billion

Germany = 6%
Germany = 0.06(160 Billion)
Germany = 9.6 Billion

51.2
Ratio = 9.6
16
Ratio = 3
or 16 to 3

D
14
Given:
 Solution:
1000 + 1400 + 2100 + 2100
Average in 2020 = 4
Average in 2020 = 1 650 cars

B
Given:
Average first 9 = 7.5 shurikens
Least possible average = ?
15
Solution:
9(7.5) + 0
Average of 10 = 10
← Use 0 on the 10th throw to get the least possible average
Average of 10 = 6.75 shurikens

A
Given:
53, 57, 59, 64, N

Solution:
Median = 59

16 Average = 59 + 2
Average = 61

53 + 57 + 59 + 64 + 𝑁
61 = 5
305 = 233 + N
N = 72
 C
Given:
Denise’s class = 20 students
Eldrin’s class = 30 students

Solution:
Average of Denise’s = 75
17
Average of Eldrin’s = 95

75(20) + 95(30)
Average of two class = 20 + 30
1500 + 2850
Average of two class = 50
Average of two class = 87

D
Given:
75% = Sophomores
15% = Juniors
10% = Seniors

Solution:
Sophomores average = 60 empty bottles
Juniors average = 100 empty bottles
Total average = 100 empty bottles
18
Assume there are 100 students
Let S = Senior

Total Average = Total of all empty bottles / Total numbers of students

60(75) + 100(15) + 𝑆(10)
100 = 100
10000 = 6000 + 10S
10S = 4000
S = 400 empty bottles
