1- D
Write the equation and solve for $$B$$: $$0.60 A=0.20 B$$, divide both sides by $$0.20$$, then:
$$\frac{0.60}{0.20 } A=B$$, therefore: $$B=3A$$, and B is $$3$$ times of A or it’s $$300\%$$ of A.

2- B
Use this formula: Percent of Change $$\frac{New \ Value-Old \ Value}{Old \ Value}×100\%$$
$$\frac{15000-20000}{20000}×100\%=-25\%$$ and$$\frac{11200-15000}{15000}×100\%=-25\%$$

3- D
If the length of the box is $$45$$, then the width of the box is one-third of it, $$15$$, and the height of the box is $$5$$ (one-third of the width). The volume of the box is:
$$V=lwh =(45)(15)(5)=3375$$

4- D
To find the number of possible outfit combinations, multiply the number of options for each factor: $$6×3×5=90$$

5- C
Use simple interest formula: $$I=prt$$($$I=$$interest,$$p=$$principal,$$r=$$rate,$$t=$$time)
$$I=(8,000)(0.045)(5)=1,800$$

6- B
$$6^4=6×6×6×6=1,296$$

7- C
$$x=\frac{15}{20}=0.75=75\%$$

8- C
The perimeter of the trapezoid is $$56$$. Therefore, the missing side (height) is $$=56-18-12-14=12$$. Area of a trapezoid: $$A=\frac{1}{2 } h (b_{1}+b_{2})=\frac{1}{2}(12)(12+14)=156$$

9- C
Add the first $$5$$ numbers. $$40+45+50+35+55=225$$
To find the distance traveled in the next $$5$$ hours, multiply the average by several hours.
Distance$$=$$Average$$×$$Rate $$= 65×5 =325$$
Add both numbers. $$325+225=550$$

10- C
Use distance formula: Distance $$=$$Rate$$×$$time $$⇒ 420=65×T$$, divide both sides by $$65. 420÷65=T ⇒ T=6.4$$ hours. Change hours to minutes for the decimal part. $$0.4$$ hours $$=0.4×60 =24$$ minutes.
