1- D
If 17 balls are removed from the bag at random, there will be one ball in the bag. The probability of choosing a brown ball is 1 out of 18. Therefore, the probability of not choosing a brown ball is 17 out of 18 and the probability of having not a brown ball after removing 17 balls is the same.

2- C
Let $$x$$ be the smallest number. Then, these are the numbers: $$x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4$$
average$$=\frac{sum \ of \ terms }{number \ of \ terms}⇒36=\frac{x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)}{5}⇒36=\frac{5x+10}{5 }⇒$$
$$180=5x+10 ⇒170= 5x⇒x=34$$

3- C
Use this formula: Percent of Change: $$\frac{New \ Value-Old \ Value}{Old \ Value}×100\%$$ .
$$\frac{18,200-28,000}{28,000}×100\%=-35\%$$. The negative sign means that the price decreased

4- D
If the length of the box is 36, then the width of the box is one-third of it, 12, and the height of the box is 4 (one-third of the width). The volume of the box is: $$V=lwh=(36)(12)(4)=1,728$$

5- A
Write a proportion and solve for the missing number. $$\frac{32}{12}=\frac{6}{x}→32x=6×12=72$$
$$32x=72→x=\frac{72}{32}=2.25$$

6- C
Let $$x$$ be the number. Write the equation and solve for $$x$$. $$(28-x)÷x= 3$$
Multiply both sides by $$x. (28-x)= 3x$$, then add $$x$$ both sides. $$28=4x$$, now divide both sides by $$4. x=7$$

7- B
The sum of supplement angles is 180. Let $$x$$ be that angle. Therefore, $$x+9x=180$$
$$10x=180$$, divide both sides by $$10: x=18$$

8- C
The average speed of john is: 150÷ 6=25, The average speed of Alice is: 140÷4=35
Write the ratio and simplify. 25: 35 ⇒ 5∶7

9- D
The union of A and B is: $$A∪B$$={1,2,3,4,5,6,11,15}
The intersection of $$(A∪B)$$ and C is: $$(A∪B)∩C={5,11}$$

10- C
Adding 6 to each side of the inequality $$4n – 3 ≥ 1$$ yields the inequality $$4n + 3 ≥ 7$$. Therefore, the least possible value of $$4n + 3$$ is 7.
