1- D
Solve for $$x$$.
$$\sqrt{6x}=\sqrt{y}$$
Square both sides of the equation:
$$(\sqrt{6x})^2=(\sqrt{y})^2$$
$$6x=y$$
$$x=\frac{y}{6}$$

2- B
average $$=\frac{sum \space of \space terms}{number \space of \space terms}$$
The sum of the weight of all girls is: $$18 × 60 = 1080$$ kg
The sum of the weight of all boys is: $$32 × 62 = 1984$$ kg
The sum of the weight of all students is: 1080 + 1984 = 3064 kg
average $$=\frac{3064 }{50}= 61.28$$

3- E
$$y=(-3x^3)^2=(-3)^2 (x^3)^2=9x^6$$

4- C
Plug in the value of $$x$$ and $$y$$.
$$x=3$$ and $$y=-2$$
$$5(x-2y)+(2-x)^2=5(3-2(-2))+(2-3)^2=5(3+4)+(-1)^2 = 35+1=36$$

5- B
The question is this: 530.40 is what percent of 624?
Use percent formula:
part $$=\frac{percent}{100} ×$$ whole
$$530.40 =\frac{percent}{100} × 624 ⇒ 530.40 = \frac{percent ×624}{100} ⇒53040 = percent ×624 ⇒$$
percent $$= \frac{53040}{624}= 85$$
530.40 is $$85\%$$ of 624. Therefore, the discount is: $$100\% – 85\% = 15\%$$

6- A
$$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{3x – 1}{x^2-x}$$

7- A
The equation of a line is $$y=mx+b$$, where $$m$$is the slope and $$b$$ is the $$y$$-intercept.
First find the slope:
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{15-(-5)}{8-3}= \frac{20}{5}=4$$
Then, we have: $$y=4x+b$$
Choose one point and plug in the values of $$x$$ and $$y$$ in the equation to solve for b.
Let’s choose the point $$(3, -5)$$
$$y=4x+b→-5=4(3)+b→-5=12+b→b=-17$$
The equation of the line is: $$y=4x-17$$

8- B
Use simple interest formula:
$$I=prt$$
(I = interest, p = principal, r = rate, t = time)
$$I=(12000)(0.035)(2)=840$$

9- E
The number of visiting fans:
$$\frac{2×25000}{5}=10,000$$

10- E
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
Let x be the smallest angle in the quadrilateral. Then the angles are:
$$x,2x,2x,5x$$
$$x+2x+2x+5x=360→10x=360→x=36$$
The angles in the quadrilateral are: $$36^\circ, 72^\circ, 72^\circ$$, and $$180^\circ$$

11- C
The formula for the area of a circle is:
$$A=πr^2$$
Using 64 for the area of the circle we have:
$$64=πr^2$$
Let’s solve for the radius (r).
$$\frac{64}{π}=r^2→r=\sqrt{\frac{64}{π}}= \frac{8}{\sqrt{π}}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{π}}×\frac{\sqrt{π}}{\sqrt{π}}= \frac{8\sqrt{π}}{\sqrt{π}}$$

12- C
Length of the rectangle is: $$\frac{5}{4})×16=20$$
perimeter of rectangle is: $$2×(20+16)=72$$

13- E
The angle $$x$$ and 35 are complementary angles. Therefore:
$$x+35=180$$
$$180^\circ-35^\circ=145^\circ$$

14- A
Three times of 24,000 is 72,000. One sixth of them cancelled their tickets.
One sixth of 72,000 equals $$12,000 (\frac{1}{6} × 72000 = 12000)$$.
$$60,000 (72000 – 12000 = 60000)$$ fans are attending this week

15- A
sin A$$=\frac{1}{3}$$
Since sin $$θ=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$$
we have the following right triangle. Then:
$$c=\sqrt{(3^2-1^2 )}=\sqrt{(9-1)}=\sqrt{8}$$
cos A$$=\frac{\sqrt{8}}{3}$$

16- D
$$670000=6.7×10^5$$

17- C
the population is increased by $$15\%$$ and $$20\%. 15\%$$ increase changes the population to $$115\%$$ of original population.
For the second increase, multiply the result by $$120\%$$.
$$(1.15) × (1.20) = 1.38 = 138\%$$
38 percent of the population is increased after two years.

18- A
$$(x^6)^{\frac{5}{8}}$$
$$= x^{6 × \frac{5}{8}}= x^{\frac{30}{8}}=x^{\frac{15}{4}}$$

19- A
The relationship among all sides of the right triangle $$30^\circ-60^\circ- 90^\circ$$ is provided in the following triangle:
$$\img {https://appmanager.effortlessmath.com/public/images/questions/test22222.22222.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.JPG }$$
Sine of $$30^\circ$$ equals to: $$\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\frac{x}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}$$

20- D
Let $$x$$ be the length of AB, then:
$$15=\frac{x×5}{2}→x=6$$
The length of AC =(\sqrt{(6^2+8^2 )}=\sqrt{100}=10)
The perimeter of ∆ABC=(6+8+10=24)
