1- C
$$3x+2y=11$$. Plug in the values of $$x$$ and $$y$$ from choices provided. Then:
☐A. $$(-1,3) \ \ \ 3x+2y=11→3(-1)+2(3)=11→-3+6=11$$ NOT true!
☐B. $$(2,3) \ \ \ 3x+2y=11→3(2)+2(3)=11→6+6=11$$ NOT true!
☐C. $$(-1,7) \ \ \ 3x+2y=11→3(-1)+2(7)=11→-3+14=11$$ Bingo!
☐D. $$(0,2) \ \ \ 3x+2y=11→3(0)+2(2)=11→0+4=11$$ Nope!

2- C
Let $$x$$ be the number. Write the equation and solve for $$x$$.
$$\frac{2}{3}×9= \frac{2}{5 } . x ⇒ \frac{2×9}{3}= \frac{2x}{5}$$ , use cross multiplication to solve for $$x$$.
$$5×18=2x×3 ⇒90=6x ⇒ x=15$$

3- B
To find the discount, multiply the number by ($$100\%-$$rate of discount).
Therefore, for the first discount we get: $$(D) (100\%-15\%) = (D) (0.85) = 0.85 D$$
For increase of $$10\%: (0.85 D) (100\%+10\%)=(0.85 D) (1.10)=0.93D =93\%$$ of D

4- B
Use the formula for Percent of Change $$\frac{New \ Value-Old \ Value}{Old \ Value}×100\%$$
$$\frac{28-45}{45}×100\%=-37.7\%$$ (Negative sign here means that the new price is less than old price).

5- D
Some of prime numbers are: $$2,3,5,7,11,13$$. Find the product of two consecutive prime numbers: $$2×3=6$$ (not in the options),$$3×5=15$$ (not in the options),$$5×7=35$$ (bingo!),
$$7×11=77$$ (not in the options)

6- C
Let’s compare each fraction:$$\frac{1}{7} < \frac{3}{8} < \frac{5}{11} < \frac{5}{7}$$. Only choice C provides the right order.

7- B
Use the information provided in the question to draw the shape.
Use Pythagorean Theorem: $$a^2+ b^2=c^2$$
$$120^2+50^2=c^2 ⇒ 14400+2500= c^2 ⇒ 16900=c^2 ⇒ c=130$$

8- C
The ratio of boy to girls is $$4:7$$. Therefore, there are $$4$$ boys out of $$11$$ students. To find the answer, first divide the total number of students by $$11$$, then multiply the result by $$4. 55÷11=5 ⇒ 4×5=20$$. There are $$20$$ boys and $$35 (55-20)$$girls. So, $$15$$ more boys should be enrolled to make the ratio $$1:1$$

9- B
The question is this: $$530.20$$ is what percent of $$631$$? Use percent formula:
part$$=\frac{percent}{100}×$$whole. $$530.20=\frac{percent}{100}×631 ⇒ 530.20= \frac{percent ×631}{100} ⇒ 53020 =$$percent $$×631 ⇒$$ percent$$=\frac{53020}{631}=84.02≅84$$ .
$$530.20$$ is $$84\%$$ of $$631$$. Therefore, the discount is: $$100\%-84\%=16\%$$

10- B
If the score of Mia was $$40$$, therefore the score of Ava is $$20$$. Since, the score of Emma was half as that of Ava, therefore, the score of Emma is $$10$$.
