1- D
Five years ago, Amy was three times as old as Mike. Mike is 10 years now. Therefore, 5 years ago Mike was 5 years.
Five years ago, Amy was: $$A=3×5=15$$
Now Amy is 20 years old: $$15 + 5 = 20$$

2- B
Two triangles $$∆BAE$$ and $$∆BCD$$ are similar. Then:
$$\frac{AE}{CD}=\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{x}{12}$$
$$→48-4x=6x→10x=48→x=4.8$$

3- D
$$\frac{2}{5}×25=\frac{50}{5}=10$$

4- D
The slop of line A is:
$$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-2}{4-3}=1$$
Parallel lines have the same slope and only choice $$D (y=x)$$ has slope of 1.

5- C
$$x$$ is directly proportional to the square of $$y$$. Then:
$$x=cy^2$$
$$12=c(2)^2→12=4c→c=\frac{12}{4}=3$$
The relationship between $$x$$ and $$y$$ is:
$$x=3y^2$$
$$x=75$$
$$75=3y^2→y^2=\frac{75}{3}=25→y=5$$

6- D
he amount of money that jack earns for one hour: $$\frac{616}{44}=14$$
Number of additional hours that he work to make enough money is: $$\frac{826-616}{1.5×14}=10$$
Number of total hours is: $$44+10=54$$

7- C
Let’s find the mean (average), mode and median of the number of cities for each type of pollution.
Number of cities for each type of pollution: $$6, 3, 4, 9, 8$$
average$$= \frac{sum \space of \space terms}{number \space of \space terms}=\frac{6+3+4+9+8}{5}=6$$
Median is the number in the middle. To find median, first list numbers in order from smallest to largest.
$$3, 4, 6, 8, 9$$
Median of the data is 6.
Mode is the number which appears most often in a set of numbers. Therefore, there is no mode in the set of numbers.
$$Median = Mean, then, a=b$$

8- A
Percent of cities in the type of pollution A: $$\frac{6}{10} × 100=60\%$$
Percent of cities in the type of pollution C: $$\frac{4}{10} × 100 = 40\%$$
Percent of cities in the type of pollution E: $$\frac{9}{10}× 100 = 90\%$$

9- A
Let the number of cities should be added to type of pollutions $$B$$ be $$x$$. Then:
$$\frac{x + 3}{8}=0.625→x+3=8×0.625→x+3=5→x=2$$

10- A
$$AB=12$$ And $$AC=5$$
$$BC=\sqrt{(12^2+5^2 )} = \sqrt{(144+25)} = \sqrt{169}=13$$
$$Perimeter =5+12+13=30$$
$$Area =\frac{5×12}{2}=5×6=30$$
In this case, the ratio of the perimeter of the triangle to its area is:
$$\frac{30}{30}= 1$$
If the sides $$AB$$ and $$AC$$ become twice longer, then:
$$AB=24$$ And $$AC=10$$
$$BC=\sqrt{(24^2+10^2 )} = \sqrt{(576+100)} = \sqrt{676} = 26$$
Perimeter $$=26+24+10=60$$
$$Area =\frac{10×24}{2}=10×12=120$$
In this case the ratio of the perimeter of the triangle to its area is:
$$\frac{60}{120}=\frac{1}{2}$$
