## Answers:

1- C
Set of number that are not composite between 1 and $$25: A= {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23}$$
$$Probability =\frac{number \space of \space desired \space outcomes}{number \space of \space total \space outcomes}=\frac{9}{25}$$

2- D
Check each option provided:
A.$$\frac{(4+5+8+11+12)}{5}=\frac{40}{5}=8$$
B. $$\frac{(1+5+8+11+12)}{5}=\frac{37}{5}=7.4$$
C. $$\frac{(1+4+8+11+12)}{5}=\frac{36}{5}=7.2$$
D. $$\frac{1+4+5+8+12}{5}=\frac{30}{5}=6$$
E. $$\frac{1+4+5+8+11}{5}=\frac{29}{5}=5.8$$

3- C
The weight of 12.2 meters of this rope is: $$12.2 × 600 g = 7320$$ g
$$1 kg =$$g, therefore, 7320 g $$÷ 1000 = 7.32$$ kg

4- E
$$y = 4ab + 3b^3$$
Plug in the values of a and b in the equation: $$a = 2$$ and $$b = 3$$
$$y = 4 (2) (3) + 3 (3)3 = 24 + 3(27) = 24 + 81 = 105$$

5- D
$$(g – f)(x) = g(x) – f(x) = (– x^2 – 1 – 2x) – (5 + x) – x^2 – 1 – 2x – 5 – x = – x^2 – 3x – 6$$

6- B
To find the discount, multiply the number by $$(100\% –$$ rate of discount).
Therefore, for the first discount we get: (D) $$(100\% – 20%) =$$ (D) $$(0.80) = 0.80$$ D
For increase of $$10 \%: (0.85 D) (100% + 10%) = (0.85 D) (1.10) = 0.88 D = 88\%$$ of D

7- B
1000 times the number is 40.5. Let x be the number, then:
$$1000x=40.5$$
$$x =\frac{40.5}{1000}=0.0405$$

8- B
Let’s review the options provided.
A. 4. In 4 years, David will be 46 and Ava will be 10. 46 is not 4 times 10.
B. 6. In 6 years, David will be 48 and Ava will be 12. 48 is 4 times 12!
C. 8. In 8 years, David will be 80 and Ava will be 14. 50 is not 4 times 14.
D. 10. In 10 years, David will be 52 and Ava will be 16. 52 is not 4 times 16.
E. 14. In 14 years, David will be 56 and Ava will be 20. 56 is not 4 times 20.

9- C
The area of the floor is: $$6 cm × 24 cm = 144 cm$$
The number is tiles needed $$= 144 ÷ 8 = 18$$

10- B
Write the numbers in order:
4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 15, 18
Since we have 7 numbers (7 is odd), then the median is the number in the middle, which is 9.
