Answers Key - Free and Printable SAT test Sample 116-130


116. E: The following proportion may be written: (1/4)/20=(3 1/2)/x, which simplifies to 1/4 x=70, where x = 280. Thus, there are actually 280 miles between the two cities.

117. D: The new length may be represented by the expression, L + 2, while the new width may be represented by the expression, W + 2. Thus, the area is equal to the product of the two dimensions, or (L + 2)(W + 2).

118. D: Removal of 9 pair will ensure that she has one of each color because all 3 colors will be represented. Removal of 7 pair may include only pairs of black and white socks, while not including a red pair.

119. C: The fractions in Choice C may be converted to the following decimals: 0.25, 0.68, 0.6875, 0.75, which are indeed in order from least to greatest.

120. C: The average may be written as (365+7+24)/3, which equals 132.

121. A: Moving the decimal 5 places to the right gives 175,000.

122. C: The average may be written as (0.03(2800+3200+3600))/3, which equals 96.

123. E: The following proportion may be written: (1/3)/15=(3 2/3)/x, which simplifies to 1/3 x=165/3, where x = 165. Thus, there are actually 165 miles between the two cities.

124. A: Simple interest may be calculated using the formula, I = Prt, where P represents the principal amount, r represents the rate, and t represents the length of time. Substituting 200 for I, 4000 for P, and 0.05 for r gives 200 = (4000)(0.05)t. Thus, t = 1. It will take him 1 year to earn $200 in simple interest.

125. D: The following equation may be solved for x: 650 = 0.012x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.012 gives x = 54,166.67. Thus, the assessed value of his property is $54,166.67.

126. B: The problem may be modeled with the equation, 23.80 = x - 0.15x, which simplifies to 23.80 = 0.85x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.85 gives x = 28. So, the regular price of the lamp is $28.

127. C: The expression, 750 - 0.15(750), may be used to represent the price, after the first discount. This amount is $637.50. Taking an additional 10% off of the discounted price is represented by the expression, 637.50 - 0.10(637.50), which equals 573.75. Thus, the price after both discounts is $573.75.

128. A: The problem may be modeled and solved, using the equation, 0.85x = 136. Solving for x gives x = 160.

129. B: The following proportion may be written: 150/20=x/2. Solving for x gives x = 15. Thus, the height of the tree is 15 feet.

130. C: Dividing a positive number by a negative number gives a negative quotient. For example, 4/(-2)=-2.
