Answers & Explanations
101. A: The sum of the two given angles is 140°. The measure of the third angle is equal to the difference of 180° and 140°, or 40°.
102. E: The amount he will need for 3 desserts is equal to the product of 2 1/2 and 3, or 7 1/2.
103. C: Application of the 50% discount gives the expression, 320 - 0.50(320), which equals 160. Application of the additional 20% discount to this amount, gives the expression, 160 - 0.20(160), which equals 128. Thus, the sale price of the desk was $128.
104. A: 25% is larger than any of the percentages given for the other destinations, thus the beach is the most common destination.
105. B: The number of students going to the mountains is equal to the product of 0.12 and 500, which equals 60.
106. E: The following proportion may be written: (1/4)/1=6/x. Solving for x gives x = 24. Thus, there are 24 milliliters in 6 teaspoons.
107. D: The correct graph should show one ray, with a closed point on the integer, -2, which points to the left, and another ray, with a closed point on the integer, 3, which points to the right.
108. 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.
109. 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).
110. 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.
111. 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.
112. C: The average may be written as (365+7+24)/3, which equals 132.
113. A: Moving the decimal 5 places to the right gives 175,000.
114. C: The average may be written as (0.03(2800+3200+3600))/3, which equals 96.
115. 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.
