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.

21.D. 25 mm. If 2,000,000 nanometers (nm) is equal to 2 millimeters (mm), then 25,000,000 nm must be equal to 25 millimeters (mm) as the relationship is one-to-one, 1 nm is equal to 1 mm.

22.B. False. "I" is not a consonant.

23.C = 1. One fifth (1 / 5) of 200 = 0.2 x 200 = 40. One tenth (1 / 10) of 40 = 0.1 x 40 = 4. One quarter (1 / 4) of 4 = 0.25 x 4 = 1.

24.D. East. The first spin ends facing east. The second spin does a 360 degree turn twice, which brings you back facing east.

25.D. The figure is flipped horizontally.

26.B. False. The order listed is from tallest to shortest.

27.E. Egypt.

28.C. If you chose A, you may not have seen the overlap pattern. The three circles on the right are below the biggest, middle circle, whereas the circles on the left are above.

29.D. All three methods work.

A - Fill the 3 gallon jug. Dump half of 3. (This can be accomplished by pouring until the water line goes diagonally from the bottom edge of the open end of the bucket to the top edge of the closed end). Now you have 1.5 gallons in 3. Fill 5. Get half of 5 as done above. Now have 2.5 in 5. Pour the 1.5 from 3 into 5.

B - Fill the 3 gallon jug. Pour it into the 5 gallon jug twice. Once the jug fills to 5 gallons, don't let it overflow and then you have 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug. Dump the water out of the 5 gallon jug. Pour the 1 gallon left from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. Refill the 3 gallon jug and pour the 3 gallons into the 5 gallon jug making 4 gallons.

C - Fill the 5 gallon jug. Pour all but 2 gallons into the 3 gallon jug. Empty the 3 gallon jug. Put the 2 remaining gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug. Fill 5. Pour 1 gallon from the 5 gallon jug by filling the 3 gallon jug. The 5 gallon jug now contains 4 gallons.

30.D. The figure is reversed. The second and last figures are mirror images of the first and third figures. The slight angle is meaningless in this case.

31.B. 11. The third row follows the first row's incremental sequence (subtract 5), not the second row's sequence (add 4).

32.C. 7. Subtract the sum of the numbers to the right and left of the diamond from the sum of the numbers above and below the diamond to find the number in the middle.
