Quantity A: The money Emma receives when the profit is \($560\) equals: \(\frac{3}{7}\ ×\ 560=240\)
Quantity B: The money Sophia receives when the profit is \($420\) equals: \(\frac{4}{7}\ ×\ 420=240\)
The two quantities are equal.

The correct answer is \(5\sqrt{5}\)
\(V_1=\frac{4\ π}{3}\ (\frac{5}{2})^3\)
\(V_2=\frac{4\ π}{3}\ (\frac{\sqrt5 }{2})^3 → \frac{ V_1}{V_2} =5\sqrt5\)

The correct answer is \(61.28 \)
average\( = \frac{sum \ of\ terms }{number \ of\ terms}\)
The sum of the weight of all girls is: \(18 \ ×\ 60 = 1080\) kg
The sum of the weight of all boys is: \(32 \ ×\ 62 = 1984\) kg
The sum of the weight of all students is: \(1080 \ +\ 1984 = 3064\) kg
average \(= \frac{3064 }{50} = 61.28\)

10- Choice D is correct

The corrcet answer is \(300\%\)
Write the equation and solve for B: \(0.60\) A \(= 0.20\) B, divide both sides by \(0.20\), then you will have 
\(\frac{0.60}{0.20}\) A = B, therefore: B \(= 3\) A, and B is \(3\) times of A or it’s \(300\%\) of A.

11- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(2\)
\((x\ -\ 2)^3=27→x\ -\ 2=3→x=5

\(γ\ +\ α=420\), and \(γ=\frac{2}{5}\ α\)
Replace \(γ\) by \(\frac{2}{5} \ α\) in the first equation.
\(γ\ +\ α=420→\frac{2}{5} α\ +\ α=420→\frac{7}{5} \ α=420→\)multiply both sides by \(\frac{5}{7}\)
\((\frac{5}{7})\ \frac{7}{5} α=420\ ×\ (\frac{5}{7})→α=\frac{420\ ×\ 5}{7}=300\)
\(α=300→γ=\frac{2}{5} α→γ=\frac{2}{5}\ ×\ 300=120\)

Simply change the fractions to decimals.
\(\frac{4}{5}=0.80\)
\(\frac{6}{7}=0.857…\)
\(\frac{5}{6}=0.8333…\)
As you can see, \(x\) lies between \(0.80\) and \(0.857…\) and it can be \(0.81\) or \(0.84\).
The first one is less than \(0.833…\) and the second one is greater than \(0.833…\)
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

25- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is Quantity A is greater.
Simplify quantity B.
Quantity B: \((\frac{x}{6})^6=\frac{x^6}{6^6}\)
Since, the two quantities have the same numerator \((x^6)\) and the denominator in quantity B is bigger \((6^6>6)\), then the quantity A is greater.

Quantity B \(= [6 \ ×\ (–\ 24) \ +\ 8] \ –\ (–\ 4)\ +\ [4 \ ×\ 5] \ ÷\ 2 = [–\ 144 \ +\ 8] \ –\ (–\ 4) \ +\ [20] \ ÷\ 2 =\)
\([–\ 144 \ +\ 8] \ –\ (–\ 4) \ +\ 10 = [–\ 136] \ –\ (–\ 4) \ +\ 10 = [–\ 136] \ +\ 4 \ +\ 10 = –\ 122\)

The correct answer is I and III only.
I. \(|a|<1→-\ 1<a<1\)
Multiply all sides by b. Since,\( b>0→-\ b<b\ a<b\)
II. Since, \(-\ 1<a<1\),and \(a<0→-\ a>a^2>a\) (plug in \(\frac{-\ 1}{2}\), and check!)
III. \(-\ 1<a<1\),multiply all sides by 2,then: \(-\ 2<2a<2\),subtract 3 from all sides,the:
\(-\ 2\ -\ 3<2\ a\ -\ 3<2\ -\ 3→-\ 5<2\ a\ -\ 3<-\ 1\)

28- Choice C is correct

The correct answer is \(12\)
The ratio of boy to girls is \(4:7\). Therefore, there are \(4\) boys out of \(11\) students.
To find the answer, first divide the total number of students by \(11\), then multiply the result by \(4\).
\(44 \ ÷\ 11 = 4 ⇒ 4 \ ×\ 4 = 16\)
There are \(16\) boys and \(28\ (44 \ –\ 16)\) girls. So, \(12\) more boys should be enrolled to make the ratio \(1:1\)

29- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(45\)
First, find the number.
Let \(x\) be the number. Write the equation and solve for \(x\).
\(150 \%\) of a number is \(75\), then:
\(1.5\ ×\ x=75 ⇒ x=75\ ÷\ 1.5=50\)
\(90 \%\) of \(50\) is:
\(0.9 \ ×\ 50 = 45\)

30- Choice D is correct

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

31- Choice C is correct

The correct answer is \(72\)
length of the rectangle is:\( \frac{5}{4}\ ×\ 16=20\)
perimeter of rectangle is: \(2\ ×\ (20\ +\ 16)=72\)

32- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(0.88\) D
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

33- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(24\)
Let \(x\) be the length of AB, then:
\(15=\frac{x\ ×\ 5}{2}→x=6\)
The length of AC \(=\sqrt{6^2\ +\ 8^2 }=\sqrt{100}=10\)
The perimeter of ∆ABC\(=6\ +\ 8\ +\ 10=24\)

34- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(𝑚=0, y\ −\)intercept \(=4\)
Since line \(l\) is parallel to \(x\)-axis, therefore the slope of \(l\) is equal to \(0\) and the value of \(y\) is the same as the value of \(y\) in the point \((-\ 3, 4)\). Therefore, \(y\)-intercept is \(4\).

35- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is January and February
First find the number of pants sold in each month.
A. January: \(110\), February: \(88\), March: \(90\), April: \(70\), May: \(85\), June: \(65\)
Check each option provided.
January and February, 
\((\frac{110 \ - \ 88}{110}) \ × \ 100=\frac{22}{110} \ × \ 100=20\%\)
B. February and March, there is an increase from February to March.
C. March and April
\((\frac{90 \ - \ 70}{90}) \ × \ 100=\frac{20}{90} \ × \ 100=22.22\%\)
D. April and May: there is an increase from April to May
May and June
\((\frac{85 \ - \ 65}{85}) \ × \ 100=\frac{20}{85} \ × \ 100=23.53\%\)

36- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(147.5, 30\)
Let’s order number of shirts sold per month:
\(130,140,145,150,160,170\)
median is: \(\frac{145 \ + \ 150}{2}=147.5\)
Let’s list the number of shoes sold per month:
\(20,25,25,35,35,40\)
mean is: \(\frac{20 \ + \ 25 \ + \ 25 \ + \ 35 \ + \ 35 \ + \ 40}{6}=\frac{180}{6}=30\)

37- Choice E is correct

The correct answer is \(50\)
Let \(x\) be the number of shoes need to be added in April. Then:
\(\frac{70}{20 \ + \ x}=(\frac{5}{17}) \ (\frac{85}{25}) →\frac{70}{20 \ + \ x}=\frac{425}{425}=1→\)
\(70=20 \ + \ x→x=50\)

38- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(-\ 12\)
\(|x\ -\ 2\ x\ -\ 5\ +\ 7|=4→
|-\ x\ +\ 2|=4 →-\ x\ +\ 2=4\) or\(-\ x\ +\ 2=-\ 4\)
\(→x=-\ 2\) or \(x=6\)
The product of all possible values of \(x = (-\ 2)\ ×\ 6=-\ 12 \)

39- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(40\)
The area of ∆BED is \(16\), then: \(\frac{4\ ×\ AB}{2}=16→4\ ×\ AB=32→AB=8\)
The area of ∆BDF is \(18\), then: \(\frac{3\ ×\ BC}{2}=18→3\ ×\ BC=36→BC=12\)
The perimeter of the rectangle is \(= 2\ ×\ (8\ +\ 12)=40\)

40- Choice E is correct

The correct answer is \(4\sqrt{3}\)
Based on triangle similarity theorem:
\(\frac{a}{a\ +\ b}=\frac{c}{3}→c=\frac{3\ a}{a\ +\ b}=\frac{3\sqrt3}{3\sqrt3}=1→\) 
area of shaded region is:
\((\frac{c\ +\ 3}{2})\ (b)=\frac{4}{2}\ ×\ 2\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}\)
