$30
$40
$45
$42
Explanation20% of $50 is $10. Subtracting $10 from $50 results in $40.
4
5
6
7
ExplanationSubtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.
60 cm²
72 cm²
156 cm²
169 cm²
ExplanationUsing Pythagorean theorem, the width is sqrt(13^2 - 12^2) = sqrt(169 - 144) = 5. Area = 12 * 5 = 60.

64
ExplanationExponents rule: 2^(5+3-4) = 2^4 = 16.
10 days
12 days
15 days
18 days
ExplanationTotal man-days = 15 * 20 = 300. Days for 25 workers = 300 / 25 = 12.
1/6
1/12
7/36
1/2
ExplanationPossible combinations for 7 are (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1). Total 6/36 = 1/6.
$960
$1000
$1040
$1200
ExplanationLet original be x. 0.8x = 800, so x = 1000.

10
Explanationlog2(32) = 5 and log3(81) = 4. 5 + 4 = 9.
90
100

ExplanationThe sum of the first n odd integers is n^2. 10^2 = 100.
18
20
22
25
ExplanationTotal sum = 5 * 20 = 100. New sum = 90. New average = 90/4 = 22.5.
-0.5
0.5
-2
2
ExplanationConvert to y = mx + c. 4y = -2x + 8 => y = -0.5x + 2.
3
6
9
81
Explanation(x-3)(x+3) = 0, so x can be 3 or -3.
70 km/h
75 km/h
80 km/h
85 km/h
ExplanationTotal distance = (60*2) + (90*1) = 210 km. Total time = 3 hours. 210 / 3 = 70.
$96
$100
$104
$144
ExplanationCost price + 20% of Cost price = 120. Thus, 1.2 * CP = 120, so CP = 100.
11
15
19
3
ExplanationExpanding the equation: 3x - 12 = 2x + 7. Subtracting 2x from both sides gives x - 12 = 7. Adding 12 to both sides gives x = 19.
120 km
140 km
150 km
180 km
ExplanationDistance is calculated as speed multiplied by time. 60 * 2.5 = 150.
45
57
67
77
Explanation2^5 = 32 and 5^2 = 25. 32 + 25 = 57.
2
4
8
16
ExplanationThe formula for the area of a circle is πr². If πr² = 16π, then r² = 16, so r = 4.
x - 3
x + 3
x + 9
x - 9
Explanationx^2 - 9 is a difference of squares: (x - 3)(x + 3). Dividing by (x - 3) leaves (x + 3).
$96
$100
$104
$110
ExplanationIf the discount is 20%, the price $80 represents 80% of the original. 80 / 0.8 = 100.
18

Explanation2y = 12, therefore y = 6.
70
80
90
100
ExplanationThe sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180. 180 - (40 + 60) = 80.
28
30
32
34
ExplanationThe differences between terms are +4, +6, +8. The next difference is +10. 20 + 10 = 30.
