Since distance = rate x time, your total distance ts 3 Le = 4x Gt lox z= 3+5=8 miles. The distance is less than 4 + 10 = 14 miles, so (D) and (E) can be easily eliminated. The difference is .5% of $20 = .005 x $20 = $.10. In addition to the 100 numbers from 200-299, there are 20 numbers ending in 2 (e.g., 112, 342) and 20 numbers with a ten's digit of 2 (e.g., 127, 325). But the numbers 122 and 322 are counted twice in this process, so there are a total of 100 + 20+ 20-2 = 138, { Since the ratio is 2:3, 2 of the students are boys and 2 of them are girls. Thus there are t more girls than boys and 1 x30 = 5 To get an average of 85 on 7 tests, you needed a total of 7x 85 = 595 points. After 6 tests, you had a total of 6 x 84 = 504 points. Thus you needed 595 - 504 = 91 points on the seventh test. oR 6(84) +n _ 7 If n was your score on the seventh test, then so n= 91, OR To raise your average by one point, you needed seven additional points on the seventh test, so your score was 84 + 7 = 91.18. 19. 20. al. 22.

Such a card cannot have a consonant or an even number on either side. Thus the only card which could prove Jane wrong is the one with a "3" on one side. The other side would have to be a vowel. oR The easiest way for Mary to show Jane was wrong is for her to turn over a card showing a vowel, but there is no such card. But if Jane were correct, then so is the contrapositive: "If an odd number is on one side of a card, then a consonant {s on the other side." Thus, Mary showed Jane was wrong by turning over the card marked with a 3.
