<div>==Problem==<br />
The first AMC <math>8</math> was given in <math>1985</math> and it has been given annually since that time. Samantha turned <math>12</math> years old the year that she took the seventh AMC <math>8</math>. In what year was Samantha born?<br />
<br />
<math>\textbf{(A) }1979\qquad\textbf{(B) }1980\qquad\textbf{(C) }1981\qquad\textbf{(D) }1982\qquad \textbf{(E) }1983</math><br />
<br />
==Solution==<br />
The seventh AMC 8 would have been given in 1991. If Samantha was 12 then, that means she was born 12 years ago, so she was born in 1991-12= <math>\boxed{(\text{A})1979.}</math><br />
