The following problem is from both the 2015 AMC 12A #1 and 2015 AMC 10A #1, so both problems redirect to this page.

What is the value of $(2^0-1+5^2-0)^{-1}\times5?$

$\textbf{(A)}\ -125\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -120\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{5}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{5}{24}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 25$

$(2^0-1+5^2-0)^{-1}\times5 = (1-1+25-0)^{-1} \times 5 = 25^{-1} \times 5 = \frac{1}{25} \times 5 = \boxed{\textbf{(C) } \, \frac{1}{5}}$ .

Bash it out.
