Problem 1

The median of the list $n, n + 3, n + 4, n + 5, n + 6, n + 8, n + 10, n + 12, n + 15$ is $10$. What is the mean?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 4 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 6 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 7 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 10 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 11$

Solution

Problem 2

A number $x$ is $2$ more than the product of its reciprocal and its additive inverse. In which interval does the number lie?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ -4\leq x\leq -2 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ -2<x\leq 0 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 0<x\leq 2$

$\mathrm{(D)}\ 2<x\leq 4 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 4<x\leq 6$

Solution

Problem 3

The sum of two numbers is $S$. Suppose $3$ is added to each number and then each of the resulting numbers is doubled. What is the sum of the final two numbers?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 2S+3 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 3S+2 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 3S+6 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 2S+6 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 2S+12$

Solution

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 3 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 2 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 5 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 6 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 7$

Solution

Problem 6

Let $P(n)$ and $S(n)$ denote the product and the sum, respectively, of the digits of the integer $n$. For example, $P(23) = 6$ and $S(23) = 5$. Suppose $N$ is a two-digit number such that $N = P(N)+S(N)$. What is the units digit of $N$?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 2 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 3 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 6 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 8 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 9$

Solution

Problem 7

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 0.0002 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 0.002 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 0.02 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 0.2 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 2$

Solution

Problem 8

Wanda, Darren, Beatrice, and Chi are tutors in the school math lab. Their schedule is as follows: Darren works every third school day, Wanda works every fourth school day, Beatrice works every sixth school day, and Chi works every seventh school day. Today they are all working in the math lab. In how many school days from today will they next be together tutoring in the lab?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 42 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 84 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 126 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 178 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 252$

Solution

Problem 9

The state income tax where Kristin lives is levied at the rate of $p\%$ of the first $$$28000$ of annual income plus $(p + 2)\%$ of any amount above $$$28000$. Kristin noticed that the state income tax she paid amounted to $(p + 0.25)\%$ of her annual income. What was her annual income?

$\textbf{(A) }$28000\qquad\textbf{(B) }\$32000\qquad\textbf{(C) }$35000\qquad\textbf{(D) }\$42,000\qquad\textbf{(E) }$56000 $
