Problem 1

Find the sum of all positive multiples of $3$ that are factors of $27.$

Problem 2

Three distinct even positive integers are chosen between $1$ and $100,$ inclusive. What is the largest possible average of these three integers?

Solution

Problem 3

Solution

Problem 4

If $\frac{x+2}{6}$ is its own reciprocal, find the product of all possible values of $x.$

Solution

Problem 5

Let $n!=n \cdot (n-1) \cdot (n-2) \cdots 2 \cdot 1$ for all positive integers $n$ . Find the value of $x$ that satisfies $\frac{5!x}{2022!}=\frac{20}{2021!}.$

Solution

Problem 6

In quadrilateral $ABCD$ , diagonal $\overline{AC}$ bisects both $\angle BAD$ and $\angle BCD$ . If $AB=15$ and $BC=13$ , find the perimeter of $ABCD$ .

Solution

Problem 7

If $A$ , $B$ , and $C$ each represent a single digit and they satisfy the equation $\begin{array}{cccc}& A & B & C \\ \times & & &3 \\ \hline & 7 & 9 & C\end{array},$ find $3A+2B+C$ .

Solution

Problem 8

How many triangles are bounded by segments in the figure and contain the red triangle? (Do not include the red triangle in your total.)

Solution

Problem 9

If $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_{10}$ is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers that satisfies $\frac{1}{2}<\frac{2}{x_1}<\frac{3}{x_2}< \cdots < \frac{11}{x_{10}},$ find $x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_{10}$ .

Solution

Problem 10

In a certain school, each class has an equal number of students. If the number of classes was to increase by $1$ , then each class would have $20$ students. If the number of classes was to decrease by $1$ , then each class would have $30$ students. How many students are in each class?

Solution

Problem 11

If $a : b : c : d=1 : 2 : 3 : 4$ and $a$ , $b$ , $c$ , and $d$ are divisors of $252$ , what is the maximum value of $a$ ?

Solution

Problem 12

A rectangle with base $1$ and height $2$ is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Another rectangle with height $1$ is also inscribed in the triangle. The base of the second rectangle can be written as a fully simplified fraction $\frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{c}$ such that $gcd(a,b,c)=1.$ Find $a+b+c$ .

Solution

Problem 13

Let $x$ and $y$ be nonnegative integers such that $(x+y)^2+(xy)^2=25.$ Find the sum of all possible values of $x.$

Solution

Problem 14

What is the leftmost digit of the product $\underbrace{161616 \cdots 16}_{100 \text{ digits }} \times \underbrace{252525 \cdots 25}_{100 \text{ digits }}?$

Solution

Problem 15

For all positive integers $n,$ define the function $f(n)$ to output $4\underbrace{777 \cdots 7}_{n\ \text{sevens}}5.$ For example, $f(1)=475$ , $f(2)=4775$ , and $f(3)=47775.$ Find the last three digits of $\frac{f(1)+f(2)+ \cdots + f(100)}{25}.$
