making  the left-hand   of  the inequality  greater than    the right-hand  side.   Therefore,  the answer
is 5.


  1. 5,406 The first step here is to add Team Charlie’s and Team Delta’s total currents together as
    follows:


Next,   use FOIL    to  multiply    this    value   by  the total   current from    Team    Epsilon:    (90 +   3i) (60
– 2i) = 5,400 – 90(2i) + 60(3i) – 2i(3i) = 5400 – 180i + 180i – 6i^2 = 5,400 – 6i^2 . Since i^2 =
–1, this is equivalent to 5,400 – 6(–1) = 5,400 + 6 = 5,406. If you have a calculator that is
able to deal with imaginary numbers, you can simply type the expressions into your
calculator, which will solve everything for you.



  1. 860 The question states that there are 2,400 total inhabitants of Centre Hill, so if there are an
    equal number of adults and children, then there are 1,200 of each. Since there are 200 more
    adult females than adult males, you can set up two equations: f + m = 1,200 and f = m +




  2. You can rewrite the second equation by subtracting m from both sides: f – m = 200.
    Next, stack and add the two equations as follows:




Divide  both    sides   of  the equation    by  2   to  determine   that    f   =   700.    The number  of  women
living uptown is therefore 8% of 700: (700) or (0.08)(700) = 56. The number of

children    living  in  the suburbs is  67% of  1,200:      (1,200) or  (0.67)(1,200)   =   804.    The

sum of  these   two figures is  56  +   804 =   860.


  1. 250 Using your information from question 37, you can determine that the total number of adult


males   prior   to  the addition    of  the annex   is  1,200   –   700 =   500.    The original    percentage  of

adult   males   living  Uptown  is  9%  of  500:     (500)  or  (0.09)(500) =   45. Since   the question

states  that    the percentage  of  adult   males   living  Uptown  decreases   to  6%, you can conclude

that    the 45  adult   males   living  Uptown  after   the annexation  constitute  6%  of  the total   adult
