Then Cross-multiplying and solving for x gives you x = 2, so the color is orange.
J
The first step is to find the midpoint between A (−7) and B (1), which is or −3. Once you’ve found this point, you find
the distance from −3 to 5, which is −5(−3) or 8.

E
Estimate which ones are close to (A) is greater than so that’s out. (B) is close to which is too small, so that’s out.
(C) is close to so that’s too small. (D) is close to which leaves you with (E).
95.
F
This is just another disguised division problem. Divide 60 by and you get 160.
96.
A
Multiply both sides of by a to get 3a = 9b. Divide both sides by 3 to get a = 3b, and divide both sides by b to get
97.
G
The trick is to find the pattern of the sequence. The difference between the first two terms is 3. The difference between the
second and third terms is 5. The difference between the third and fourth terms is 7. In this sequence, the difference between
terms increases by 2 each time. The difference between 50 and 65 is 15, so the difference between 65 and d should be 17. 65
+ 17 = 82.
98.
E
You can begin by getting rid of the parentheses in 2(5b −7): 2(5b − 7) = 2(5b) − 2(7) = 10b − 14. When you substitute 3y in
for b, you get 10(3y) − 14 = 30y − 14.
99.
F
We know that 20% was spent on clothing and 25% was spent on food. So the total expenditure on food and clothing was 20 +
25 = 45%, choice (F).
