SAT Practice Test 6, Section 9: Questions 11 - 15
11. Correct answer: (C)
Given:
The table
To find:
Car engine oil with a rating of 5W is how many times as fast as car engine oil with rating of 20W
Solution:
From the table;
5W = 2 × 10W
10W = 2 × 15W
15W = 2 × 20W
This means that
5W = 2 × 10W
= 2 × 2 × 15W
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 20W
=
8 × 20W
Answer: (C) 8
12. Correct answer: (E)
Given:
The figure
Points P, A and B are equally spaced on line l
Points P, Q and R are equally spaced on line m
PB = 4
PR = 6
AQ = 4
To find:
Perimeter of QABR
Solution:
Topic(s): RAR rule
Triangles PAQ and PBR are similar triangles (RAR)
The ratio of the sides is the same.
The perimeter of the quadrilateral QABR = 4 + 2 + 3 + 8 = 17
Answer: (E) 17
13. Correct answer: (D)
Given:
g(n) = n2 + n
h(n) = n2 − n
To find:
g(5) - h(4)
Solution:
g(5) = 52 + 5 = 30
h(4) = 42 − 4 = 12
g(5) − h(4) = 30 −12 = 18
Answer; (D) 18
14. Correct answer: (A)
Given:
g(n) = n2 + n
h(n) = n2 − n
To find:
h(m + 1)
Solution:
h(m + 1)
= (m + 1)2 − (m + 1)
= m2 + 2m + 1 − m − 1
= m2 + m
= g(m)
Answer: (A) g(m)
15. Correct answer: (B)
Given:
The selling price of a sweater = $28
The selling price is 40% more than the cost price
Employees can purchase the sweater at 30% off the cost price
To find:
The amount the employees pay for the sweater
Solution:
Topic(s): Percent
Let c be the cost price of the sweater.
c + 40% × c = 28
c + 0.4c = 28
1.4c = 28
c = 20
Purchase price = 20 − 30% × 20
= 20 − 0.3 × 20
= 20 − 6
= 14
Answer: (B) $14.00
16. Correct answer: (C)
Given:
A rectangle ABCD
Point E is the midpoint of 
Area of ABED is 
To find:
Area of ABCD
Solution:
Topic(s): Area of trapezium
Let AB = l and BE = w
Area of trapezium ABED = 
Area of rectangle ABCD = 
Correct answer: (C)
