SAT - Scholastic Assessment Test Math 4

Question 1

A gym charges a one-time enrollment fee plus a fixed monthly rate. The total cost in dollars after m months of membership is represented by the expression 25m + 60. What is the one-time enrollment fee?

Accepted Answer

$60

Answer

In the expression 25m + 60, the term 25m represents the recurring monthly cost ($25 per month), while the constant 60 is added regardless of how many months pass — making it the one-time enrollment fee.

Question 2

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (−2, 7) and (4, −5)?

Accepted Answer

−2

Answer

Slope = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = (−5 − 7)/(4 − (−2)) = −12/6 = −2.

Question 3

Two numbers sum to 22 and their difference is 6. What is the value of the larger number?

Accepted Answer

14

Answer

Set up the system: x + y = 22 and x − y = 6. Adding both equations gives 2x = 28, so x = 14. The larger number is 14.

Question 4

Which of the following is a solution to x² − 7x + 12 = 0?

Accepted Answer

x = 3

Answer

Factor the quadratic: x² − 7x + 12 = (x − 3)(x − 4) = 0, giving solutions x = 3 and x = 4. Of the options listed, x = 3 is a solution.

Question 5

A store sells a jacket at a 35% markup over its wholesale price of $80. What is the retail price?

Accepted Answer

$108

Answer

A 35% markup means the retail price = 80 × 1.35 = $108.
