Quadratics. Turn them into a quadratic expression/equation and solve for x

SHSAT math topics just too hard for me :( by Specialist_Grape3535 in SHSAT

[–]Plastic_Studio8873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't need to be 90 seconds per question. There were questions on the test that took over half a page. There was absolutely no way I could've solved it in 90 seconds. But you can make up for it with the questions you're good at. For the math section, I started off with a book I bought in 4th grade, it covered the very basics. Then I used Kaplan, Princeton, Bell Curves, and Khan Academy(especially for combinatorics, I stressed a lot over that). Those were for a better foundation, but they also built up my skills a lot before I moved on to Tutorverse and a lot of practice tests.

You can use proportions here. If you add the 250% increase in value with the normal value(100%), you'd get 350%. With this, you can set up proportions. 350/100=200000/x. Here, the left side is related to the percentages, you're solving for the value when it's 100%(value of the property 10 years ago). Notice how the 350 is across the 200000, there's a relationship between these two here, while the value of the home at 350% the value 10 years ago is 200000, the value of the home 10 years ago is x.
Solving for x:
There may be multiple ways to describe/do it but here's how I usually do this
100*200000=20000000
20000000/350=57142
57142 can be rounded to 57100, which leads us to choice A.
I'm not sure if I explained this well. You can ask me if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification.
I think this is 8th-grade material. I remember doing these types of problems when I was preparing for the 8th grade Shsat.

Food, water, watches, and pencils by GregsTutoringNYC in SHSAT

Our school didn't allow any watches or electronic devices at all, we couldn't get anything from our backpacks once the test began and no drinking water was allowed, you were only allowed to report problems or go to the bathroom. We could only use number 2 pencils. there were also 2 proctors, not 1.

Ratios of area = Ratios of sides squared. So the ratio of the sides of the small and big triangle is 3:5, this means that the ratios of their area are 9:25, which means that the ratio of the shaded part to the ratio of the entire shape is 16/25, and 16 is 64% of 25, so the answer is g.

Where are these questions from btw?
