Answers:

2- B
Let \(x\) be the smallest number. Then, these are the numbers: \(x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4\)
average\(=\frac{sum \ of \ terms}{number \ of \ terms} ⇒ 36=\frac{x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)}{5}⇒36=\frac{5x+10}{5} ⇒ 180=5x+10 ⇒170=5x ⇒ x=34\)

3- C
The area of the floor is: \(6\) cm\(×24\) cm\(=144 \) cm\(^2\), the number of tiles needed is: \(144÷8=18\)

4- C
The weight of \(14.2\) meters of this rope is: \(14.2×600\) g\(=8,520\) g
\(1\) kg\(=1,000\) g, therefore, \(8,520 \) g\(÷1000=8.52 \) kg

5- C
\(4\%\) of the volume of the solution is alcohol. Let \(x\) be the volume of the solution.
Then: \(4\%\) of \(x=24\) ml \(⇒ 0.04 x=24 ⇒ x=24÷0.04=600\)

6- B
average\(=\frac{sum \ of \ terms}{number \ of \ terms}\), The sum of the weight of all girls is: \(18×50=900\) kg, The sum of the weight of all boys is: \(32×62=1984\) kg, The sum of the weight of all students is: \(900+1984=2884\) kg, average\(=\frac{2884 }{50}=57.68\)

7- C
Let \(x \) be the original price. If the price of a laptop is decreased by \(20\%\) to \($360\), then:
\(80\%\) of \(x=360 ⇒ 0.80x=360 ⇒ x=360÷0.80=450\)

8- B
Write the numbers in order: \(3,5,8,10,13,15,18\). Since we have \(7 \) numbers (\(7\) is odd), then the median is the number in the middle, which is \(10\).

9- D
Change the numbers to decimal and then compare. \(\frac{11}{15}= 0.73\)…,\(0.74,75\%=0.75,\frac{19}{25}=0.76\)
Therefore: \(\frac{11}{15}<0.74<75\%<\frac{19}{25}\)

10- A
Let \(x\) be the number of years. Therefore, \($4,000\) per year equals \(4000x\). starting from \($24,000\) annual salary means you should add that amount to \(4000x\). Income more than that is:\(I>4000x+24000\)
