There are two categories with each divided into two modules. The first category is &#8220;Reading and Writing&#8221; with two modules. The second category is &#8220;Math&#8221; with two modules. The one, you will do below is SAT Math Practice Test Module 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first module has questions ranging from easy to difficult, but the second module only contains difficult questions.

The cost of the rental fee depends on the number of hours the surfboard is rented. Multiplying <em>t<\/em> hours by 10 dollars per hour yields a rental fee of 10<em>t<\/em> dollars. The total cost of the rental consists of the rental fee plus the 25 dollar service fee, which yields a total cost of 25 + 10<em>t<\/em> dollars. Since the person intends to spend a maximum of 75 dollars to rent the surfboard, the total cost must be at most 75 dollars.

A total of 803 voters selected at random were asked which candidate they would vote for in the upcoming election. According to the poll, if 6,424 people vote in the election, by how many votes would Angel Cruz be expected to win?<br>A) 163<br>B) 1,304<br>C) 3,864<br>D) 5,621<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-success\" style=\"font-size:0.9em\"><strong>Choice B<\/strong> is correct. It\u2019s given that 483 out of 803 voters responded that they would vote for Angel Cruz. Therefore, the proportion of voters from the poll who responded they would vote for Angel Cruz is 483\/803. It\u2019s also given that there are a total of 6,424 voters in the election. Therefore, the total number of people who would be expected to vote for Angel Cruz is 6,424(483\/803), or 3,864. Since 3,864 of the 6,424 total voters would be expected to vote for Angel Cruz, it follows that 6,424 &#8211; 3,864, or 2,560 voters would be expected not to vote for Angel Cruz. The difference in the number of votes for and against Angel Cruz is 3,864 &#8211; 2,560, or 1,304 votes. Therefore, if 6,424 people vote in the election, Angel Cruz would be expected to win by 1,304 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-error\" style=\"font-size:0.9em\">Choice A is incorrect.
