Since 23 minutes before 9:05 am is 18 minutes before 9 am, the latest I can leave home is 8:42am, hence (D) 4, Alternative 1 100 times 1c is $1, so 100 times 20¢ is $20, hence (A).

Since there were 3 teachers, there would be 12 students in all. Six of these were there on time, so 6 arrived after the bell, hence (C). 7. (Also 12) The movie lasts for 120 +20 = 140 minntes, so each half is 140 + 2 0 minutes, hence (B). 8. Counting unit lengths, (A) has perimeter 10, (B) has perimeter 10, and (D) has perimeter 8.

Five of these are shaded, which is 3 of the circle, hence (A) In the hundreds column, 2 must be 1. Then the units column must have 7 +4 = 11 so ¢=7. Finally 47 +74 = 121 and so y=2. Then r+y+2=7+2+1=10, hence (C) (Also UP20, I Faces C and T must be opposite, ruling out (B) and (©). With A upright, the face to the right is M, ruling ont (D). With C upright, the face above is A, ruling out (E) (A) is possible with H opposite face A, hence (A). Call the tallest A and the shortest D and 2, and the others B and G. The only possible arrangements are DBACE, DCABE, EBACD, ECABD, hence (E). The smallest total of 6 different positive integ is 1+2+3+4+5+1 21. However, half of the total is boys’ ages and half is girls’ ages, so 21 is not possible, A total of 22 = 1+2+3+4+5+7 is possible with boys’ ages 1+3+7= 11 and girls’ ages 2+4+5=11, hence (A). (Also 111, $6) Alternative 1 Jenna must leave ont a longer side and Dylan a shorter side, where the longer side is Sem longer than the shorter side. So the sides are xem and («+ 8)em. Then Jenna’s measurement is 2r + +8 = 80, so that 3 = 72 and «= 24. The rectangle is 24cm by 32cm. The perimeter is then 2 x 2442 x 32 = 112cm, hence (A). 2015 AMC - Junior SolutionsAlternative 2 Suppose the rectangle has width w and height h. Dylan’s and Jenna’s measurements are 2w +h and 2h-+w. Adding these, 3u + 3h = 80 + 88 = 168 and so w-+h 168 +3 = 56. Then the perimeter is 2(w +h) = 18. Jim has completed 34 12cm, hence (A) 3 of his run, hence (C) 2 haps, which is 19. The sum of the two digits is at least 1 and at most 18. As a perfect square, the sum is one of 1, 4, 9 or 16. We consider the two digit numbers with each of these digit sums: Sum | Numbers Count: 1 |10 1 4 | 13, 22, 31, 40 4 9 | 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81,90] 9 16_| 79, 88, 97 3 7 20.

Alternative 1 For a given quantity of sugar hence (E) the recipe requires twice as much butter and three times as much flour. So to use 9 kg sugar, you would need 2 x 9 = 18 kg butter and 3x 9 = 27 kg flour. Although there is enough flour to do this, there is not enough butter — so the quantity of butter is the limiting factor. Given that the recipe requires 4 kg butter to make 2 2x 17 = 34 cakes, Alternative 2 x4 = 8 cakes, you can use 17 kg butter to make hence (B). Each cake requires tke sugar, 3 kg butter and 3 kg flour. ‘Then there is enough sugar for 9 x 4 17 x 2 = 34 cakes. These 34 cakes require 34 x 3 2015 AMC - Junior Solutions = 36 cakes, but there is only enough butter for = 254 kg flour, which is available, hence (B).http:anzexams.com 22. (Also 114, $7) ‘The score is a multiple of 6 if one of the dice is 6 or if one of the dice is even (2, 4 or 6) and the other is 3. We tabulate these possibilities amongst the 36 equally likely rolls.

When Jill turns, she has travelled twice as far as Jack, so her speed is twice Jack's. So when they pass, Jill has run twice the distance that Jack has walked, which means that Jack has covered + of their combined distance of 2 beach lengths. That is, Jack has walked 3 of the beach, hence (A) 24. (Also 19) We claim that it is possible to pay exactly for any amount up to 200 cents with the following 10 coins: one 1c coin, one 2c coin, two de coins, one 10¢ coin, one 20c coin, and four 40c coins. It is easy to check that the three smaller denominations can be used to pay for any amount up to 10c. It is also easy to check that the three larger denominations can be used to pay for any multiple of 10e up to 190c. Combining these two facts, we see that it is possible to pay exactly for any amount up to 200c. To see that it is not possible with just 9 coins, consider 199e. The smallest number of coins required to make 199¢ is 9, with 40-+40+40-+40+20+10-+4+4+41 = 199. However with these 9 coins, there are several amounts that are not possible, such as 2c or Ge. So 10 coins are required, hence (B) 25. Alternative 1 Using equal angles on the isosceles triangles Q and the fact that the sum of two angles on a D triangle is equal to the external angle on the other corner, we can fill in the angles shown 1 Then in APQR, 90 + «+ 3x = 180, so that r=9024=225, PA : R hence (D) 2015 AMC - Junior SolutionsAlternative 2 Since APTS is isosceles, ZPST = x°, ZPTS = 180° — 2x° and ZSTQ = 2°. Since ASTQ is isosceles, ZSQT = 2x° and ZTSQ = 180° — de®. Clearly ZPRQ = 90° — 2°, and since ASQR is isosceles, ZQSR = 90° — ‘Then the three angles at $ are 2°, 180° — 42° and 90° — 2°, so that x +180 — 4x + 90-2 90 — dr 180 hence (D) 26. Let the three numbers be a, b,c, where a > b > ¢ > 0. Then a+b+e=96. Now, c is a divisor of a+6, so ¢ is a divisor of 96, and also c < 96. Likewise for a and b. So possible values for a, b and ¢ are {48, 32, 24, 16, 12,8,6,4,3,2,1}, the proper divisors of 96. Ha =48, then b +c = 48, which is only possible with b= 32, ¢ = 16. Wa < 48, then the largest possible values are a = 32, b= 24, ¢ = 16 and a+b+c = 72, so there is no solution. So a = 48,6 = 24,c = 16 is the only possible solution. Checking, a = 48 divides b+ ¢ = 48, b = 32 divides a +¢ = 64, and ¢ = 16 divides that there is exactly one possibility {16, 32, 48} and the largest number hence (48) 27. Alternative 1 Originally the ratio of Reds : Blues is 1: 2 or 2: 4. When 345 Blues leave, the ratio changes to 2: 1, therefore 345 represents a reduction in Blues by 3 parts (the Reds remain unchanged at 2 parts). Hence, one part is 115 spectators and the Reds is 2 parts or 230 spectators, hence (230) Alternative 2 Let r be the mumber of Reds, so that the original total number of spectators is 3r and the number of Blues is 2r. After 345 Blues leave the ratio of Blues to total is hence (230) Alternative 3 For every 2 Reds, there are 4 Blues before half-time, and 1 Blue who stays after half-time, so there are 3 Blues who leave. Since 345 = 3 x 115 Blues leave, there are hence (230). 2015 AMC - Junior Solutions httpvvanzexams.comhttp:l/anzexams.com 28. (Also MP30, UP29) Suppose the top square next to the flagpole is green. Then there may be 0, 2, 3 or 4 blue squares. Here are the possibilities in each case, Blue squares Possible flags 0 i G[ele) Jia . G ech 3 4 Along with these 11 possibilities, there are 11 where the top square next to the flagpole is blue, making 22 ways in all, hence (22) 29. Observe that if a number is larger than 333 and not a multiple of 3, then it cannot be on the list. On the other hand, it is possible for all of the remaining whole numbers larger than 0 but smaller than 1000 to be on the list: Consequently Zoltan’s list is largest when it contains all of the whole numbers from 1 to 333 as well as all of the multiples of 3 from 334 to 999. There are 333 numbers of the first type and 222 numbers of the second type, making 555 numbers in total, hence (555) 30. Thinking of a stack as a trapezium, two copies of it form a parallelogram as shown, Note that the number of rows must be less than the number of logs in each row of this parallelogram. Hence finding the possible stacks amounts to finding non-trivial factorisations of 2 x 2015 = 2 x 5 x 13 x 31 into two numbers. ‘There are 7 such factorisations of 4030: 2x 2015 5 x 806 = 10 x 403 13 x 310 26 x 155 ‘The height of the stack is the smaller factor, so 62 x 65 is the candidate for the tallest stack. Checking, the logs can be stacked in 62 rows of lengths 2.3,4,...,63, hence (62) 2015 AMC - Junior Solutions
