Answers:

1. e) 584
Solution:
12 x 0.5 + 0.5 = 6.5
6.5 x 1 + 1 = 7.5
7.5 x 2 + 2 = 17
17 x 4 + 4 = 72
72 x 8 + 8 = 584

2. d) 103
Solution:
463 – 220 = 243
220 – 139 = 81
139 – 112 = 27
112 – ? = 9
? – 100 = 3
So, ? = 112 – 9 = 103

3. a) 38
Solution:
17 +13 = 30
30 – 9 = 21
21 +13 = 34
34 – 9 = 25
25 + 13 = 38

4. b) 257
Solution:
31 + (13 + 1) = 31 + 2 = 33
33 + (23 - 1) = 33 + 7 = 40
40 + (33 + 1) = 40 + 28 = 68
68 + (43 - 1) = 68 + 63 = 131
131 + (53 + 1) = 131 + 126 = 257

5. c) 176
Solution:

Thanks.
