Problem 1 (from Problem 23, AMC 8 2019)

After Euclid High School's last basketball game, it was determined that $\frac{1}{4}$ of the team's points were scored by Alexa and $\frac{2}{7}$ were scored by Brittany. Chelsea scored $15$ points. None of the other $7$ team members scored more than $2$ points. What was the total number of points scored by the other $7$ team members?

Problem 2 (from Problem 7, AMC 8 2010)

Using only pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, what is the smallest number of coins Freddie would need so he could pay any amount of money less than a dollar?

Problem 3 (from Problem 6, AMC 8 2013)

The number in each box below is the product of the numbers in the two boxes that touch it in the row above. For example, $30 = 6\times5$. What is the missing number in the top row?

[asy] unitsize(0.8cm); draw((-1,0)--(1,0)--(1,-2)--(-1,-2)--cycle); draw((-2,0)--(0,0)--(0,2)--(-2,2)--cycle); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--cycle); draw((-3,2)--(-1,2)--(-1,4)--(-3,4)--cycle); draw((-1,2)--(1,2)--(1,4)--(-1,4)--cycle); draw((1,2)--(1,4)--(3,4)--(3,2)--cycle); label("600",(0,-1)); label("30",(-1,1)); label("6",(-2,3)); label("5",(0,3)); [/asy]

Problem 4 (from Problem 1, AMC 8 2005)

Connie multiplies a number by 2 and gets 60 as her answer. However, she should have divided the number by 2 to get the correct answer. What is the correct answer?

Problem 5 (from Problem 6, AMC 8 2019)

There are $81$ grid points (uniformly spaced) in the square shown in the diagram below, including the points on the edges. Point $P$ is in the center of the square. Given that point $Q$ is randomly chosen among the other $80$ points, what is the probability that the line $PQ$ is a line of symmetry for the square?

[asy] draw((0,0)--(0,8)); draw((0,8)--(8,8)); draw((8,8)--(8,0)); draw((8,0)--(0,0)); dot((0,0)); dot((0,1)); dot((0,2)); dot((0,3)); dot((0,4)); dot((0,5)); dot((0,6)); dot((0,7)); dot((0,8)); dot((1,0)); dot((1,1)); dot((1,2)); dot((1,3)); dot((1,4)); dot((1,5)); dot((1,6)); dot((1,7)); dot((1,8)); dot((2,0)); dot((2,1)); dot((2,2)); dot((2,3)); dot((2,4)); dot((2,5)); dot((2,6)); dot((2,7)); dot((2,8)); dot((3,0)); dot((3,1)); dot((3,2)); dot((3,3)); dot((3,4)); dot((3,5)); dot((3,6)); dot((3,7)); dot((3,8)); dot((4,0)); dot((4,1)); dot((4,2)); dot((4,3)); dot((4,4)); dot((4,5)); dot((4,6)); dot((4,7)); dot((4,8)); dot((5,0)); dot((5,1)); dot((5,2)); dot((5,3)); dot((5,4)); dot((5,5)); dot((5,6)); dot((5,7)); dot((5,8)); dot((6,0)); dot((6,1)); dot((6,2)); dot((6,3)); dot((6,4)); dot((6,5)); dot((6,6)); dot((6,7)); dot((6,8)); dot((7,0)); dot((7,1)); dot((7,2)); dot((7,3)); dot((7,4)); dot((7,5)); dot((7,6)); dot((7,7)); dot((7,8)); dot((8,0)); dot((8,1)); dot((8,2)); dot((8,3)); dot((8,4)); dot((8,5)); dot((8,6)); dot((8,7)); dot((8,8)); label("P",(4,4),NE); [/asy]
