Official Solutions

MAA American Mathematics Competitions


36th Annual

AMC 8
Tuesday, November 10, 2020 through Monday, November 16, 2020

These official solutions give at least one solution for each problem on this year’s competition and show that
all problems can be solved without the use of a calculator. When more than one solution is provided, this is
done to illustrate a significant contrast in methods. These solutions are by no means the only ones possible,
nor are they superior to others the reader may devise.
Teachers are encouraged to share copies of the problem booklet and official solutions with their students for
educational purposes. All problems should be credited to the MAA AMC (for example, “2017 AMC 12 B,
Problem #21”). The publication, reproduction, or communication of the competition’s problems or solutions
for revenue-generating purposes requires written permission from the Mathematical Association of America
(MAA).
