A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of 17 cars were sold for
$191,000, how many of the cars sold were used?
,A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 8
E. 10
F. None of these ✔️The correct answer is (F) - None of the above.
First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by a common
denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying zeroes. Now we define the used
cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two
equations, the first representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars:
a. 7U+16N=191
b. N+U= 17
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in the first equation:
7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were sold.
Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by elimination. For starters, since 191 is an odd number
and 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars must be odd (even+odd=odd) - which means
we can eliminate answers A, D & E. Now that we are left only with B and C, let's try to calculate it for
each of these options:
*. 3*7 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer.
*. 5*7 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer.
Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the above.

A. $1225

D. $1450
E. $1800
F. None of these ✔️The correct answer is (B). 25% equals one quarter and a quarter of 1200 is
1200/4=300. Therefore, an addition of a quarter to 1200 equals 1200+300=1500.
