A shop owner bought The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the sale
some shovels for $5,500. is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which
The shovels were sold for is $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and
$7,300, with a profit of $50 each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of
per a shovel. How many shovels is 1800/50=36.
shovels were involved?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 55
D. 73
E. 90
F. None of these
,How many states are there The correct answer is (D). The USA has 50 states.
in the U.S.A?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 50
E. 60
The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as many
elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined
as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the following
There are three times
equation:
elephants compared to
3X + X = 88
giraffes in the safari. If
4X = 88
there is a total of 88
X = 88/4
elephants and giraffes,
X = 22
how many elephants are
there in the safari?
As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes.
A. 22
Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the
B. 31
problem, there are three times as many elephants as
C. 43
there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many
D. 59
elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number
E. 66
of giraffes by 3:
F. None of these
22 * 3 = 66
66 is the number of elephants in the safari.
, The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of
two separate subseries that alternate:
1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by
5 (5, 10, 15).
What is the next number in
the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease
11, ___ by 2 (15, 13, 11)
A. 9
B. 13 The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
C. 10
D. 20 As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are
E. 15 bolded, and the numbers that decrease by 2 are
F. None of these underlined. We are missing the seventh number which
is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the
last odd term (the fifth number) by 5.
The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20
A car travels at a speed of The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60
85 miles per hour. How far minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 =
will it travel in 15 minutes? 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per hour by 4,
A. 9 miles which is 85/4=21.25.
B. 11 miles
C. 13.25 miles
D. 21.25 miles
E. 22.75 miles
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 car dealership sells used a. 7U+16N=191
cars for $7,000 and new b. N+U= 17
cars for $16,000. If a total
of 17 cars were sold for So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and
$191,000, how many of the we can now substitute N in the first equation:
cars sold were used? 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used
A. 2 cars were sold.
B. 3
C. 5 Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by
D. 8 elimination. For starters, since 191 is an odd number
E. 10 and 16 is an even number, then the number of used
F. None of these 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:
. 37 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B
as an answer.
. 57 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C
as an answer.
Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the
above.
