C. October
D. May
A shop owner bought some The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the sale
shovels for is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is
$5,500. The shovels were sold
$7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each
for $7,300, with a profit of
shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of shovels is
$50 per a shovel. How
1800/50=36.
many shovels were
involved?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 55
D. 73
E. 90
F. None of these
How many states are there in The correct answer is (D). The USA has 50 states.
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
There are three times as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the
elephants
following equation:
compared to giraffes in the
3X + X = 88
safari. If there is a total of
4X =
88 elephants and giraffes,
88 X
how many elephants are
=
there in the
88/4
safari?
X=
A. 22
22
B. 31
C. 43
As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes.
D. 59
Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the
E. 66
F. None of these problem, there are three times as many elephants as
there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many
elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number
of giraffes by 3:
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 by 2 (15, 13,
11)
11, ___
A. 9
The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
B. 13
C. 10
As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are
D. 20
bolded, and the numbers that decrease by 2 are
E. 15
underlined. We are missing the seventh number
F. None of these
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 85 The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60 minutes. A
miles per hour. How far will it quarter of an hour is
15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance
travel in 15 minutes?
traveled per hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25.
A. 9 miles
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
A car dealership sells used
representing the total price and the second the total amount of
cars for
cars:
$7,000 and new cars for
$16,000. If a total of 17 cars a. 7U+16N=191
were sold for $191,000, b. N+U= 17
how many of the cars sold
were used? So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we
A. 2 can now substitute N in the first equation: 7U+16(17-
B. 3 U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were
C. 5 sold.
D. 8
E. 10
Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by
F. None of these
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:
. 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.
Joey got a 25% raise to his The correct answer is (B). 25% equals one quarter and a quarter of
salary. If his 1200 is
original salary was $1,200, 1200/4=300. Therefore, an addition of a quarter to 1200 equals
how much was it after the 1200+300=1500.
raise was implemented?
A. $1225
B. $1500
C. $1350
D. $1450
E. $1800
F. None of these
