The eleventh month of the The correct answer is (B). The eleventh month of the year
year is: is November.
A. January
B. November
C. October
D. May
A shop owner bought some The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the sale is
shovels for $5,500. The the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is
shovels were sold for $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each
$7,300, with a profit of $50 shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of shovels is
per a shovel. How many 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 there
4X = 88
is a total of 88 elephants
X = 88/4
and giraffes, how many
X = 22
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 problem,
B. 31
there are three times as many elephants as there are
C. 43
giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many elephants
D. 59
there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by
E. 66
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, 11, 2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease 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 minutes.
85 miles per hour. How far A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus,
will it travel in 15 minutes? divide the distance traveled per hour by 4, which is
A. 9 miles 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 we
$191,000, how many of the can now substitute N in the first equation: 7U+16(17-
cars sold were used? U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were
A. 2 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 and
E. 10 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars must
F. None of these 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.
