The eleventh month of the year is: A. January B. November C. October D. May - The ANS: (B). The eleventh month of the year is November. A shop owner bought some shovels for $5,500. The shovels were sold for $7,300, witha profit of $50 per a shovel. How many shovels were involved? A. 18 B. 36 C. 55 D. 73 E. 90 F. None of these - The ANS: (B). The total profit from the sale is the sellingprice minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of shovels is 1800/50=36. How many states are there in the U.S.A? A. 20 B. 30 C. 40 D. 50 E. 60 - The ANS: (D). The USA has 50 states. There are three times elephants compared to giraffes in the safari. If there is a total of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there in the safari? A. 22 B. 31 C. 43 D. 59 E. 66 F. None of these - The ANS: (E). If there are 3 times as many elephants asthere are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the following equation: 3X + X = 88 4X = 88 X = 88/4 X
As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as there are giraffesin 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. What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, A. 9 B. 13 C. 10 D. 20 E. 15 F. None of these - The ANS: (D). This series is made up of two separate subseries that alternate:
- A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15).
- A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease by 2 (15, 13, 11) The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are bolded, and the numbers that decrease by 2 are underlined. We are missing the seventh number which is an oddterm; 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 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes? A. 9 miles B. 11 miles C. 13.25 miles D. 21.25 miles E. 22.75 miles F. None of these - The ANS: (D). An hour consists of 60 minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per hour by4, which is 85/4=21.25. A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of
F. None of these - The ANS: (B). 25% equals one quarter and a quarter of1200 is 1200/4=300. Therefore, an addition of a quarter to 1200 equals 1200+300=1500. Arrange the following words so that they make a complete sentence. Is the rearranged sentence true or false? Triangle A sides three has A. True B. False - The sentence is: A triangle has three sides, which is true. is to JUICE as WHEAT is to BREAD A. Water B. Pitcher C. Supermarket D. Soda E. Orange - The ANS: (E). An orange is used to produce juice like wheat isused to produce bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A). Does FAQ mean "frequently asked questions"? A. Yes B. No - Yes, FAQ is the acronym for "frequently asked question". ATTRACTION is the opposite of: A. Disgust B. Inclination C. Fascination D. Inducement E. Lust - The ANS: (A).

If John deposits 0.75 of his paychecks into a savings account. How much money does he put in his savings account every
The number of hours it will take to complete the order is 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours John's gross pay for the past month is $4687.24. If $421.78 was deducted from John'sgross pay, how much take-home pay did John earn this past month? A. $ 421. B. $ 4265.46 C. $
D. $ 5109.02 - The ANS: (B). If John's gross pay was $4687.24 and $421.78 was deducted from that amount, John's take-home pay was: $4687.24 - $421.78 = $4265.46. A motorcyclist rode between Flibbertown and Gainesville at a steady pace of 60 miles per hour for 2 hours. After two hours she accelerated to 65 miles per hour for anotherfull hour. What is the distance between those cities? A. 150 miles B. 180 miles C. 165 miles D. 185 miles E. None of the above - The ANS: (D). In order to solve the question, we need to separate the two stages. The first stage is: the two-hour ride at a rate of 60 mph; the second stage is the one-hour ride at a rate of 65 mph. Time (hours) Speed Distance Stage 1 3 X 3X Stage 2? 2X 3X If we sum up the distance of both stages, we will find the distance between the cities. The first stage is calculated using the formula Time * Speed = Distance: 2 hours X 60 miles per hour=120 miles The second stage is calculated using the same formula: 1 hour X 65 miles per hour=65 miles Therefore, the total distance between the cities is 120 miles + 65 miles = 185 miles.
In the stock market, four different stocks have an average price of $100 per stock. The price of a Drone stock is $70. What is the average price of the three other stocks (not including the Drone stock)? A. 107 B. 110 C. 112 D. 117 E. Cannot say - The ANS: (B). In order to calculate an average, we have to know the sum of the individual values, and the number of individuals. We know that there are four different stocks, so the number of individuals is four (Number of individuals). Now, find the sum of the prices of all the stocks (Sum of the individuals' value). We can calculate the sum of the group's value with the average of the values: Sum of all the values ------------------------ = Average Number of Values Let's insert the figures that we know into the formula. Sum of all values ---------------------- = 100 Dollars 4 Sum of all values = 400 Dollars The average of the 4 stock prices is $100, and therefore the sum of the stock prices is $400. If the value of the Drone stock is $70, we can conclude that the sum of the remainingthree stock prices is $330. If the value of three of them is $330, the average price is $110. Quick tip: If an average is provided followed by the number of values, the sum of the values can be calculated. The sum is calculated as follows: Number of values X Average=Sum of the values. The volume of a rectangle prism is 100 cubic inches. Which of the alternatives is itsgreatest possible length? A. 100 B. 10 C. 20 D. 60
In the east - Arkansas and MissouriIn the west - New Mexico COMPLACENT COMPLIANT - The meanings of these words are: A. Similar B. Contradictory C. Neither similar nor contradictory - The ANS: (A). Complacent and compliant both mean "pleasant." Arrange the following words to make a complete sentence. What comes just before the word "by?" suitcase by managed the carry to himself Mike A. Himself B. Managed C. Carry D. Suitcase E. To - The ANS: (D). The sentence should read: "Mike managed to carry the suitcase by himself." Therefore, the word that comes before the word "by" is "suitcase." Solving tip: There is one capitalized word in this sentence and it is "Mike." Therefore, itis the first word in the sentence and it is the subject of the sentence. The following word after a subject will probably be a verb or a "to be" verb, thus the only word which fits afterwards is "managed." In addition, the word that comes after the word "by" has to be the word "himself." Abundant is the opposite of: A. Ample B. Meager C. Sufficient D. Overflowing E. Lavish - The ANS: (B). "Abundant" is an adjective meaning "plentiful" while "meager" is an adjective meaning "not enough." Therefore, the words are opposite in meaning. Answers (A), (D), and (E) are synonyms of "abundant." While answer (C) isrelated to "abundant," it is neither a synonym nor an antonym of it.
Oranges are to fruits as are to shapes. A. Angles B. Dimensions C. Dots D. Rulers E. Triangles - The ANS: (E). To solve these questions correctly, it is necessary to understand the relationship between X and Y (oranges and fruits). Creating a sentence with the first pair of words and applying it to the second pair is a useful method for solving this type of question. Thus, we should phrase a sentence to define what X is to Y. Oranges are a specific kind of fruit. Now, we can try to apply this relation to shapes: A. Angles are a specific kind of shape. B. Dimensions are a specific kind of shape. C. Dots are a specific kind of shape. D. Rulers are a specific kind of shape. E. Triangles are a specific kind of shape. Options B, dimensions, can be eliminated because it is a characteristic of a shape, not atype of one. Option D, rulers, can also be eliminated as rulers may assist us in creating shapes, but they are not a shape. Angles, dots, and triangles are the only options left. Although angles and dots are a part of shapes, they do not constitute as shapes. Thus, the ANS: E. If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Some officers carry agun. Most officers carry a club. The chances of finding an officer who carries both a gun and a club are high. A. YesB. No
X = Y + 9
Unfortunately, an equation with two variables is not solvable unless we have anotherequation. "In 4 years’, time, Jade's age will be double Rose's age" - the second sentence also represents a relation. It means that in 4 years Jade's age will be X+ and will be double Rose's age, which will be Y+4. Look at the equation below: X + 4 = 2 (Y + 4) Now we have two different equations with 2 variables. The first variable (X) is isolated in the first equation so we can insert its value in the second equation by denoting X as an expression of Y. (Y + 9) + 4 = 2(Y + 4) (Y + 9) + 4 = 2Y + 8 Y + 13 = 2Y + 8 Y = 5 Another method: Is understanding the relation between the ages too difficult? You can'tconvert them into equations properly? There is another way to solve this question without all those calculations. The question asks about their ages, and the alternatives offer different ages to choose from. We do not need to try and find the answers ourselves because one of the answersis correct (and if not, the alternative "Cannot be determined" is correct). All we have to do is to check which of the values from the answers fits into the right terms that the question states. We need to find two different ages, with a 9 - year gap between them. Furthermore, Jade has to be the older one. The only answers which fit are B and D. How can we determine which one of them is the correct answer? The second relation between the ages will help. In 4 years Jade will be twice as old as Rose. Answer B is correct because if Jade is now 14 and Rose is 5, in 4 years' time Jade
willbe 18 and Rose will be 9. Solving tip: 18 is twice as much as 9 so this can be the right answer. Although it fits the information the answer "Cannot be determined" is a trap. Why is that? Because maybe there are two correct answers. If there are, the ANS: "Cannot be determined." Therefore, we have to check whether answer D fits the terms as well. If it doesn't, the ANS: B, and if it does the ANS: E. Answer D contradicts the information, because in 4 years' time Jade will be 14 and Rose will be 5. 5*2 is not 14 and therefore the ANS: B.
