A. 18 B. 36 C. 55 D. 73 E. 90 F. None of these - The correct answer is (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 correct answer is (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
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 correct answer is (D). This series is made up of two separatesubseries 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 correct answer is (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 by 4, 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 17cars 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 priceand the second the total amount of cars: a. 7U+16N=191b. N+U= 17 So according to the second equation N = 17 - U, and we can now substitute N in the firstequation: 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 isan 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 salary. If his original salary was $1,200, how much was it after the raise was implemented? A. $ B. $ C. $ D. $ E. $ 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. 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 BREADA. Water B. Pitcher C. SupermarketD. Soda E. Orange - The correct answer is (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).
C. Uncertain - The correct answer is (C) - It is uncertain whether the last statement is true. The first 2 statements do not tell us anything about Dave talking to John, thereforewe cannot know if it is true or not. In the following set of words, which word does not belong?A. Affirmation B. DesignationC. Approval D. Authorization E. Permission - The correct answer is (B). Designation is the act of indicating, while theother words mean confirmation. is to CLEANING as MEDICINE is to CURINGA. Chore B. Dirt C. Soap D. Germs E. Shiny - The correct answer is C). Soap is used for cleaning as medicine is used forcuring Which one has the biggest diameter?A. The sun B. The moonC. Earth D. Venus E. A basketball - The correct answer is (A). The sun has a diameter over than 100 timeslarger than earth, which has a diameter larger than the all the other answers. Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together. Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam. How many marbles does Sam have? A. 8 B. 12 C. 32 D. 46 E. 49 F. None of these - The correct answer is (A). If Edna has 6 times more marbles thanSam, we can define Sam as X and Edna as 6X, and build the following equation: X+6X=56, therefore X=8. 17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that arecurable? A. 17% B. 72% C. 85% D. 87% E. 90%
F. None of these - The correct answer is (C). In order to find out how much is 17 out of 20 in percentage, we need to reach a denominator of 100 (a percent is simply a fraction with a denominator of 100). In order to do this we multiply the fraction 17/20 by 5 and reach 85/100 which is 85%. AFFLUENT WEALTHY - The meanings of these words are:1. Similar
- Contradictory
- Neither similar nor contradictory - The correct answer is (A). Both affluent and wealthy mean having a great deal of resources or money. Therefore, the words aresimilar in meaning. If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Fair haired dogs live longer than black haired ones. Rocco is a fair-haired dog. Rocco will live longer than Bonze. A. Yes B. No C. Uncertain - The correct answer is (C). Because we do not know what kind of hair Bonze has, we cannot know anything about his life span compared to Rocco. Therefore,the statement is uncertain. START is the opposite of...A. Source B. Inception C. ConclusionD. Initiation E. Origin - The correct answer is (C). Start means "to begin," so the antonym is conclusion. Inception and origin are synonyms. Source is not related. Therefore, thecorrect answer is conclusion. IMPERIOUS is the opposite of...A. Arrogant B. Moody C. SubservientD. Quiet E. Stormy - The correct answer is (C). The word imperious describes an arrogantly domineering or overbearing person while a subservient person is extremely compliant and submissive.

(75/100)×7000 = $5,250.
Solving Tip: If multiplying 7,000 × 0.75 seems to be a bit too difficult, we can also use estimations and eliminate wrong answer choices. Let's round 0.75 down to 0.70, while keeping in mind that the correct answer must be slightly larger than the result. 7,000×0.70= 7,000×(70/100) =70×70 =4900. Answers A and B can definitely be eliminated as they are too low. Since we only rounded down by 0.05, know that the correct answer will only be slightly larger than 4900. We can therefore conclude with fair certainty that C is the correct answer. An oven can bake 8 pies of thin crust pizza per hour, or 2 pies of deep dish pizza piesper hour. How many hours will it take to prepare an order of 16 thin crust pies and 4 pies of deep dish? A. 4 hours B. 2.5 hoursC. 2 hours D. 1 hours - The correct answer is (A). Time = work/rate In order to calculate how long it would take to prepare 16 thin crusts, we need to divide 16 by the rate of thin crusts per hour. 16 thin crust pies/8 thin crust pies per hour = 2 hours Similarly, to calculate how long it would take to prepare 4 deep dish pies, we need to divide 4 by the rate of deep-dish pies per hour. 4 deep dish pies/2 deep dish pies per hour = 2 hours 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. $ 421.78 B. $ 4265.46C. $
D. $ 5109.02 - The correct answer is (B). If John's gross pay was $4687.24 and $421.78was 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 another full 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 correct answer is (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 DistanceStage 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. Theprice 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 correct answer is (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.
