A shop owner bought some shovels for $5,500. The shovels were sold for $7,300, with a profit of $50 per a shovel. How many shovels were involved?
- 18
- 36
- 55
- 73
- 90
- None of these - correct answer- The correct answer is (B).
The total profit from the sale is the selling price 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.

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?
- 22
- 31
- 43
- 59
- 66
- None of these - correct answer- 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 equation:
3X + X = 88
4X = 88
X = 88/4
X = 22
As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are 2 / 4

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.
What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
- 9
- 13
- 10
- 20
- 15
- None of these - correct answer- The correct answer is (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 3 / 4

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 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes?
- 9 miles
- 11 miles
- 13.25 miles
- 21.25 miles
- 22.75 miles
- None of these - correct answer- 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.
