Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together. Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam. How many marbles does Sam have?
- 8
- 12
- 32
- 46
- 49
- None of these - ANSWERS-The correct answer is (A). If Edna has 6 times more
marbles than Sam, 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 are curable? 1 / 4
A. 17%
B. 72%
C. 85%
D. 87%
E. 90%
- None of these - ANSWERS-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%.

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 Bonzo.
- Yes
- No
- Uncertain - ANSWERS-The correct answer is (C). Because we do not know
what kind of hair Bonzo has, we cannot know anything about his life span compared to Rocco. Therefore, the statement is uncertain. 2 / 4

A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of 17 cars were sold for $191,000, how many of the cars sold were used?
- 2
- 3
- 5
- 8
- 10
- None of these - ANSWERS-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 3 / 4
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:
- 7U+16N=191
- N+U= 17
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in
the first equation: 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 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:
- 3*7 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer.
- 5*7 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer.
Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the above.
