Similar A set of 4 eggs cost $2.75. 12 eggs will cost ___?___ - ANSWER First, the ratio here between 4 eggs and 12 eggs is 3, so we need to multiply $2.75 by 3.

3 X $2.75 = ?

Let's split 2.75 into 2 and 0.75.

3 X $2.75 = 3 ( 2 + 0.75 )

• x 2 is 6, but what about 0.75×3?

When you need to multiply decimals, think of it as cents in terms of money.¢75 x 3 = ¢225 ¢225 is $2.25 ¢75 x 3 = ¢225 = $2.25

3 X $2.75 = 3 ( 2 + 0.75 ) = $6 + $2.25 = $8.25

Using this method, the answer is $6 + $2.25 = $8.25 Emma and Anna went to the market to buy 25 fruits. Emma got a few apples that cost $2 each, and Anna bought some oranges which cost $3 each. If their combined total is $60, how many oranges did Anna get? - ANSWER We will shortly explain the way to solve it and you will understand why it's a time trap that you better skip.First, you need to process the data in the question and put together 2 equations with 2 variables.The two variables are the number of fruits that Emma and Anna bought.For the sake of convenience, we will mark Emma`s number of fruits or units with E and Anna`s number of fruits with A.

E + A = 25

Since we know that they both bought 25 fruits, the first equation will be:

E + A = 25

Now we will assemble the second equation:

We know that Emma paid 2$ per unit and Anna paid 3$ per unit and the total was 60$.

So the equation will be:

• x E + 3 x A = 60

Now we will isolate E from the first equation in order to create one equation with one variable.

E = 25 - A

Now let's insert this instead of E in the second equation:

2(25 - A) + 3A = 60

50 - 2A + 3A = 60

50 + 1A = 60

A = 10 1 / 2

The correct answer is Anna got 10 oranges.For 3 decades, two coffee businesses declared their gross earnings. The following

shows how much they earned (in millions) per decade:

Coffee Biz A: 11.6, 16.2, 21.2Coffee Biz B: 16.2, 15.8, 18.9 Which month's weather is most similar to April's? - ANSWER Based on the temperatures on the graph provided, October has the temperatures most similar to April's due to how they nearly share the same readings both in the hottest and coldest categories.Four investors bought a real estate asset together and decided to divide the profits equally. Investor A invested $200,000; investor B invested $500,000; investor C invested $800,000; investor D invested $500,000. If the net profit for the first year was $1,000,000, investor A receives __?__ more than if the profits were divided in proportion to how much they invested. - ANSWER Total investment - 200,000 +

500,000 + 800,000 + 500,000 = $2,000,000

The portion of investor A in the total investment - 200,000 / 2,000,000 = 10% Proportional profit of investor A - 1,000,000 x 10% = $100,000 Equally divided profit - 1,000,000 / 4 = $250,000 The difference - 250,000 - 100,000 = $150,000 REMEMBER 15 IS THE MAGIC

NUMBER

One red brick costs $1. If a crate can carry 48 pieces of bricks, how many crates do you need to take if you have $240 worth of bricks? - ANSWER What we know (given rate) $1/brick48 bricks/crate = $48/crate What is needed (crates needed)240/48 = 5 A total of 33 minutes was spent washing 6 cars. At this rate, it would take __?__ minutes to wash 42 cars. - ANSWER Note that this question can be considered as a time trap.These two numbers don't have a round ratio.

42/33 = 1.2727

In this case, you need to find the rate of producing one unit.

33 / 6 = ?

So we need to divide 33 by 6 When you encounter calculations that do not seem to include round numbers, always look for approximate numbers, such as 30 in this case.

30 / 6 = 5

3 / 6 = 0.5

30 / 6 = 5, and the remainder of 3 is half of 6, so the rate per unit is 5.5.Now that we know that it takes 5.5 minutes to wash one car, or in other words, to produce one unit, we need to multiply it by 42.42 x 5.5 =?The way to calculate it without using a scrap paper is to look at the decimal numbers in

a different form:

42 (5 + 0.5) = ?
