• Orange - -The correct answer is (E). An orange is used to produce juice like wheat is used to produce

bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A).-(15 ÷ 5) x (10 ÷ 2) =

• 10
• 5
• 2.5
• 15
• 13 - -D. 15

-16 ÷ 2.5 =

• 6.2
• 5.6
• 6.5
• 6.4
• 5.3 - -d. 6.4

-17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that are curable?

A. 17%

B. 72%

C. 85%

D. 87%

E. 90%

• 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%.-42 x 0 x 6 =

• 0
• 6
• 252
• 7 1 / 3

• 242 - -a. 0

-A biker travels 5 feet in 0.5 seconds. At this exact speed, how far will the biker travel in a minute?

• 125 feet
• 25 feet
• 75 feet

-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 - -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 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.-A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes? 2 / 3

• 9 miles
• 11 miles
• 13.25 miles
• 21.25 miles
• 22.75 miles
• 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 copy machine repairman makes $12.50 per hour plus $4 for every service call he performs. Last week he worked 34 hours and made 6 service calls. How much money did he make?

• $449
• $334
• $428
• $375
• $497 - -a. $449

-A girl is 21 years old and her brother is a third her age. When the girl is 36, what will be the age of her brother?

• 22
• 12
• 50
• 25
• 27 - -a. 22

-A lawyer owns 4 pairs of pants, 5 dress shirts and 6 ties. How many days can the lawyer go without wearing the same combination of three items?

-A motorcyclist rode between Flibbertown and Guinevill 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?

• 150 miles
• 180 miles
• 165 miles
• 185 miles
• 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 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.
