Wonderlic test1.The eleventh month of the year is: A. January B. November C. October D. MayThe correct answer is (B). The eleventh month of the year is November.2.A shop own-er bought some shovels for $5,500. The shov-els were sold for $7,300, with a prt$eit/iN50 per a shovel. How many shov-els were in-volved? A. 18 B. 36 C. 55 D. 73 E. 90 F. None of theseThe correct answer is (B). The total prl0orgOom the sale is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total prl0o is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 prl0o3roTe amount of shovels is 1800/50=36.3.How many states are there in the U.S.A?

A. 22 B. 31 C. 43 D. 59 E. 66 F. None of theseThe correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as many elephants as there are girs4tv3 girs4tv can be dt0ied 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 girs4tv:rCTus, there are 22 girs4tv:rAs mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as there are girs4tv in the safari. Thus, to 0id how many elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of girs4tvr5y 3: 22 * 3 = 66 66 is the number of elephants in the safari.5.What is the next number in the se-ries? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___ A. 9 B. 13 C. 10 D. 20 E. 15 F. None of theseThe correct answer is (D). This series is made up of two separate subseries that alternate: 1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15). 2. 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 odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the last odd term (the 0goT number) by 5. 2 / 114

Wonderlic testThtr0goT number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 206.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 theseThe 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=21.25.7.A car dealer-ship sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a to-tal of 17 cars 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 theseThe 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. NoDrDtrdt0ie 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, thtr0Ovorrepresenting the total price and the second the total amount of cars: a. 7U+16N=191 b. N+U= 17 So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in thtr0Ovortynation: 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 & 3 / 114

Wonderlic testE. 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.8.Joey got a 25% raise to his salary. If his original salary was $1,200, how much was it after the raise was im-plemented? A. $1225 B. $1500 C. $1350 D. $1450 E. $1800 F. None of theseThe 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=1500.9.Arrange the fol-lowing words so that they make a complete sen-tence. Is the rearranged sen-tence true or false?
