If the average monthly sales for the first five months of the year was the same for the months of June to December, what was the total annual sales?
A. ?1,500,400
B. ?1,600,400
C ?1,700,400
D. ?1,800,400
E. ?1,900,400
Answer : C

Step 1 ? Calculate the total sales for Jan ? May
136,000 + 135,000 + 136,500 + 156,000 + 145,000 = 708,500
Step 2 ? Since the monthly average is thesame, multiply this figure by 12 / 5
708,500 x 12 / 5 = ?1,700,400
Thus the correct answer is (C), ?1,700,400

If the average value of Total assets between the months of April to June is ?150,000, what is the value of Total assets in June?
A. ?154,500
B. ?155,000
C. ?155,500
D. ?156,000
E. ?156,500
Answer : E
Explanation:
Enter the Total assets figures for April to June into an equation, where z = Total assets in June.
151,000 + 142,500 + z = 150,000 x 3
z = 450,000 ? 151,000 ? 142,500 = 156,500
Thus the correct answer is (E), ?156,500
Which month has the highest Working capital to Total assets ratio?
A. January
B. February
C. March
D. April
E. May
Step 1 ? Use the equation provided to calculate the working capital for each month Working Capital to Total Assets ratio = (Current Assets ? Liabilities) / Total Assets January: (66,500 ? 34,400) / 140,500 = 0.23
February: (63,000 ? 35,600) / 132,500 = 0.21
March: (65,000 ? 33,000) / 133,000 = 0.24
April: (68,000 ? 35,000) / 151,000 = 0.22
May: (66,000 ? 33,500) / 142,500 = 0.23
Thus the correct answer is (C), March

John can read 72 pages per hour. At this rate, how many pages can he read in 72 minutes
A. 68.4
B. 86.4
C. 88.4
D. 89.2
E. 92.4
Answer : B
Explanation:
Set up a proportion: 72 pages/1hr = 72 pages/60mins =xpages/72minutes
72 pages/60mins =xpages/72minutes
Therefore 72 x 72 = 60x
X = 5184/60
X = 86.4 (B)
A hospital has enough pills on hand to treat 10 patients for 14 days. How long will the pills last if there are 35 patients.
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
E. 8
Answer : A
Explanation:
This is a rate problem. The more the patients, the less the days the drugs can last. So Patients is indirectly proportional to Days (Patients ? 1/Days)
Let P represent Pills
Let D represent Days
P ? 1/D
P = K/D ( Where K = constant)
PD= K
10 x 14 = K
K = 140
Using the equation PD = K
For 35 patients, the pills will last for 35 x D = 140
D = 140/35 = 4 (A)
The price of a can of soup was increased by 20%. How many cans can be purchased for the amount of money that used to buy 300 cans?
A. 200
B. 240
C. 250
D. 300
E. 350
Answer : C
Explanation:
Assume that a can of soup used to cost N1 and that it now costs N1.20 (by 20% increase). Then 300 cans of soup used to cost N 300. Therefore, how many cans can be bought for N300?
N 300/1.20 = N 250 (C)

Brian gave 20% of his baseball cards to Scott and 15% to Adam. If he still had 520 cards, how many did he have originally
A. 720
B. 750
C. 780
D. 800
E. 840
Answer : D
Explanation:
Let T = Total number of cards he had originally
Before Brian gave out any card, he had 100%
He gave out 20% to Scott — So Brian is left with 80%
He gave out 15% to Adams — Brian is left with 65%
65% represents 520 Cards
Therefore 65/100 x T = 520
0.65% x T = 520
X = 520/0.65
X = 800
He had 800 cards before he started sharing
Of the 410 students at Kennedy High School, 240study Spanish and 180 study French. If 25 students study neither language, how many students study both?
A. 25
B. 30
C. 35
D. 40
E. 45
Answer : C
Explanation:
Let T = Total
S = Spanish
F = French
N(T) = N(S)only + N(S&F)only + N(F) + N(S&F)neither
410 = (240-x) + x + 180-x + 25
410 = 445 ? x
X = 445 ? 410
X = 35 (C)

If 4 boys can shovel a driveway in 2hours, how many minutes will 5 boys take to do the job?
A. 86
B. 96
C. 106
D. 116
E. 126
Answer : B
Explanation:
Logic: More boys will shovel the driveway in less time.
Therefore: Boys is inversely proportional to Time (Boys ? 1/Time)
Let B = Boys
Let T = Time
Boys ? 1/Time. Insert your constant
B = K/T
4 = K/2
K = 4 x 2 = 8
Therefore for 5 boys you will have 5 = 8/T
T = 8/5 hours
In Minutes = 8/5 x60 = 96 (B)
Sharon read 24 pages of her book in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many pages can she read in 40 minutes?
A. 64
B. 66
C. 72
D. 74
E. 76
Answer : A
Explanation:
The Rate = Pages/Minutes = 24/15 = X/40
15X = 24 x 40
X = 960/15
X = 64 pages (A)
Judy is now twice as old as Adam but 6years ago she was 5 times as old as he was. How old is Judy now?
A. 10
B. 16
C. 20
D. 24
E. 32
Answer : B
Explanation:
Represent Adam with A
Represent Judy with J
Judy now is twice as old as Adam J = 2A
Six years ago J-6 = 5(A-6)
Therefore, J-6 = 5A ? 30
J-6 = 5(J/2) ? 30
Multiply through by 2
2(J-6) = 5J-60
2J-12 = 5J-60
-12+60 = 5J-60
48 = 3J
J = 48/3
J = 16 (B)
