B. £155,000
C. £155,500
D. £156,000

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

A. January
B. February
C. March
D. April
E. May

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

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 α 1/Days)
Let P represent Pills
Let D represent Days
P α 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 α 1/Time)
Let B = Boys
Let T = Time
Boys α 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)

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)
