QUESTION: 11

The original price of a car was $25,200. Because the car owner thought he could get more money for the car, he increased the price of the car to 110% of its original price. After a week, the car had not sold, so the owner then discounted the price by 10%, and the car was finally sold. What price was the car sold for?

$25,200
$25,000
$24,948
$24,542
$23,658

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Pay attention, when you raise a number by X% and than you reduce X% you don’t get the original number again because the second time you took X% off you reduced it from a larger number thus answer A is not the correct one,
Let’s check:
25,200 x 1.1 = 27,720.
27,720 x 0.9 = 24,948 and not 25,200. The correct answer is C.

QUESTION: 14

Tim and Élan are 90 miles away from one another. They are starting to move towards each other simultaneously, Tim at a speed of 10 Mph and Élan at a speed of 5 Mph. If every hour they multiply their speeds, what is the distance that Tim will pass until he meets Élan?

30 miles.
35 miles.
45 miles.
60 miles
65 miles

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Tim is traveling at twice the speed of Élan, and so will be after they multiply their speeds.
In other words, their speeds will always be at a 2:1 ratio no matter what and therefore the ratio between the roads that they’ll pass will also be 2:1 or 60 miles to 30 miles. Tim will go through 60 miles.

QUESTION: 15

In a rectangular coordinate system, what is the area of a triangle whose vertices have the coordinates (4, 0), (6, 3), and (6, -3)?

7.5
7
6.5
6
5.5

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

First draw the x and y-axes, then plot the points and connect them. The length of the base is 6 units [from (6, 3) to (6, -3)] and the height is 2 units [from (6, 0) to (4, 0)].
Area of a triangle = (base × height) / 2, so (6 × 2)/2 is 6.
