QUESTION: 156

A toll is $2 for a car and the driver and 75 cent for each additional passenger.
If the toll comes to $4.25, how many total people are in the car?

6
5
3
4

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The toll of $4.25 includes $2 for the driver/car. So $2.25 ($4.25 - $2) is left for the passengers. $2.25 / 0.75 = 3 passengers, so the total amount of people in the car is 1 driver and 3 passengers.

A night watchman is required to check in every 40 minutes while making his rounds, to list tour of duty extends from 9:00 P.M. to 5:00 A.M.
If he checks in at the start of his rounds and also when lie finishes, how many times does he check in during the night?

12
13
8
20

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

From 9:00 P.M. to 5:00 A.M. is a tour of duty of 8 hours. Since 60 minutes = 1 hour, when the watchman checks in every 40 minutes he checks in every 40/60, or every 2/3, of an hour.
8/1 ÷ 2/3 = 8/1 × 3/2 = 12
The watchman must check in once at the beginning of each of the twelve 40-minute periods, or 12 times. But he must also check in at the end of the last period. Thus, he checks in 12 + 1, or 13, times.
