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?

  1. $25,200
  2. $25,000
  3. $24,948
  4. $24,542
  5. $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.



On a map, 1 inch represents 28 miles. How many inches would be necessary to represent a distance of 383.6 miles?

  1. 5.2
  2. 7.4
  3. 13.7
  4. 21.2
  5. 28.7

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This is a proportion problem. Dividing the requested amount of miles by the reference amount would give us the answer in inches. 383.6 / 28 = 13.7 inches.



15 Java programmers, working in a constant pace, finish a web page in 3 days. If after one day, 9 programmers quit, how many more days are needed to finish the remainder of the job?

  1. 5.
  2. 2.
  3. 8.
  4. 4.
  5. 6.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The total working days for finishing a web page are (15 x 3) 45. If after one day 9 programmers quit, only 15 working days are done and the rest of the programmers (6) Need to finish (45 – 15) 30 days of work. It will take them 5 more days.



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?

  1. 30 miles.
  2. 35 miles.
  3. 45 miles.
  4. 60 miles
  5. 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.



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

  1. 7.5
  2. 7
  3. 6.5
  4. 6
  5. 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.
