One quarter of the workers at the factory is clerical, one fifth is technical, half are administrative and the other 25 are managerial. How many workers total are there in the factory?

  1. 250
  2. 366
  3. 400
  4. 500
  5. 2500

The price of a product is $a. Bill bought s products and then sold 80 percents of them $b. which of the following represents the whole deal if Bill’s profit was three times the cost?

  1. 0.8sb = 4sa.
  2. (1-0.8) s –ab = 3s.
  3. 3(0.8a – sb) = sa.
  4. (s-0.8s) (b-a) = 3.
  5. (s0.8s) / (b-a) = 3.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This statement is equivalent to 0.8sb – sa = 3sa. The income is 0.8sb, the cost is sa, so the profit is three times the cost.
The correct answer is A.



A grocer bought 24Kg of coffee beans at price X. After a while one third of the stock got spoiled so he sold the rest for 200$ per Kilo and made a total profit of twice the cost. What must be price X?

  1. 66 2/3$.
  2. 50 1/3$.
  3. 44 4/9$.
  4. 33 1/3$.
  5. 24 1/2$.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The total income is 16x200. The cost is 24X, and the total profit is 3200 – 24X = 48X. The correct answer is C.



Kenny is three times older than Bob. In P years he will be twice older than Bob will be Q years later. Which of the following represents Kenny’s age comparing to Bob’s? (If X = Kenny’s age)

  1. X + P = 6X (P+Q).
  2. 2(X+P) = 3X + Q.
  3. (X+P)/2 = X/3 + P + Q.
  4. 3(X+P+Q) = 2X.
  5. 3X = 2(P + Q).

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

X is Kenny’s age. X/3 is Bob’s age. Answer C is equivalent to (X+P) = 2(X/3+P+Q), which means that in P years, X+P is 2 times (X/3+P) plus Q years. The correct answer is C.
