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.



A Cuban cigar would cost 1 dollar less than 1.5 times a French cigar, had the French cigar cost 0.7 dollar less than it does now. An Arabian cigar costs 50 cents more than 1.5 times the Cuban cigar. The three cigars together cost 74.7 dollars. What is the price of the French cigar?

  1. 16.7$.
  2. 23$.
  3. 25.5$.
  4. 35$.
  5. 37.4$.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Sign the French cigar as X. The Cuban cigar is 1.5(X-0.7) - 1. The Arabian cigar is 1.5[1.5(X-0.7)-1] + 0.5.
The sum of all the three is 74.7. The correct answer is A.



Ashley paid 5 dollars for 1 notebook and 1 pencil. If both prices were integers, how many pencils did Ashley buy if she paid 93 dollars for the pencils and for 15 notebooks?

  1. 6.
  2. 16.
  3. 18.
  4. 21.
