A) 5%
B) 12%
C) 25%
D) 75%
E) 63%

The Red Hotel has booked 1/4 of its rooms. The Blue Hotel has Has three times the capacity of the red hotel but has only booked 1/8 of its rooms. If all the bookings from the Red Hotel switched to the Blue Hotel, What fraction of the Blue Hotel's rooms would be booked?
Pick
A) 2/8	B) 3/4	C) 7/16	D) 5/24	E) 1/5

Solution: We will pretend that the Red Hotel has a total of 8 rooms. This means that the Blue Hotel would have 24 rooms. From this, we can deduce that there is 2 bookings at the Red Hotel and 3 bookings at the Blue Hotel. If the two bookings from the Red Hotel moved to the blue hotel that would mean a total of 5 bookings at the Blue Hotel. This would make 5 of the 24 rooms would be filled. (Answer: 5/24)

In a candy dish the ratio of red to yellow candies is 2:5, the ratio of red to green candies is 3:8, and the ratio of yellow ot blue candies is 9:2.what is the maximum total number T of yellow and green candies combined if the maximum combined number of red and blue candies is fewer than 85?	Choose one
A) 144  B) 189  C) 234  D) 279  E) 309

Solution: Given that Red is to yellow is 2:5, Red is to green is 3:8 and Yellow is to blue is 9:2.   Therefore, the total number of red, yellow, blue and green balls will be 18x, 45x, 10x and 48x respectively, where x is a constant.   If the combined number of red and blue balls is fewer than 85, i.e. max 84 balls, then the maximum number of yellow and green balls will be 279.   (10x+18x) < 85.   28x < 85, i.e. 28x <= 84 (Since number of balls cannot be in fraction). Thus, x<=3.   (45x+48x) = 93x.   Max (93x) T(45 +48 )= 
(45 +48 ) = 93
93x.   Max (93x) T= 279.   Answer is 279.

Solution: Explanation:   Relative speed = (72 - 36) x 5/18 = 2 x 5 = 10 mps.   Distance covered in 32 sec = 32 x 10 = 320 m.   The length of the faster train = 320 m.   ANSWER IS 320 m
Answer: D
On a certain transatlantic crossing, 20 percent of a ship's passengers held round-trip tickets and also took their cars abroad the ship. If 50 percent of the passengers with round-trip tickets did not take their cars abroad the ship, what percent of the ship's passengers held round-trip tickets? Choices.
A) 33.3%	B) 40%	C) 50%	D) 60%	E) 66.6%

Solution: 0.20P = RT + C   0.5(RT) = no C   => 0.50(RT) had C   0.20P = 0.50(RT)   RT/P = 40%   Answer - 40%

Two quarts containing 7⁄8 water and 1/8 formula are mixed with three quarts containing 7⁄10 water and 2⁄10 formula. Approximately what percent of the combined five-quart mixture is water?  Choices: A) 60% B) 55% C) 65% D) 77% E) 70%

Solution: 7/8 of 2 quarts = 14/8 quarts of water   7/10 of 3 quarts = 21/10 quarts of water    14/8= 
 14/8 = 7/4 = around 1.75
1.75   21/10= 
21/10 = 21/10 = around 2.1
2.10   Total water= 1.75 + 2.10= 
1.75 + 2.10 = 3.85
3.85   Total quarts= 5   3.85/5 = 77%   Answer : 77%

A) 2/7
B) 3/7
C) 3/14
D) 5/14
E) 11/28

Solution: The number of ways to choose two letters is 8C2 = 28   The number of ways to choose two consonants is 5C2 = 10.   P(no vowels) = 10/28 = 5/14   The answer is 5/14.

An electrical appliances store sold this month 400% more than the average of all the other months in the year. The sales total for this month was approximately what percent of total sales for this year?  Select:	A) 14%	B) 21%.	C) 31%.	D) 37%.	E) 43%.

Solution: The average sales for all the other months (11 months) of the year is x.   So, the total sales of those 11 months will be= 11x   Now, this month's sales, which is 400% more than the average of other months' sales, is 5x, (x+400% of x).   Thus, this month's' sales are (5x/16x)*100=31.25% of the total yearly sales. [Total sales (5 /16 )*100= 
 (5 /16 )*100 = 125/4 = around 31.25
31.25% of the total yearly sales. [Total sales=11x+5x=16x]   Answer is 21%.11 +5= 
11 +5 = 16
16x]   Answer is 21%.
Answer: B

Options:
A) m/3
B) 9m
C) 3m^2
D) m^2/3
E) m^2/9

Solution: m = 9 ^ (X-1)   m = 3 ^ (2x-2)   m^2 = 3 ^ (4x-4)   3m^2 = 3 ^ (4x-3)   Answer 3m^2
