What is the average (arithmetic mean) of all multiples of 10 from 10 to 500 inclusive?  Answers:
A) 190  B) 255  C) 200  D) 205  E) 210

Solution: This question can be solved with the Average Formula and 'bunching.'   We're asked for the average of all of the multiples of 10 from 10 to 500, inclusive.   To start, we can figure out the total number of terms rather easily:   1(10) = 10   2(10) = 20   ...   50(10) = 500   So we know that there are 50 total numbers.   We can now figure out the SUM of those numbers with 'bunching':   10 + 500= 
10 + 500 = 510
510   20 + 490= 
20 + 490 = 510
510   30 + 480= 
30 + 480 = 510
510   Etc.   Since there are 50 total terms, this pattern will create 25 'pairs' of 510.   Thus, since the average= (Sum of terms)/(Number of terms), we have...   (25)(510)/(50) =   255   Final Answer:   255

A deer is standing 60 meters in from the west end of a tunnel. The deer sees a train approaching from the west at a constant speed ten times the speed the deer can run. The deer reacts by running toward the train and clears the exit when the train is 33 meters from the tunnel. If the deer ran in the opposite direction it would barely escape out the eastern entrance just as the train came out of the eastern entrance. How long is the tunnel in meters? Choose the correct choice:
A) 127 B) 132 C) 137 D) 142 E) 147

Solution: Let x be the length of the tunnel.   When the deer runs 60 meters west , the train goes 600 meters to a point 33 meters from the west entrance of the tunnel.   When the deer runs east, the deer runs x-60 meters while the train goes x + 600 + 33 meters.   x + 600 + 33 = 10(x-60)   9x = 1233   x = 137 meters   The answer is 137.

Options.
A) 1 B) 10 C) 10^2 D) 10^3 E) 10^4

Solution: Because the question asks for what value isclosestthe question invites approximation.   Let's look at the numerator:   10^8 - 10^2   10^8 is HUGE compared to 10^2.   So 10^8 - 10^2 is very close to 10^8 itself. (Just as 100 - 0.0001 is very close to 100 itself).   Likewise, 10^5 is HUGE compared to 10^3.   So 10^5 - 10^3 is very close to 10^5.   So we have:   10^8/10^5   or 10^(8-5) = 10^3.   Choose 10^3.

Albert and Bob are painting rooms at constant, but different rates. Albert takes 1 hour longer than Bob to paint n rooms. Working side by side, they can paint a total of 3n/4 rooms in 4/3 hours. How many hours would it take Albert to paint 3n rooms by himself? Select.
A) 7
B) 9
C) 12
D) D.13
E) 15

Solution: rate of bob to paint n rooms is n/T(bob)   rate of Albert to paint n rooms is n/T(albert).   albert paints the room 1 hour slower than bob, so T (albert) = T(bob) -1   Together they paint the 3n/5 rooms in 4/3 hours. Rate is equal to work over time   Therefore   n/x + n/x-1 = (3n/5)/(4/3) =   n/x + n/x-1 = 9n/20. Fastest way for me is to think how would make the denominator 20. 4*5 = 20 and it fits x and x-1 or you can solve the quadratic   4n/20 + 5n/20 = 9n/20. Therefore you know it takes Albert 5 hours to paint n room, since Albert's rate is n/5.   4*3 = 3n   12 = 3n.   Answer is 12

The volume of the sphere QQ is (dfrac{37}{64}%)less than thevolume of sphere PP and the volume of sphere RR is (dfrac{19}{27}%) less than that of sphere QQ. By what is the surface areaof sphere RR less than the surfacearea of sphere PP?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 40%
B) 50%
C) 75%
D) 80%
E) 90%

Solution: Let the volume of sphere PP be 64 parts.   Therefore volume of sphere QQ   =64−3764%=64−3764% of 6464   =64−37=27=64−37=27 parts.   The volume of RR   =27−1927×27=27−1927×27   =27−19=8=27−19=8 parts.   Volume ratio:   =P:Q:R=64:27:8=P:Q:R=64:27:8   Radius ratio:   =P:Q:R=4:3:2=P:Q:R=4:3:2   The surface area will be 16:9:516:9:5   Surface area of RR is less than the surface area of sphere PP   16k−4k=12k16k−4k=12k   Now,   =12k16k×100=12k16k×100   =75%=75%   Thus surface area of sphere RR is less than the surface area of sphere P by 75%   75%

At the wholesale store you can buy an 8-pack of hot dogs for $1.55, a 20-pack for $3.05, and a 250-pack for $22.95. What is the greatest number of hot dogs you can buy at this store with $250?  Select the correct option.
A) 1,108 B) 2,100 C) 2,628 D) 2,124 E) 2,256

Solution: To maximize number of hot dogs with 250$   Total number of hot dogs bought in 250-pack = 22.95*10= 
22.95*10 = 229.5
229.5$   Amount remaining= 250 - 229.5= 
250 - 229.5 = 20.5
20.5$   Total number of hot dogs bought in 20-pack= 3.05*6= 
3.05*6 = 18.3
18.3$   Amount remaining= 20.5 - 18.3= 
20.5 - 18.3 = 2.2
2.2$   Total number of hot dogs bought in 8-pack= 1.55*1= 
1.55*1 = 1.55
1.55$   Amount remaining= 2.2 - 1.55= 
2.2 - 1.55 = 0.65
0.65$   This amount is too less to buy any 8- pack .   Greatest number of hot dogs one can buy with 250 $= 250*10+20*6+8*1= 
250*10+20*6+8*1 = 2_628
