Question: Jane makes toy bears. When she works with an assistant, she makes 71 percent more bears per week and works 10 percent fewer hours each week. Having an assistant increases Jane’s output of toy bears per hour by what percent?
A.20%
B.80%
C.90%
D.180%
Answer: C.90%
Explanation: Let's assume just Jane 40 bears per 40/hrs a week, so that is 1 bear/hr. With an assistant she makes 68.4 bears per 36 hours a week or 1.9 bears/hr ([40 bears * 1.71] / [40 hrs * .90]).
[(1.9 - 1)/1] * 100% = 90%

Question: The amount of an investment will double in approximately 70/ p years, where p is the percent interest, compounded annually. If Thelma invests $ 40,000 in a long-term CD that pays 5 percent interest, compounded annually, what will be the approximate total value of the investment when Thelma is ready to retire 28 years later?
A.$ 160,000
B.$ 320,000
C.$ 360,000
D.$ 450,000
Answer: A.$ 160,000
Explanation: The amount of an investment will double in approximately 70/ p years, where p is the percent interest, compounded annually. If Thelma invests $ 40,000 in a long-term CD that pays 5 percent interest, compounded annually, what will be the approximate total value of the investment when Thelma is ready to retire 42 years later?
The investment gets doubled in 70/p years. Therefore, the investment gets doubled in 70/5= every 14 years. After 28 years, the investment will get doubled 28/14= 2 times.
So the amount invested will get doubled thrice.
So, 40000 *2 = 80000
80000*2 = 160000
Hence, the answer is A.

Question: This year, MBB Consulting fired 7% of its employees and left remaining employee salaries unchanged. Sally, a first-year post-MBA consultant, noticed that that the average (arithmetic mean) of employee salaries at MBB was 10% more after the employee headcount reduction than before. The total salary pool allocated to employees after headcount reduction is what percent of that before the headcount reduction?
A.98.5%
B.100.0%
C.102.3%
D.104.5%
Answer: C.102.3%
Explanation: 100 employees getting 1000$ avg, so total salary for 100 ppl = 100000
7% reduction in employees lead to 93 employees and a salary increase of 10% of previous avg salary
Thus the new avg salary is = 10%(1000)+1000 = 1100
so total salary of 93 employees is 93*1100 = 102300
Now the new salary is more than previous salary by x%. x = (102300/100000)*100 = 102.3%

Question: Ramesh spends 20% of his monthly salary on food, 10% of the remaining on conveyance and clothes and saves 75% of the remaining amount. If his monthly salary is Rs.20,000, how much money does he save every month ?
A.Rs.2645
B.Rs.7945
C.Rs.3694
D.Rs. 10080
Answer: D.Rs. 10080
Explanation: Explanation:
Ramesh's monthly income = Rs.20,000
He spends 20% on food.
The total money spent on food = 20/100 * 20000 = Rs. 4000
Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.20000 – Rs.4000 = Rs. 16000
Out of Rs. 16000, he spends 10% on conveyance and clothes.
The total money spent on conveyance and clothes = 10/100 * 16000 = Rs. 1600
Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.16000 – Rs.1600 = Rs. 14400
Out of Rs. 14400, he saves 70%.
Amount saved = 70/100 * 14400 = Rs. 10080
