Question: Crazy Eddie has a key chain factory. Eddie managed to decrease the cost of manufacturing his key chains while keeping the same selling price, and thus increased the profit from the sale of each key chain from 50% of the selling price to 50% of the selling price. If the manufacturing cost is now $50, what was it before the decrease?
A.$20
B.$40
C.$50
D.$80
Answer: C.$50
Explanation: Deargoodyear2013,
I'm happy to help.This is a relatively straightforward problem, not very challenging. BTW,Crazy Eddiewas the actually name of an electronics chain on the East Coast of the USA back in the 1970s.
Manufacturing now is $50. They now are making a 50% profit, so the selling price must be $100.
They had this same selling price, $100, before they made the change, and had a profit of 50%, so the manufacturing must have been $50. Answer = (C).
Question: A shepherd has 1 million sheep at the beginning of Year 2010. The numbers grow by xx during the yr. A famine hits his village in the next year & many of his sheep die. The sheep population decreases by yy during 2001 and at the beginning of 2011 the shepherd finds that he is left with 1 million sheep. Which of the following is correct?
A.x<y
B.x>y
C.x=y
D.x<=y
Answer: B.x>y
Explanation: Let us assume the value of xx to be 10%10%.
Therefore, the number of sheep in the herd at the beginning of year 2001 (end of 2000) will be 1 million + 10%10% of 1 million = 1.1 million
In 2001, the numbers decrease by y%y% and at the end of the year the number sheep in the herd = 1 million.
i.e., 0.1 million sheep have died in 2001.
In terms of the percentage of the number of sheep alive at the beginning of 2001,
it will be (0.1/1.1)×100%=9.09%(0.1/1.1)×100%=9.09%.
From the above illustration it is clear that x>y

Question: A cylinder is sliced by a plane to form the solid
shown. The base edge of the solid is a circle
of radius 3. The top edge is an ellipse. The
highest point on the ellipse is 6 units above the
base. The lowest point on the ellipse is 2 units
above the base. What is the volume, in cubic
units, of the solid?
A.24π
B.30π
C.36π
D.42π
Answer: C.36π
Explanation: The plane parallel to the base passing through the center of the ellipse will cross the ellipse
along its minor axis. If we cut the solid along this plane and flip the top piece that is sliced off 180
degrees around the minor axis, the solid becomes a cylinder with the base of area 9 and height
(2 + 6)/2 = 4. The volume is therefore 36π.

Question: All the milk in container A which was filled to its brim was poured into two containers B and C. The quantity of milk in container B was 62.5% less than the capacity of container A. If 158 liters was now transferred from C to B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of milk. What was the initial quantity of milk in container A?
A.1264
B.1723
C.1129
D.2613
Answer: A.1264
Explanation: A
B has 62.5% or (5/8) of the milk in A. Therefore, let the quantity of milk in container A(initially) be 8k.
Quantity of milk in B = 8k - 5k = 3k.
Quantity of milk in container C = 8k - 3k = 5k
Container: A B C
Quantity of milk: 8k 3k 5k
It is given that if 158 liters was transferred from container C to container B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of milk.
5k - 158 = 3k + 158 => 2k =316 => k = 158
The initial quantity of milk in A = 8k = 8 * 158 = 1264 liters.

Lets' back calculate and see what we get
Let us consider eggs processed each day to be 400
So Initial ratio of eggs processed and rejected is 96:4 or 24:1
So out of 400 eggs, there will be 384 eggs processed and 16 rejected.
Now if the no. of eggs inspected remain and 12 more eggs get accepted that means there E=384+12=396 eggs accepted and 4 rejected...and the ratio will be 99:1
Bingo...this is what the questions says....

Question: Each light bulb at a hotel is either incandescent or fluorescent. At a certain moment, thirty percent of the incandescent bulbs are switched on, and eighty percent of the fluorescent bulbs are switched on. If 70 percent of all the bulbs are switched on at this moment, what percent of the bulbs that are switched on are incandescent?
A.4.5%
B.8.6%
C.12.3%
D.16.7%
Answer: B.8.6%
Explanation: Let I be the number of incandescent bulbs.
Let F be the number of fluorescent bulbs.
0.3I + 0.8F = 0.7(I+F)
0.1F = 0.4I
F = 4I
This means that for every 1 incandescent bulb, there are 4 fluorescent bulbs.
The percent of bulbs that are switched on which are incandescent is:
0.3I / (0.3I + 0.8F) = 0.3I / (0.3I + 0.8*4I) = 0.3I / 3.5I = 3/35 which is about 8.6%.
The answer is B.
