How many sales staff members without college degrees are level-2 employees ?
Options:
A)108
B)42
C)56
D)32
E)58
Rationale: I'm going in on this one.
So let's say that we have the following
So we know that L1 = 72 and that C and L1 = 0.10X , we should set up a double set matrix btw but anyways, I'm just explaining the point with this problem. Now we are told that 0.10x = 30, therefore the grand total is 300. Now we know that L2 is 300 - 72 = 228. We also learn that C and No C are equally represented thus 150 each. Therefore No C and No L2 will be 150 - 42 = 108.
Thus A is the correct answer choice
Answer: A

Question: C individuals pledged to pay equal contributions so that a charity’s goal of $x could be reached. If B of the contributors failed to pay their share, which of the following represents the additional number of dollars that each of the remaining individuals would have to pay in order to allow the charity to reach its goal?
Options:
A)Bx/c
B)C-B
C)Bx/C(C - B)
D)bx
E)CX
Rationale: Number of individuals = C
Amount paid by each individual = n
Total expected amount = Charity's goal = nC = x
n = x/C
Number of individuals who fail to pay = B
Contribution from individuals who would fail to pay = Bx/C --> Additional amount
Number of individuals who are paying = C - B
Additional amount has to be divided among the (C - B) individuals --> Bx/C(C - B)

Question: A can do a particular work in 6 days . B can do the same work in 8 days. A and B signed to do it for Rs. 2400. They completed the work in 3 days with the help of C. How much is to be paid to C?
Options:
A)s. 300
B)s. 600
C)s. 420
D)s. 400
E)s. 480
Rationale: Explanation :
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 1/6
Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/8
Amount of work A + B can do in 1 day = 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24
Amount of work A + B + C can do = 1/3
Amount of work C can do in 1 day = 1/3 - 7/24 = 1/24
work A can do in 1 day: work B can do in 1 day: work C can do in 1 day
= 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 = 4 : 3 : 1
Amount to be paid to C = 2400 × (1/8) = 300

Options:
A)15/28
B)1/4
C)9/16

Question: Tough and Tricky questions: Word Problems.
If Bill's salary increased by 16 percent, he would earn $812 per month. If instead, his salary were to increase by only 10 percent, how much money R would he earn per month?
Options:
A)$700
B)$754
C)$770
D)$782
E)$893
Rationale: OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
(C) If Bill’s salary increased by 16% he would earn $812. Algebraically, this can be written as:
$812 = 1.16S, where S is his current salary.
Then S = $812/1.16 = $700.
Now that we know his current salary is $700, we can calculate what his salary would be if it were increased by 10%. We know that 10% of $700 is $70, so his salary would be:
R=$700 + $70 = $770.
The correct answer is choice (C).
