There are three times elephants compared to giraffes in the safari. If there is a
total of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there in the safari?
A. 22
B. 31
C. 43
D. 59
E. 66
F. None of these - ANSWER-The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as
many elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and
elephants as 3X, and build the following equation:
,3X + X = 88
4X = 88
X = 88/4
X = 22
As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes.
As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as
there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many elephants there are in
the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3:
22 * 3 = 66
66 is the number of elephants in the safari.

A shop owner bought some shovels for $5,500. The shovels were sold for
$7,300, with a profit of $50 per a shovel. How many shovels were involved?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 55
D. 73
E. 90
F. None of these - ANSWER-The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the
sale is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300-$5500=
,$1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the
amount of shovels is 1800/50=36.
What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
A. 9
B. 13
C. 10
D. 20
E. 15
F. None of these - ANSWER-The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of
two separate subseries that alternate:
1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15).
2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease by 2 (15, 13, 11)
The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are bolded, and the numbers
that decrease by 2 are underlined. We are missing the seventh number which
is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the last odd term (the fifth
number) by 5.
The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20
A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15
minutes?
A. 9 miles
, B. 11 miles
C. 13.25 miles
D. 21.25 miles
E. 22.75 miles
F. None of these - ANSWER-The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60
minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the
distance traveled per hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25.
A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total
of 17 cars were sold for $191,000, how many of the cars sold were used?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 8
E. 10
F. None of these - ANSWER-The correct answer is (F) - None of the above.
First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by
a common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying
zeroes. Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new
cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first
representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars:
a. 7U+16N=191
b. N+U= 17
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in
the first equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used
cars were sold.
