company s produces two kinds of stereos : basic and deluxe . of the stereos produced by company s last month , 2 / 3 were basic and the rest were deluxe . if it takes 1.6 as many hours to produce a deluxe stereo as it does to produce a basic stereo , then the number of hours it took to produce the deluxe stereos last month was what fraction of the total number of hours it took to produce all the stereos ?
the easiest way for me is to plug in numbers . let the number of basic stereos produced be 40 , and number of delux stereos produced be 20 . total of 60 stereos . if it takes an hour to produce a basic stereo then it will take 1.6 hours to produce a deluxe stereo . 40 basic stereos = 40 hours . 20 delux stereos = 32 hours . total hours = 72 then the fraction would be 32 / 72 = 4 / 9 . therefore answer e

a theater charges $ 12 for seats in the orchestra and $ 8 for seats in the balcony . on a certain night , a total of 370 tickets were sold for a total cost of $ 3,320 . how many more tickets were sold that night for seats in the balcony than for seats in the orchestra ?
orchestra seats - a balcony seats - b a + b = 370 and 12 a + 8 b = 3320 solving equations simultaneously ( multiply equation 1 with 8 and subtract from second equation ) 4 a = 3320 - 8 * 370 = 3320 - 2960 = 360 i . e . a = 90 and b = 370 - 90 = 280 more seats in balcony than orchestra = b - a = 280 - 90 = 190 answer : option b

a squirrel runs up a cylindrical post , in a perfect spiral path making one circuit for each rise of 3 feet . how many feet does the squirrel travels if the post is 27 feet tall and 3 feet in circumference ?
"total circuit = 27 / 3 = 9 total feet squirrel travels = 9 * 3 = 27 feet answer : c"
a = 27 / 3 b = a * 3
