in a fuel station the service costs $ 2.05 per car , every liter of fuel costs 0.6 $ . assuming that you fill up 3 mini - vans and 2 trucks , how much money will the fuel cost to all the cars owners total , if a mini - van ' s tank is 65 liters and a truck ' s tank is 120 % bigger and they are all empty - ?
"mini van cost = 65 * 0.6 + 2.05 truck capacity = 65 ( 1 + 120 / 100 ) = 143 lts . cost of truck = 143 + 0.6 + 2.05 total cost = 3 * 41.05 ( car ) + 2 * 87.85 ( truck ) = 298.85 answer : d"

a two - digit number is such that the product of the digits is 8 . when 18 is added to the number , then the digits are reversed . the number is :
"answer : option b let the ten ' s and unit ' s digit be x and 8 / x respectively . then , ( 10 x + 8 / x ) + 18 = 10 * 8 / x + x 9 x 2 + 18 x - 72 = 0 x 2 + 2 x - 8 = 0 ( x + 4 ) ( x - 2 ) = 0 x = 2 so , ten ' s digit = 2 and unit ' s digit = 4 . hence , required number = 24 ."

by selling 95 pens , a trader gains the cost of 19 pens . find his gain percentage ?

"you had the answer almost right . the x = 93 refers to only set a . however what ' s being asked is how many members are part of set a . this will include : 1 . only set a 2 . set a and set b so the answer is set a = 93 + set ab = 93 + 23 = 116 a"

at company x , senior sales representatives visit the home office once every 16 days , and junior sales representatives visit the home office once every 12 days . the number of visits that a junior sales representative makes in a 2 - year period is approximately what percent greater than the number of visits that a senior representative makes in the same period ?
each 48 - day period , senior representatives visit the home office 3 times while junior representatives visit 4 times , thus 33 % more . the answer is c .

in n is a positive integer less than 200 , and 14 n / 60 is an integer , then n has how many different positive prime factors q ?
"i like to put the numbers in prime factors so it is easier and faster to visualize . 14 * n / 60 if we write the factors of 14 - - > 2 , 7 , and the factors of 60 - - > 2 , 2 , 3 , 5 , we have ( 2 * 7 * n ) / ( 2 ^ 2 * 3 * 5 ) simplifying 7 * n / ( 2 * 3 * 5 ) the only way the equation above has an integer value is if n has at least the factors 2 , 3 and 5 , so we can simplify again and we have the number 7 . the number could be 2 * 3 * 5 , or 2 * 3 * 5 * 2 , or 2 * 3 * 5 * . . . . . however to be less than 200 we can not add any prime number . 2 * 3 * 5 = 120 if we added the next prime factor 7 , we would have q = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 = 840 thus , answer b ."
