a baker charges n dollars for a birthday cake . next week , she intends to earn 320 dollars selling cakes . if she were to reduce the price of the cake by 20 percent , she would have to sell two more cakes to earn the same amount of revenue . how many cakes does she intend to sell next week ?
we ' re told that by selling cakes at n dollars / cake , a baker will make $ 320 . reducing the price by 20 % and selling 2 more cakes will also make her $ 320 . we ' re asked for the original number of cakes that the baker intends to sell . $ 320 is a rather interesting number . based on the answer choices , we ' re almost certainly dealing with integer values for the number of cakes and the price per cake . as such , 6 is probably not going to be part of the solution ( either as 4 and 6 cakes or as 6 and 8 cakes ) . as such , we can avoid answers b and c . . . . let ' s test answer d : 8 cakes if . . . . original cakes = 8 8 ( n ) = $ 320 , so n = $ 40 / cake 20 % off = $ 8 off = 40 - 8 = $ 32 / cake + 2 more cakes = 8 + 2 = 10 cakes 10 ( 32 ) = $ 320 this is an exact match for what we were told , so this must be the answer . final answer : d

a rainstorm increased the amount of water stored in state j reservoirs from 180 billion gallons to 200 billion gallons . if the storm increased the amount of water in the reservoirs to 60 percent of total capacity , approximately how many billion gallons of water were the reservoirs short of total capacity prior to the storm ?
after the reservoir is filled to 200 gallons the amount of water is at 60 % - which means that 40 % of the reservoir is empty . to figure out what that 40 % is approximate : 200 gallons / 60 percent = x gallons / 40 percent , therefore , x = 133.33 gallons , answer choices a , b , c , d are below 133.33 . we know that the reservoir must be short more than 133.33 gallons , therefore , the only possible choice is e .

a = 5 / 100 b = a * 2 c = 56 / b d = c * 5 e = d / 100 f = 5 / 100 g = f * 2 h = 56 / g i = e + h j = 5 / 100 k = j * 2 l = 56 / k m = l * 5 n = m / 100 o = 5 / 100 p = o * 2 q = 56 / p r = n + q s = r * 5 t = s / 100 u = i + t v = 5 / 100 w = v * 2 x = 56 / w y = u - x

18 men working 8 hours per day dig 30 m deep . how many extra men should be put to dig to a depth of 50 m working 6 hours per day ?
"( 18 * 8 ) / 30 = ( x * 6 ) / 50 = > x = 40 40 – 18 = 22 answer : a"
a = 18 * 8 b = a / 30 c = b * 50 d = c / 6 e = d - 18

the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to 280 meters . the ratio of its length to its width is 5 : 2 . find the area of the rectangle .
solution if the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 2 , then the measure l of the length and and the measure w of the with can be written as l = 5 x and w = 2 x we now use the perimeter to write 280 = 2 ( 2 l + 2 w ) = 2 ( 5 x + 2 x ) = 14 x solve for x 280 = 14 x x = 280 / 14 = 20 the area a of the rectangle is given by a = l × w = 5 x × 2 x = 10 x ^ 2 = 10 × 20 ^ 2 = 4000 square meters answer is b
a = 5 + 2 b = a * 2 c = 280 / b d = c ** 2 e = d * 5 f = e * 2

at the end of year x , automobile installment credit accounted for 36 % of all outstanding consumer installment credit . at that time automobile finance companies extended $ 35 billion of credit , or 1 / 3 of the automobile installment credit . how many billion dollars of consumer installment credit was outstanding at that time ?
"system of equations a = ( 36 / 100 ) c ( 1 / 3 ) a = 35 - - > a = 105 substitution 105 = ( 36 / 100 ) c c = ( 100 / 36 ) 105 - you can do the ugly calculation 105 / 36 * 100 the correct answer is a . the correct answer is 291.67"

the cross - section of a tunnel is a trapezium in shape . if the tunnel is 15 m wide at the top and 5 m wide at the bottom and the area of cross - section is 400 sq m , the depth of tunnel is ?
1 / 2 * d ( 15 + 5 ) = 400 d = 400 answer : c
a = 15 + 5 b = a / 2 c = 400 / b d = c * 10
