on a game show , a contestant is given 3 keys , each of which opens exactly one of 3 identical boxes . the first box contains $ 5 , the second $ 500 , and the third $ 5000 . the contestant assigns each key to one of the boxes and wins the amount of money contained in any box that is opened by the key assigned to it . what is the probability that a contestant will win more than $ 5000 ?
let ' s call the boxes that contain $ 5 , $ 500 , and $ 5000 , respectively , box a , box b , box c . these are opened , respectively , by key a , key b , and key c . we want to know the probability of winning more than $ 5000 . notice that if the distribution of keys is : box a = key b box b = key a box c = key c then the contestant wins exactly $ 5000 , not more than $ 5000 . the only configuration that leads to winning more than $ 1000 is : box a = key a box b = key b box c = key c i . e . , getting all three keys correct . that ' s the only way to be more than $ 5000 . so , really , the question can be rephrased : what is the probability of guessing the order of keys so that each key matches the correct box ? well , for a set of three items , the number of possible permutations is 3 ! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 . of those 6 possible permutations , only one of them leads to all three keys being paired with the right box . so , the answer is probability = 1 / 6 answer : e

solution : this is a percent decrease problem . we will use the formula : percent change = ( new – old ) / old x 100 to calculate the final answer . we first set up the ratios of profits to sales . the first ratio will be for the first album , and the second ratio will be for the next album . because all of the sales are in millions , we do not have to express all the trailing zeros in our ratios . first album profit / sales = 3 / 12 = 1 / 4 second album profit / sales = 5 / 30 = 1 / 6 we can simplify each ratio by multiplying each by the lcm of the two denominators , which is 12 . keep in mind that we are able to do this only because our answer choices are expressed in percents . first album profit / sales = ( 1 / 4 ) x 12 = 3 next 2 million profit / sales = ( 1 / 6 ) x 12 = 2 we can plug 3 and 2 into our percent change formula : ( 2 – 3 ) / 3 x 100 = - 1 / 3 x 100 so approximately a 33 % decrease . answer d .

a fair 8 - sided dice labeled 1 to 8 is tossed 3 times . what is the probability the value of the dice shown is 3 at least once ?
this is a fair dice with 8 fair sides , so the probability of the dice landing on any sides is equal . the question ask if the value of the dice is shown 3 at least once so the calculation of the first possible outcomes is 1 / 8 * 1 / 8 * 1 / 8 ( all of the dice thrown shown the value of 3 ) this is follow by the second possible outcomes if the dice thrown show the value of 3 2 times ( 1 / 8 * 1 / 8 * 7 / 8 ) * 7 here referring to any number besides 3 the third possible outcomes is that the dice show the value 3 one time ( 1 / 8 * 7 / 8 * 7 / 8 ) so the answer is 1 / 512 + 7 / 512 + 49 / 512 = 57 / 512 answer : a

let the number of boys who passed = x . then , 39 x x + 15 x ( 120 - x ) = 120 x 37 24 x = 4440 - 1800 = > x = 2640 / 24 x = 110 . hence , the number of boys passed = 110 . answer : b

a fruit drink is made of orange , watermelon , and grape juice , where 25 percent of the drink is orange juice and 40 percent is watermelon juice . if the drink is made with 105 ounces of grape juice , how many ounces is the drink total ?
"let the total number of ounces in the drink be x . % of orange = 25 % % of watermelon = 40 % % of grape = 100 % - 65 % = 35 % 0.35 x = 105 x = 300 therefore there are a total of 300 ounces in the drink . the answer is d ."

it is the new year and mandy has made a resolution to lose weight this year . she plans to exercise and do yoga . for exercise she plans to workout at the gym and ride her bicycle in the ratio of 2 : 3 everyday . she will also do yoga in the ratio , yoga : exercise = 2 : 3 . if she does yoga for 25 minutes , how much time will she spend in the gym ?
"the ratio is 2 : 3 = yoga : exer , so ( 25 ) ( 3 / 2 ) = 37.5 minutes for exercise , and 2 : 3 = gym : ride , and ( 2 / 3 ) ( 37.5 ) = 25 minutes in the gym . answer : d"
