an investment yields an interest payment of $ 234 each month . if the simple annual interest rate is 9 % , what is the amount of the investment ?
let the principal amount = p simple annual interest = 9 % simple monthly interest = ( 9 / 12 ) = ( 3 / 4 ) % ( 3 / 4 ) * ( p / 100 ) = 234 = > p = ( 234 * 4 * 10 ^ 2 ) / 3 = 78 * 4 * 10 ^ 2 = 312 * 10 ^ 2 = 31200 answer d

the mass of 1 cubic meter of a substance is 400 kilograms under certain conditions . what is the volume , in cubic centimeters , of 1 gram of this substance under these conditions ? ( 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams and 1 cubic meter = 1 , 000,000 cubic centimeters )
"density is mass divided by volume . so density of the given substance will be mass / volume = 400 kg / 1 m ^ 3 = 400 kg / m ^ 3 or 1 g / 2.5 cm ^ 3 = 0.4 g / cm ^ 3 . next , ask yourself if 400,000 g is equivalent to 1 , 000,000 cubic centimeters then 1 g is equivalent to how many cubic centimeters ? - - > 1 g - 1 , 0...

a certain number of horses and an equal number of men are going somewhere . half of the owners are on their horses ' back while the remaining ones are walking along leading their horses . if the number of legs walking on the ground is 80 , how many horses are there ?
"legs 16 * 4 = 64 now half on their horses so remaining on the walk so 8 men 8 men has 16 legs so , 16 + 64 = 80 legs walking answer : d"

54 is to be divided into two parts such that the sum of 10 times the first and 22 times the second is 780 . the bigger part is :
"explanation : let the two parts be ( 54 - x ) and x . then , 10 ( 54 - x ) + 22 x = 780 = > 12 x = 240 = > x = 20 . bigger part = ( 54 - x ) = 34 . answer : b ) 34"

how many integers between 2000 and 3000 that have distinct digits and increase from left to right ?
since the numbers must be distinct and increasing from left to right , the only arrangements we could come - up with are : 245 _ - - > 4 246 _ - - > 3 247 _ - - > 2 248 _ - - > 1 256 _ - - > 3 257 _ - - > 2 258 _ - - > 1 267 _ - - > 2 268 _ - - > 1 number of integers = 20 b
