a man ' s basic pay for a 40 hour week is rs . 20 . overtime is paid for at 25 % above the basic rate . in a certain week he worked overtime and his total wage was rs . 25 . he therefore worked for a total of :
explanation : basic rate per hour = rs . ( 20 / 40 ) = rs . 1 / 2 overtime per hour = 125 % of rs . 1 / 2 = 125 / 100 Γ— 1 / 2 = rs . 5 / 8 suppose he worked x hours overtime . then , 20 + 5 / 8 x = 25 or 5 / 8 x = 5 x = 5 Γ— 8 / 5 = 8 hours so he worked in all for ( 40 + 8 ) hours = 48 hours . correct option : c

angelo and isabella are both salespersons . in any given week , angelo makes $ 550 in base salary plus 8 percent of the portion of his sales above $ 6,000 for that week . isabella makes 10 percent of her total sales for any given week . for what amount of weekly sales would angelo and isabella earn the same amount of money ?
"official solution : the problem asks for the amount of weekly sales it takes for angelo and isabella to earn the same amount of money . you can write an equation that sets angelo ’ s and isabella ’ s weekly earnings equal to each other , with x representing weekly sales . weekly earnings for each salesperson equal base salary plus commission . so angelo ’ s earnings are 550 + ( 0.08 ) ( x – 6,000 ) , and isabella ’ s are 0.10 x . set up the equation and solve : 550 + ( 0.08 ) ( x – 6,000 ) = 0.10 x distribute the 0.08 : 550 + 0.08 x – 480 = 0.10 x combine terms and subtract 0.08 x from both sides : 70 = 0.02 x divide both sides by 0.02 : 3,500 = x your answer is a ."

if p ^ 2 – 13 p + 40 = s , and p is a positive integer between 1 and 10 , inclusive , what is the probability that s < 0 ?
p 2 – 13 p + 40 = s so ( p – 8 ) ( p – 5 ) = s for q to be negative , the expressions ( p – 8 ) and ( p – 5 ) must have opposite signs . which integers on the number line will yield opposite signs for the expressions ( p – 8 ) and ( p – 5 ) ? those integers in the range 5 < p < 8 ( notice 5 and 8 are not included because they would both yield a value of zero and zero is a nonnegative integer ) . that means that there are only two integer values for p , 6 and 7 , that would yield a negative q . with a total of 10 possible p values , only 2 yield a negative q , so the probability is 2 / 10 or 1 / 5 . the correct answer is b .

selling price is 48 cents / lb for a 20 % profit , cost price should be 40 cents / lb ( cp * 6 / 5 = 48 ) basically , you need to mix 38 cents / lb ( salt 1 ) with 50 cents / lb ( salt 2 ) to get a mixture costing 40 cents / lb ( salt avg ) weight of salt 1 / weight of salt 2 = ( salt 2 - saltavg ) / ( saltavg - salt 1 ) = ( 50 - 40 ) / ( 40 - 38 ) = 5 / 1 we know that weight of salt 1 is 40 lbs . weight of salt 2 must be 8 lbs . answer ( c )

a group of boy scouts and girls scouts is going on a rafting trip . 52 % of the scouts arrived with signed permission slips . if 40 % of the scouts were boy scouts and 62.5 % of the boy scouts arrived with signed permission slips , then what percentage of the children were girl scouts who arrived with signed permission slips ?
"we do n ' t know how many scouts went on the trip , so let ' s assume 100 scouts went on the trip ( since we only are concerned with percents in the answer ) 40 % were boy scouts so 40 % of 100 = 40 were boy scouts 62.5 % of the boy scouts brought their permission slips signed , so . 625 * 40 = 25 boy scouts had signed slips 15 boy scouts did not 52 % of all the scouts had signed slips , so . 52 * 100 = 52 in total had signed slips thus 52 - 25 = 27 girl scouts had signed slips thus the percentage of scouts who were girl scouts arriving with signed permission slips is 27 / 100 = . 27 = 27 % a"

seed mixture x is 40 percent ryegrass and 60 percent bluegrass by weight ; seed mixture y is 25 percent ryegrass and 75 % fescue . if a mixture of x and y contains 30 % ryegrass , what percent of the weight of the mixture is x ?
"assuming the weight of the mixture to be 100 g * * , then the weight of ryegrass in the mixture would be 30 g . also , assume the weight mixture x used in the mixture is xg , then the weight of mixture y used in the mixture would be ( 100 - x ) g . so we can now equate the parts of the ryegrass in the mixture as : 0.4 x + 0.25 ( 100 - x ) = 30 0.4 x + 25 - 0.25 x = 30 0.15 x = 5 x = 5 / 0.15 = 500 / 15 = 100 / 3 so the weight of mixture x as a percentage of the weight of the mixture = ( weight of x / weight of mixture ) * 100 % = ( 100 / 3 ) / 100 * 100 % = 33 % answer : b"
