what is the greatest 6 - digit number when divided by 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , and 10 leaves a remainder of 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 respectively ?
when you divide a positive integer by 10 , the remainder will just be the units digit . we know the remainder is 7 when we divide by 10 , so d is the only possible answer .
a = 1000 * 1000 b = a / 10

a part - time employee whose hourly wage was decreased by 20 percent decided to increase the number of hours worked per week so that the employee ' s total income did not change . by what percent q should the number of hours worked be increased ?
"correct answer : c solution : c . we can set up equations for income before and after the wage reduction . initially , the employee earns w wage and works h hours per week . after the reduction , the employee earns . 8 w wage and works x hours . by setting these equations equal to each other , we can determine the increase in hours worked : wh = . 8 wx ( divide both sides by . 8 w ) 1.25 h = x we know that the new number of hours worked will be q = 25 % greater than the original number . the answer is c ."

roy is now 8 years older than julia and half of that amount older than kelly . if in 4 years , roy will be twice as old as julia , then in 4 years what would be roy ’ s age multiplied by kelly ’ s age ?
"r = j + 8 = k + 4 r + 4 = 2 ( j + 4 ) ( j + 8 ) + 4 = 2 j + 8 j = 4 r = 12 k = 8 in 4 years ( r + 4 ) ( k + 4 ) = 16 * 12 = 192 the answer is c ."

an investor deposited $ 5,000 to open a new savings account that earned 4 percent annual interest , compounded quarterly . if there were no other transactions in the account , what was the amount of money in the account 6 months after the account was opened ?
the amount in the account after 6 months is 1.01 * 1.01 ( $ 5,000 ) = $ 5100.50 the answer is b .

18 buckets of water fill a tank when the capacity of each bucket is 60 litres . how many buckets will be needed to fill the same tank , if the capacity of each bucket is 5 litres ?
"capacity of the tank = ( 18 ã — 60 ) litre number of buckets required of capacity of each bucket is 17 litre = 18 ã — 60 / 5 = 18 ã — 12 = 216 answer is a"
a = 60 * 18 b = a / 5
