during a certain two - week period , 64 percent of the movies rented from a video store were comedies , and of the remaining movies rented , there were 5 times as many dramas as action movies . if no other movies were rented during that two - week period and there were a action movies rented , then how many comedies , in terms of a , were rented during that two - week period ?
total movies = 100 . comedies = 64 . action + drama = 36 . since there were 5 times as many dramas as action movies , then action + 5 * action = 36 - - > action = a = 6 . comedies = 60 = 10 a . a

find the greatest 4 digit number which leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5 when divided by 15 and 24 . a . 9974
explanation : since the difference between the divisors and the respective remainders is not constant , back substitution is the convenient method . none of the given numbers is satisfying the condition . answer : e
a = 15 * 24 b = 5 * 15 c = a - b d = c - 4

p has $ 35 more than what q and r together would have had if both b and c had 1 / 7 of what p has . how much does p have ?
"p = ( 2 / 7 ) * p + 35 ( 5 / 7 ) * p = 35 p = 49 the answer is c ."

a can do a work in 20 days and b in 30 days . if they work on it together for 4 days , then the fraction of the work that is left is :
"ans is : b a ' s 1 day ' s work = 1 / 20 b ' s 1 day ' s work = 1 / 30 ( a + b ) ' s 1 day ' s work = ( 1 / 20 + 1 / 30 ) = 1 / 12 ( a + b ) ' s 4 day ' s work = ( 1 / 12 * 4 ) = 1 / 3 therefore , remaining work = ( 1 - 1 / 3 ) = 2 / 3"
