a retailer purchases shirts from a wholesaler and then sells the shirts in her store at a retail price that is 80 percent greater than the wholesale price . if the retailer decreases the retail price by 25 percent this will have the same effect as increasing the wholesale price by what percent ?
"answer : c = 35 . assume rs . 100 to be the price at which the retailer buys from wholesaler . 80 % increase makes retail price = 180 . now 25 % decrease - > ( 1 - 25 / 100 ) * 180 = 135 . now compared to the wholesale price of 100 , 35 % increase is what will have the same effect as increasing the wholesale price ."

on a partly cloudy day , derek decides to walk back from work . when it is sunny , he walks at a speed of s miles / hr ( s is an integer ) and when it gets cloudy , he increases his speed to ( s + 1 ) miles / hr . if his average speed for the entire distance is 2.8 miles / hr , what fraction r of the total distance did he cover while the sun was shining on him ?
if s is an integer and we know that the average speed is 2.8 , s must be = 2 . that meanss + 1 = 3 . this implies that the ratio of time for s = 2 is 1 / 4 of the total time . the formula for distance / rate is d = rt . . . so the distance travelled when s = 2 is 2 t . the distance travelled for s + 1 = 3 is 3 * 4 t or 12 t . therefore , total distance covered while the sun was shining over him is r = 2 / 14 = 1 / 7 . answer : e

in a certain state , the ratio of registered republicans to registered democrats is 3 to 2 , and every registered voter is either a republican or a democrat . if 80 percent of the republicans and 25 percent of the democrats are expected to vote for candidate x , and everyone else is expected to vote for candidate y , by what percent is candidate x expected to win the election ?
"since we were expected to find a percentage figure - it thought that it might be easier to pick a ' smart number ' to represent the total number of voters ( republicans and democrats ) . therefore , i picked 100 ( as the total number of voters ) and thus 30 : 20 represents the number ratio of republicans : democrats . if 80 % of republicans ( which is ( 60 * 0.8 ) = 48 ) and 25 % of democrats ( 40 * 0.25 = 10 ) voted for candidate x , means that out of total of 100 voters ; 58 ( 48 + 10 ) voters voted for candidate x and 42 voted for candidate y . thus we can infer that candidate x is expected to win the election by 16 ( 58 - 42 ) votes . therefore candidate x is expected to win the election by ( 16 / 100 ) votes which is equivalent to 16 % . i think the answer is c ."

a number is said to be prime saturated if the product of all the different positive prime factors of r is less than the square root of r . what is the greatest two digit prime saturated integer ?
clearly d a number is said to be prime saturated if the product of all the different positive prime factors of r is less than the square root of r . 96 has more number of smaller prime factor thats the clue ! ! = d

a small table has a length of 12 inches and a breadth of b inches . cubes are placed on the surface of the table so as to cover the entire surface . the maximum side of such cubes is found to be 4 inches . also , a few such tables are arranged to form a square . the minimum length of side possible for such a square is 24 inches . find b .
"from the info that the maximum sides of the cubes is 4 , we know that the gcf of 12 ( = 2 ^ 2 * 3 ) andbis 4 ( = 2 ^ 2 ) , sob = 2 ^ x , where x > = 2 . from the second premise , we know that the lcm of 12 ( 2 ^ 2 * 3 ) andbis 24 ( 2 ^ 3 * 3 ) , sob = 2 ^ 3 or 2 ^ 3 * 3 ( 8 or 24 ) . combining 2 premises shows the answer is a ( 8 ) ."

if money is invested at r percent interest , compounded annually , the amount of investment will double in approximately 70 / r years . if pat ' s parents invested $ 7000 in a long term bond that pays 8 percent interest , compounded annually , what will be the approximate total amount of investment 18 years later , when pat is ready for college ?
"since investment doubles in 70 / r years then for r = 8 it ' ll double in 70 / 8 = ~ 9 years ( we are not asked about the exact amount so such an approximation will do ) . thus in 18 years investment will double twice and become ( $ 7,000 * 2 ) * 2 = $ 28,000 ( after 9 years investment will become $ 7,000 * 2 = $ 14,000 and in another 9 years it ' ll become $ 14,000 * 2 = $ 28,000 ) . answer : a ."
