Of the 800 employees of Company X, 80 percent have been with the company for at least ten years. If y of theselong-termmembers were to retire and no other employee changes were to occur, what value of y would reduce the percent oflong-termemployees in the company to 70 percent ?
[ "266.67", "112", "56", "200" ]
A
The # oflong-termemployees is 80%*800=640. After y of them retire new # oflong-termemployees would become 640-y. Total # of employees would become 800-y. We want 640-y to be 70% of 800-y --> 640-y=(800 -y)*70% --> y = 266.67. Answer: B.

Linda spent 3/4 of her savings on furniture and the rest on a TV. If the TV cost her $200, what were her original savings?
[ "$900", "$700", "$800", "$1000" ]
C
If Linda spent 3/4 of her savings on furnitute, the rest 4 / 4 - 3 / 4 = 1 / 4 on a TV But the TV cost her $200. So 1 / 4 of her savings is $200. So her original savings are 4 times $200 = $800 correct answer B

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?
[ "Cannot be determined", "56", "54", "96" ]
A
Answer: Option D Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit by y Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3 or y - x = 3 Solving x + y = 15 and x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6 Solving x + y = 15 and y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9 So, the number is either 96 or 69. Hence, the number cannot be determined.

An auction house charges a commission of 18% on the first $50,000 of the sale price of an item, plus 10% on the amount of of the sale price in excess of $50,000. What was the price of a painting for which the house charged a total commission of $24,000?
[ "$240,000", "$365,000", "$160,000", "$200,000" ]
D
Say the price of the house was $x, then 0.18*50,000+0.1*(x-50,000)=24,000 --> x=$200,000 (18% of $50,000 plus 10% of the amount in excess of $50,000, which is x-50,000, should equal to total commission of $24,000). Answer: C.

When positive integer N is divided by positive integer J, the remainder is 18. If N/J = 134.08, what is value of J?
[ "78", "225", "112", "56" ]
