3 people decided to put a down payment on a car for 3500 dollars . how much money do they each have to pay , given that that they have to pay the same amount , and they can not use any bills below $ 1 ?
to keep the amount exact when dividing for 3 , we have to work backwards through division . dividing 3500 by 3 will give us 1166.66 then by subtracting . 66 , we get 1166 , and we multiply it by 3 to get 3498 . to get enough for the down payment , we add 3 to 3498 . dividing the result by 3 gives us our answer . correct option : d

farm tax is levied on the 60 % of the cultivated land . the tax department collected total $ 3840 through the farm tax from the village of mr . willam . mr . willam paid only $ 500 as farm tax . the percentage of total land of mr . willam over the total taxable land of the village is :
"only trick n this question is to ignore 60 % information as farm tax is levied uniformly in the village and that includes mr william ' s land . what percentage of tax mr william paid ? this will be equal to the percentage of total cultivated land he holds over the total cultivated land in the village . that leads to ( 500 / 3840 ) x 100 = 13.02083 % in percentage terms . but the question asks ratio between his total land to total cultivated land . hence the answer is 13.02083 % x ( 100 / 60 ) = 21.7014 % and the answer is not there in the options . the correct answer is ( d ) ."

if x and y are integers such that | y + 3 | ≀ 3 and 2 y – 3 x + 6 = 0 , what is the least possible value e of the product xy ?
how to deal with inequalities involving absolute values ? first example shows us the so callednumber case in this case we have | y + 3 | ≀ 3 which is generalized | something | ≀ some number . first we solve as if there were no absolute value brackets : y + 3 ≀ 3 y ≀ 0 so y is 0 or negative second scenario - remove the absolute value brackets . put a negative sign around the other side of the inequality , andflip the sign : y + 3 > = - 3 y > = - 6 therefore we have a possible range for y : - 6 = < y < = 0 ok , so far so good , we ' re half way through . what about x ? here ' s the formula : 2 y – 3 x + 6 = 0 , rewrite it as 2 y + 6 = 3 x . you can say that 2 y + 6 is a multiple of 3 ( = 3 x ) . so all values which must be integer must also satisfy this constraint . i ' m just saying that , so it ' s easier to evaluate all the possible numbers ( - 6 , - 3 , 0 ) . if you plug in y = 0 , x will be 2 and xy = 0 as the lowest possible value e . hence , answer choice c is the one to go .
