Example Question #381 : Numbers And Operations

In order to travel from New York to Florida with his family, Eric needs to purchase 3 tickets, costing $52.00, $64.79 and $44.50. If he has $213.00 in his wallet, how much money will Eric have left over after buying the tickets?

Possible Answers:

$\$49.21$ $\displaystyle \$49.21$

$\$96.21$ $\displaystyle \$96.21$

$\$51.71$ $\displaystyle \$51.71$

$\$161.29$ $\displaystyle \$161.29$

$\$63.04$ $\displaystyle \$63.04$

Correct answer:

$\$51.71$ $\displaystyle \$51.71$

Explanation:

First add up the prices of the three tickets:

$\displaystyle 52.00+64.79+44.50=161.29$

Then subtract that amount from $213:

$\displaystyle 213.00-161.29=51.71$

Example Question #195 : Whole And Part

Which of the following is a factor of 72?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 5$

None of these

$\displaystyle 11$

$\displaystyle 18$

$\displaystyle 7$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 18$

Explanation:

Factors can be multiplied to get a certain number; when a certain number is divided by a factor, the result is a whole number.

When 18 and 4 are multiplied, the result is 72; thus, 18 and 4 are both factors of 72.

$18\times4=72$ $\displaystyle 18\times4=72$

$72\div18=4$ $\displaystyle 72\div18=4$

When 72 is divided by the other answer choices, a whole number does NOT result.

Example Question #196 : Whole And Part

There are 15 animals in a pet store. The only animals are dogs and cats. There are twice as many dogs as cats. How many dogs are there?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 15$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 10$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 10$

Explanation:

In this problem, the sum of the cats and dogs must equal 15. If there are 10 dogs, there must be 5 cats because there are twice as many dogs as cats. (Two times 5 is 10.)

Given that 10 plus 5 is 15, 10 is the correct answer.

Example Question #24 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

A dog has a litter of 6 puppies. The average weight of the puppies is 7 pounds. After one week, half of the puppies have gained one pound. What is the new average weight of the puppies after one week?

Possible Answers:

$8\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 8\ \text{pounds}$

$6\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 6\ \text{pounds}$

$7\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 7\ \text{pounds}$

$6.5\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 6.5\ \text{pounds}$

$7.5\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 7.5\ \text{pounds}$

Correct answer:

$7.5\ \text{pounds}$ $\displaystyle 7.5\ \text{pounds}$

Explanation:

If half of the 6 puppies gain one pound, that means that 3 puppies will gain one pound. This means that 3 total pounds will be gained among the 6 puppies.

We can assume that the weight of each puppy was originally 7 pounds, since the average was 7. Three of the puppies have gained a pound, meaning they will weigh 8 pounds.

Weights of the puppies after one week: 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8

Find the new average by summing the individual weights and dividing by the number of puppies.

$\frac{7+7+7+8+8+8}{6}=\frac{45}{6}=7.5$ $\displaystyle \frac{7+7+7+8+8+8}{6}=\frac{45}{6}=7.5$
