during a special promotion , a certain filling station is offering a 10 percent discount on gas purchased after the first 10 gallons . if kim purchased 20 gallons of gas , and isabella purchased 25 gallons of gas , then isabella β€Ÿ s total per - gallon discount is what percent of kim β€Ÿ s total per - gallon discount ?
"kim purchased 20 gallons of gas . she paid for 10 + 0.9 * 10 = 19 gallons , so the overall discount she got was 1 / 20 = 5 % . isabella purchased 25 gallons of gas . she paid for 10 + 0.9 * 15 = 23.5 gallons , so the overall discount she got was 1.5 / 25 = 6 % . 6 is 6 / 5 * 100 = 120 % of 5 . answer : d ."

. the price of commodity p increases by 40 paise every year , while the price of commodity q increases by 15 paise every year . if in 2001 , the price of commodity p was rs . 4.20 and that of q was rs . 6.30 , in which year commodity p will cost 40 paise more than the commodity q ?
explanation : let the commodity p costs 40 paise more than the commodity q after n years price of the commodity p in 2001 = rs . 4.20 since the price of the commodity p increases by rs 0.40 every year , price of the commodity p after n years from 2001 = rs . 4.20 + ( n Γ— . 40 ) price of the commodity q in 2001 = rs . 6.30 since the price of the commodity q increases by rs 0.15 every year , price of the commodity q after n years from 2001 = rs . 6.30 + ( n Γ— . 15 ) since the commodity p costs rs . 0.40 more that the commodity q after n years from 2001 , 4.20 + ( n Γ— . 40 ) = 6.30 + ( n Γ— . 15 ) + 0.40 = > ( 40 n - . 15 n ) = 6.30 - 4.20 + 0.40 = 2.5 = > . 25 n = 2.5 β‡’ n = 2.5 / . 25 = 250 / 25 = 101.15 Β― = > commodity p costs rs . 0.40 more that the commodity q after 10 years from 2001 . i . e . , in 2011 . answer : option d

a wholesaler wishes to sell 100 pounds of mixed nuts at $ 2.50 a pound . she mixes peanuts worth $ 1.50 a pound with cashews worth $ 7.00 a pound . how many pounds of cashews must she use ?
"from the question stem we know that we need a mixture of 100 pounds of peanuts and cashews . if we represent peanuts as x and cashews as y , we get x + y = 100 . since the wholesaler wants to sell the mixture of 100 pounds @ $ 2.50 , we can write this as : $ 2.5 * ( x + y ) = $ 1.5 x + $ 4 y from the equation x + y = 100 , we can rewrite y as y = 100 - x and substitute this into our equation to get : $ 2.5 * ( x + 100 - x ) = $ 1.5 x + $ 4 ( 100 - x ) if you solve for x , you will get x = 60 , and therefore y = 40 . so the wholesaler must use 40 pounds of cashews . you can substitute into the original equation to see that : $ 250 = $ 1.5 ( 60 ) + $ 4 ( 40 ) answer is d ."

a rectangular region has a fence along three sides and a wall along the fourth side . the fenced side opposite the wall is twice the length of each of the other two fenced sides . if the area of the rectangular region is 800 square feet , what is the total length of the fence , in feet ?
"two sides each = x the third = 2 x and the wall length is thus 2 x too x * 2 x = 2 x ^ 2 = 800 ie x ^ 2 = 400 ie x = 20 l = 40 w = 20 total length of fence = 2 * 20 + 40 = 80 my answer is b"
