Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Whole And Part

Harvey bought a suit at a 25% employee discount at the store where he works. The suit originally cost $350.00. How much did he end up paying?

Possible Answers:

$\$ 262.50$

$\$280.00$

$\$272.50$

$\$250.00$

$\$300.00$

Correct answer:

$\$ 262.50$

Explanation:

Finding 25% of a number is the same as multiplying it by 0.25; to get the discount, multiply 0.25 by the original purchase price of $350.00

$0.25 \cdot \$350 = \$87.50$

To get the price Harvey paid, subtract the discount from the original price:

$\$350 - \$87.50 = \$ 262.50$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

$A + B \equiv 5 \textrm{ mod } 9$

Which of the following is true if A = 8 ?

Possible Answers:

B = 6

B = 4

B = 8

B = 2

Correct answer:

B = 6

Explanation:

Two expressions are equivalent in modulo 9 arithmetic if and only if, when each is divided by 9, the same remainder is yielded.

$A + B \equiv 5 \textrm{ mod } 9$ ,

$8 + B \equiv 5$

$8 + B - 8 \equiv 5 - 8$

$B \equiv 5 - 8$

$B \equiv -3$

B = -3 + 9 = 9-3 = 6 , so

B = 6 is the correct choice.

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

is a positive integer. Which is the greater quantity?

(a) The remainder if is divided by 5

(b) The remainder if is divided by 4

Possible Answers:

It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given

(a) is the greater quantity

(a) and (b) are equal

(b) is the greater quantity

Correct answer:

It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given

Explanation:

The information is insufficient.

For example, if X = 10 :

$4X = 4 \cdot 10 = 40$ .

$40 \div 5 = 8 \textrm{ R }0$

$5X = 5 \cdot 10 = 50$ .

$50 \div 4 = 12\textrm{ R }2$

This gives the division in (b) the greater remainder.

But if X= 12 :

$4X = 4 \cdot 12 = 48$ .

$48 \div 5 = 9 \textrm{ R }3$

$5X = 5 \cdot 12 = 60$ .

$60 \div 4 = 15\textrm{ R }0$

This gives the division in (a) the greater remainder.

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

is a positive even integer. Which is the greater quantity?

(a) The remainder if 3 X is divided by 6

(b) The remainder if is divided by 3.

Possible Answers:

It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given

(b) is the greater quantity

(a) and (b) are equal

(a) is the greater quantity

Correct answer:

(a) and (b) are equal

Explanation:

Since is an even integer, by definition, there is an integer such that

X = 2Y .

$3 X = 3 \cdot 2Y = 6Y$ ; therefore,

$3X \div 6 = 6Y \div 6 = Y$ ; the remainder is 0.

Also,

$6X \div 3 =2X$ ; the remainder is 0.

The two remainders are both equal to 0.

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

is a positive odd integer. Which is the greater quantity?

(a) The remainder if is divided by 8

(b) The remainder if is divided by 4

Possible Answers:

(a) and (b) are equal

(a) is the greater quantity

(b) is the greater quantity

It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given

Correct answer:

(a) is the greater quantity

Explanation:

$8X \div 4 = 2X$ , with a remainder of 0.

If $4X \div 8$ were to yield a remainder of 0, then $4X \div 8 = \frac{1}{2} X$ must be a whole number; this can only happen if is even. Since is odd, it follows that $\frac{1}{2} X$ is not a whole number, and $4X \div 8$ must yield a nonzero remainder. (a) must be the greater quantity.

Example Question #881 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Quantitative Reasoning

150% of what number is 9,000?

Possible Answers:

6,000

5,000

6,300

7,200

7,500

Correct answer:

6,000

Explanation:

Taking 150% of a number is the same as multiplying that number by 1.5. We can find our number, therefore, by dividing 9,000 by 1.5:

$9,000 \div 1.5 = 6,000$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part

is a multiple of 2, but not a multiple of 6. If is divided by 6, What could be the remainder?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If the remainder of dividing by 6 is 0, then must be a multiple of 6, which contradicts what we are given.

Suppose we call and the quotient and remainder, respectively, of dividing by 6. Then

$6 \cdot Q + R = X$

If the remainder is 1, then

$6 \cdot Q + 1 = X$

$6 \cdot Q$ , as a product of two integers, one even, is an even number; if 1 is added, the result is odd. Therefore, if 1 is the remainder, is odd, which also contradicts what we are given about . 1 cannot be the remainder, and for similar reasons, neither can 3.

This leaves 2, which can be the remainder; for example, 8, which is a multiple of 2, but not a multiple of 6, yields a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 2 when divided by 2.
