raffes, how many
elephants are As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes.

7. A car dealership The correct answer is (F) - None of the above.
sells used cars for
$7,000 and new First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by
cars for $16,000. a common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying
If a total of 17 zeroes. Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new
cars were sold for cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first
$191,000, how representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars:
many of the cars
a. 7U+16N=191
sold were used?
b. N+U= 17
A. 2
B. 3
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in the
C. 5
first equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars
D. 8
were sold.
E. 10
F. None of these Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by elimination. For starters, since
191 is an odd number and 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars
must be odd (even+odd=odd) - which means we can eliminate answers A, D & E.

Now that we are left only with B and C, let's try to calculate it for each of these
options:
*. 3*7 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer.
*. 5*7 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer.
Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the above.
