Section 1: Mathematical Reasoning and Quantitative Problems
(Questions 1-80)
Question 1
If 60% of a number is 90, what is the number?
A. 120
B. 130
C. 140
D. 150
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Let the number be x. The equation is 0.60x = 90. Solving for x: x = 90 ÷
0.60 = 150.
Question 2
,To make a dozen cookies, Trish needs 1/4 cup of butter. She wants to make 9
dozen cookies. How much butter does she need?
A. 3 cups
B. 2 1/4 cups
C. 2 cups
D. 2 1/2 cups
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1/4 cup per dozen multiplied by 9 dozen equals 9/4 cups, which
simplifies to 2 1/4 cups.
Question 3
A race car travels 100 feet in 0.5 seconds. At this rate of speed, how many feet will
the race car travel in a minute?
A. 15,000 feet
B. 16,000 feet
C. 11,000 feet
D. 12,000 feet
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Speed = 100 feet ÷ 0.5 seconds = 200 feet per second. Distance in 1
minute = 200 × 60 = 12,000 feet.
Question 4
There are 4 times as many used cars in the car dealership lot as there are new cars.
There are 120 cars total in the dealership lot. How many new cars are in the
dealership lot?
A. 25
B. 24
C. 26
D. 27
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Let new cars = X. Used cars = 4X. Total = 4X + X = 120. 5X = 120, so
X = 24.
Question 5

with a profit of $50 per shovel. How many shovels were involved?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 55
D. 73
,Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Total profit = $7,300 - $5,500 = $1,800. Number of shovels = $1,800 ÷
$50 = 36.
Question 6
What is 15% of 200?
A. 20
B. 25
C. 30
D. 35
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 15% of 200 = (15/100) × 200 = 30.

A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to 5 cups of sugar. How much flour is needed for
15 cups of sugar?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7

of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there in the safari?
A. 22
B. 31
C. 43
D. 66

giraffes. Elephants = 3 × 22 = 66.
Question 9
A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes?
A. 9 miles
B. 11 miles
C. 13.25 miles
, D. 21.25 miles

it after the raise was implemented?
A. $1,225
B. $1,500

A. 9
B. 13
C. 10
D. 20
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The pattern alternates: +10, -5, +3, +2, -4. The next operation after -4 is
+9, giving 11 + 9 = 20.
Question 12
A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of
17 cars were sold for $191,000, how many of the cars sold were used?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 8
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Let used cars = x, new cars = 17 - x. Equation: 7,000x + 16,000(17 - x)
= 191,000. Solving: 7,000x + 272,000 - 16,000x = 191,000. -9,000x = -81,000, x =
9. Used cars = 9, new cars = 8. Wait, checking: 9 used = $63,000; 8 new =
$128,000; total = $191,000. The correct answer is 9 used cars, but since 9 is not an
option, the answer is F (None of these). However, the provided options do not
include 9, so the correct answer is F. For this question, the correct answer is F
(None of these).
