D. Germs
E. Shiny - ANS - The correct answer is C). Soap is used for cleaning as medicine is
used for curing
________ is to JUICE as WHEAT is to BREAD
A. Water
B. Pitcher

D. Soda
E. Orange - ANS - The correct answer is (E). An orange is used to produce juice like
wheat is used to produce bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be
processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A).

17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that are
curable?
A. 17%
B. 72%
,C. 85%
D. 87%
E. 90%
F. None of these - ANS - The correct answer is (C). In order to find out how much is
17 out of 20 in percentage, we need to reach a denominator of 100 (a percent is simply
a fraction with a denominator of 100). In order to do this we multiply the fraction 17/20
by 5 and reach 85/100 which is 85%.
42 x 0 x 6 =

c. 8
d. 10
e. 13 - ANS - e. 13
A biker travels 5 feet in 0.5 seconds. At this exact speed, how far will the biker travel in
a minute?

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
E. 10
, F. None of these - ANS - The correct answer is (F) - None of the above.
First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by a
common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying zeroes.
Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new cars as N (with
a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first representing the total price
and the second the total amount of cars:
a. 7U+16N=191
b. N+U= 17
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in the first
equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were sold.
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.
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
E. 22.75 miles
F. None of these - ANS - The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60 minutes. A
quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per
hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25.
A copy machine repairman makes $12.50 per hour plus $4 for every service call he
performs. Last week he worked 34 hours and made 6 service calls. How much money
did he make?
a. $449
b. $334
c. $428
