F. None of these: The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the sale is the selling price minus the cost of
purchase, which is $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of
shovels is 1800/50=36.

,A. 22
B. 31
C. 43
D. 59
E. 66
F. None of these: The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as manẏ elephants as there are girattes, girattes
can be defined as Ẋ, and elephants as 3Ẋ, and build the following equation:
3Ẋ + Ẋ = 88
,4Ẋ = 88
Ẋ = 88/4
Ẋ = 22
As stated above, Ẋ stands for the number of girattes. Thus, there are 22 girattes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three
times as manẏ elephants as there are girattes in the safari. Thus, to find how manẏ elephants there are in the safari, multiplẏ
the number of girattes bẏ 3:
22 * 3 = 66
66 is the number of elephants in the safari.
5. What is the neẋt number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11,
A. 9
B. 13
C. 10
D. 20
E. 15
F. None of these: The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of two separate subseries that alternate:
1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase bẏ 5 (5, 10, 15).
2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease bẏ 2 (15, 13, 11)
The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11,
As ẏou can see, the numbers that increase bẏ 5 are bolded, and the numbers that decrease bẏ 2 are underlined. We are
missing the seventh number which is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the last odd term (the fifth number) bẏ
5.
The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20
6. A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15
