Sylvia can buy watches at a price of M dollars per watch, which she marks up by a certain percentage before selling. If she makes a total profit of X by selling Y watches, then in terms of M and X and Y, what is the percent of the markup from her buy price to her sell price? Choose one. A) 100*(YM) B) 100X*(YM) C) 100X/(YM) D) 100X-(YM) E) 100X+(YM)
Algebraic Solution:If she makes a total profit of X for Y watches, then that must be a profit of X/Y for each watch. That must be the markup above cost on each watch, the amount of the increase. Well, percent increase = (amount of increase)/(starting amount) x 100% = (X/Y)/M *100 = 100X/(YM) Answer : 100X/(YM) <result>C</result>

Which of the following is the sum of all the positive integers that MUST be factors of the sum of the integers in list L? Choose the correct choice: A) 47 B) 114 C) 152 D) 161 E) 488
Sum = (100A + 10B + C) + (100B + 10C + A) + (100C + 10A + B) = 111*(A + B + C). So, we have that the sum will be a multiple of 111=3*37. As for A + B + C: if A=1, B=2 and C=4, then A + B + C = 7, so the sum will also be divisible by 7 BUT if A=1, B=2 and C=8, then A + B + C = 11, so the sum will also be divisible by 11. This implies that A + B + C will not produce the same factors for all possible values of A, B and C. Therefore, we can say that 111*(A + B + C) MUST be divisible only by 111 --&gt; so, by 1, 3, 37, and 111 --&gt; 1 + 3 + 37 + 111 = 152. Answer: 152. <result>C</result>

Baseball's World Series matches 2 teams against each other in a best-of-seven series. The first team to win four games wins the series and no subsequent games are played. If you have no special information about either of the teams, what is the probability E that the World Series will consist of fewer than 7 games? Select the correct option A) 12.5% B) 25% C) 31.25% D) 68.75% E) 75%
Your explanation is very close toManhattan GMAT's official answer - it's quite uncanny: "There are many other ways this could happen. Using the permutation formula, there are 6!/(3!)(3!) = 20 ways for the two teams to split the first 6 games (3 wins for each). There are then 2 possible outcomes to break the tie in Game 7. Thus, there are a total of 202 = 40 ways for the World Series to last the full 7 games. The probability that any one of these 40 ways occurs can be calculated from the fact that the probability of a team winning a game equals the probability of a team losing a game = 1/2. Given that 7 distinct events must happen in any 7 game series, and that each of these events has a probability of 1/2, the probability that any one particular 7 game series occurs is. Since there are 40 possible different 7 game series, the probability that the World Series will last exactly 7 games is: (1/2)^7 = 1/128 40*1/128 = 40/128 = 31.25% Thus the probability E that the World Series will last less than 7 games is 100% - 31.25% = 68.75%.

A soccer store typically sells replica jerseys at a discount of 30 percent to 50 percent off list price. During the annual summer sale, everything in the store is an additional 20 percent off the original list price. If a replica jersey's list price is $80, approximately what percent of the list price is the lowest possible sale price? Choose the correct choice from the following options A) 20 B) 25 C) 30 D) 40 E) 50
Let the list price be 2x for min sale price, the first discount given should be 50%, 2x becomes x here now, during summer sale additional 20% off is given ie sale price becomes 0.8x it is given lise price is $80 =&gt; 2x = 80 =&gt; x = 40 and 0.8x = 32 so lowest sale price is 32, which is 40% of 80 hence, 40 is the answer <result>D</result>

Explanation : Let the number of ducks be d and number of cows be c Then, total number of legs = 2d + 4c = 2(d + 2c) total number of heads = c + d Given that total number of legs are 28 more than twice the number of heads =&gt; 2(d + 2c) = 28 + 2(c + d) =&gt; d + 2c = 14 + c + d =&gt; 2c = 14 + c =&gt; c = 14 i.e., total number of cows = 14 14nswer : 14 <result>A</result>

Since i is an integer so i cannot have a 2 and sqrt 3 (because squaring this will give us a 2^2 and 3 (making the product as 12, and making i^2 as a multiple of 12)) i^2 is divisible by 12 (12 = 2*2*3), So, i should have at least one 2 and one 3 so that i^2 has a 2^2 and two 3 So, i will have a 2 and a 3. Or i will be a multiple of 6 So, largest possible integer than should divide i^3 is 6^3 So, Answer will be 6^3 <result>D</result>

A number has exactly 32 factors out of which 4 are not composite. Product of these 4 factors (which are not composite) is 30. How many such numbers D are possible? Choose the correct choice from the following A) 2 B) 4 C) 6 D) 3 E) Not possible
Firstly , we should note that 1 is NEITHER a prime nor a composite number.The first composite number is 4.Thus, when the problem states that there are 4 factors that are not composite, these nos are 1,2,3,5. Thus, the given number = 2^a*3^b*5^c. Also, (a+1)*(b+1)*(c+1) = 32. We can break down 32 into 3 integers as : 2*2*8 or 4*4*2 Also, the only possible combinations for a,b,c are : 3,3,1 OR 1,1,7. Thus, each combination has 3 possible orders and we have a total D of 6 possibilities. 6. <result>C</result>
