_______________________________________________

Answer for Question number 106-125


106. A: The area of the room is equal to the product of 10 ft and 12 ft, or 120 ft². 120 ft² = 13.3 yd², so the total cost is equal to the product of the area of the room, or 13.3 yd² and $12.51 (the cost per square yard). It will cost $166.80 to carpet the room.

107. A: The perimeter of the house is equal to 132 feet, since there are 3 feet in 1 yard. The perimeter of the house may be represented by the equation, 2l + 2w = 132. Substituting 36 for l gives 2(36) + 2w = 132. Solving for w gives w = 30, which is measured in feet. 30 feet = 10 yards, so the width of the house is also equal to 10 yards.

108. B: The volume of a cylinder is represented by the equation, V=πr2 h, where r represents the radius and h represents the height. Substituting 3 for r and 8 for h gives V=π(3)2 (8), or V = 72π. Thus, the volume is approximately 226.2 cubic units.

109. E: The volume of a cube is represented by the equation, V=s3, where s represents one side length. Substituting 5 for s gives V=53, or V = 125. The volume of the cube is 125 cubic inches.

110. D: The sum of the material is equal to 7 yd, 5 ft, 19 in, which may also be written as 7 yd, 6 ft, 7 in, or 9 ft, 7 in.

111. B: The volume of a cylinder is represented by the equation, V=πr2h, where r represents the radius and h represents the height. Substituting 1.5 for r and 8 for h gives V=π(1.5)2 (8), or V = 18π. Thus, the volume is approximately 56.55 cubic inches.

112. C: The area of a square is represented by the formula, A=s2. Substituting 16 for A gives: 16=s2. Solving for s shows each side length to be 4 feet. Thus, the perimeter is equal to the product of 4 and 4 ft, or 16 ft.

113. B: Liters measure capacity and are appropriate for the size of a bathtub. Milliliters are also a measurement of capacity, but are too small a measurement for such a large container.

114. D: A length of 0.17 feet is equal to 2.04 inches. The following proportion may be used to determine the length, in inches: 0.17/x=1/12. A length of 2.1875 inches is the closest to this measurement.

115. A: The area may be represented as A = WL, measured in yards, or A = 9WL, measured in feet. Thus, the charge is equal to the product of 9WL and 0.10 or 0.9WL.

116. C: The following proportion may be used to find the measurement, in centimeters: 1/2.54=76/x. Solving for x gives x = 193.04. The man is 193.04 cm tall.

117. A: The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of the length, width, and height. Thus, the volume of the room may be represented as V=11.12.9, which equals 1188 ft³.

118. B: The number of mg left is equal to the difference of 500 mg and 325 mg, or 175 mg.

119. C: The following proportion may be used to find the number of mL to be given: 4/5=20/x. Solving for x gives x = 25. Thus, 25 mL need to be given.

120. C: The product of these dimensions is 1,680 ft³ (14 ft × 20 ft × 6 ft), thus this aquarium meets the required volume.
121. C: The equation, x-0.10x-0.15(x-0.10x)=306, may be used to solve the problem. Solving for x gives 0.90x - 0.15x + 0.015x = 306, where x = 400. Thus, the original price was $400.

122. B: The equation may be solved by first distributing the y across the expression, x - 1, on the left side of the equation. Doing so gives: xy - y = Z. Adding y to both sides of the equation gives: xy = Z + y. Finally, division of both sides of the equation by y gives: x=(Z+y)/y or x=Z/y+1.

123. B: This problem illustrates the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The factor being distributed may not change.

124. D: The measure of the third angle of the triangle is equal to 180°-(15° + 85°), or 80°.

125. C: Since there are 32 ounces in 2 pounds (16 ounces = 1 pound), the following proportion may be written: 5/140=32/x . Solving for x gives x = 896. Thus, there are 896 grams in 2 pounds of meat.

Answers With  Explanations
25. C: The formula for simple interest is I = Prt, where I represents the interest amount, P represents the principal, r represents the rate, and t represents the length of time. Substituting 600 for I, 2500 for P, and 0.06 for r gives: 600 = 2500(0.06)t. Solving for t gives t = 4. So, she will have to wait 4 years for her principal to earn $600 in interest.

26. D: If she only takes out 12 jellybeans, blue jellybeans may remain in her pocket. However, is she takes out 13 jellybeans, she is ensured that one of each color will have been taken out.

27. A: Solving the first equation for Z gives r/5=Z. Substituting this value of Z into the second equation gives 15(r/5)=3y, which simplifies to 3r = 3y. Dividing both sides of the equation by 3 gives r = y.

28 C: The second part of the problem may be modeled with the equation, 12 = 0.15x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15 gives x = 80. 35% of 80 may be written as 0.35(80), which equals 28.

29. C: The problem may be modeled with the equation, x - 0.20x = 1600, which simplifies to 0.80x = 1600. Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.80 gives x = 2000. The original cost of the computer was $2000.

30. B: The cost of the SUV to the dealer may be represented by the equation, 39000 = x + 0.25x, which simplifies to 39000 = 1.25x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.25 gives x = 31,200.

31. E: The problem may be modeled by the expression, 49000 - 0.20(49000), which equals 39,200. Thus, he sold the car for $39,200.

32. B: The problem may be modeled with the equation, 1/4+1/6+1/2=1/t, which simplifies to 11/12=1/t. Solving for t gives t=12/11. Thus, they can finish the work in 1.09 days, when working together.

33. D: The quotient of 12 divided by 12 is 1. The quotient of 0.12 divided by 12 equals 0.01, since the decimal point in 0.12 is moved two places to the left.

34. D: When dividing terms, with the same base, the exponents should be subtracted. So, x5/x2 =x3.

35. B: The integer, 1, is a natural number. The natural numbers are a subset of the set of whole numbers, and the set of whole numbers are a subset of the set of rational numbers. Thus, the integer, 1, is a natural number, whole number, and rational number.

36. C: 4 occurs in the list three times, which is more than any other frequency, thus it is the mode.

37. D: This set contains the element, 0, which would result in division by zero.

38. C: The number of cups of sugar she needs is equal to the sum of 3/8 and 3/5, or 39/40. The amount of sugar she has and the amount she needs may be compared by finding a common denominator. Doing so gives the fractions, 78/80 and 75/80, showing that she needs 3/80 cup more of sugar.

39. B: The attendance of employees and their spouses may be modeled by the expression, 1/2+1/3, which equals 5/6. Thus, 1/6, or 16.7%, of the attendees were not employees or spouses.

40. C: The GPA may be represented as ((2.3)+(3.2)+(4.4)+(3.4))/13, which is approximately 3.08.

41. D: The problem may be modeled by the proportion, 8/(1/2)=x/(7 3/4). Solving for x gives x = 124. Thus, there are 124 ounces in 7 3/4 pounds.

42. E: Tripling X and Y gives 3XZ/3Y, which reduces to XZ/Y, which is the same as the given fraction.

43. E: The pattern is a geometric sequence, with a common ratio of 1/2. Multiplication of 1/8 by 1/2 gives 1/16, or the next number in the pattern.

44. B: Liters is the most reasonable measurement for capacity of water in a bathtub.

45. D: The proportion, 0.17/x=1/12, may be used to find the length, in inches. Thus, the length of the match box is 2.04 inches. The length of 2 3/16 is closest to this length.

46. B: 1/200=0.005, which equals 0.5%.

47. C: Movement of 4 units to the left and 5 units up gives the ordered pair, (6, 8). Note. 4 is subtracted from the x-value of 10 and 5 is added to the y-value of 3.

48. A: The average may be written as 28.49/7, which equals 4.07. Thus, his average cost per day was $4.07.

49. E: The unit of cups is the most reasonable measurement for measuring the capacity of sugar.

50. C: The inequality may be written as 42 > x ≥ 40. A length of 3 3/8 feet equals 40.5 inches, which satisfies the required conditions of the inequality.

51. D: The problem may be modeled with the expression, 750 + 0.15(750), which equals 862.50. Thus, his asking price would be $862.50.

52. A: The ratio, 300/x, represents the number of jellybeans purchased for x dollars. Since 50 cents is one-half of a dollar, the ratio, 150/x, will represent the number of jellybeans that may be purchased at the same rate.

53. B: The first part of the problem may be modeled with the equation, 6 = 0.24x, where x represents the number to be determined. Solving for x gives x = 25. 40% of 25 is written as 0.40(25), which equals 10.

54. B: The following proportion may be written and solved for x: 22/132=15/x; x = 90.

55. A: The percent increase may be written as (19-12)/12, which equals 7/12, or approximately 58%.

56. C: The first equation may be solved for x. Doing so gives x = 6. Substituting 6 for x, into the expression, 5x + 3, gives 5(6) + 3, or 33.

57. C: The equation, 3002+4002=c2, may be used to solve the problem. Note. After 2 hours, the one plane has ascended 300 miles, while the other plane has traveled 400 miles. Solving the equation for c gives c = 500. Thus, they will be 500 miles apart.

58. A: The area, in feet, may be represented as A = (3W)(3L), or A = 9WL. Since the cost is $0.10 per square foot, the cost will be equal to 9WL × 0.10, or 0.9WL.

59. D: Moving the decimal 9 places to the right involves adding 7 zeros. Doing so gives 8,230,000,000.

60. E: The numbers of visitors for Thursday through Sunday are 345, 1035, 3105, and 9315.

GMAT Test Answer Key with explanation

1. B. Simply substitute the given values for a and b perform the required operations.

2. C. This problem is solved by finding x in this equation: 34/80 = x/100.

3. C. Every possible combination of scores is a multiple of 7, since the two terms of the ratio have a sum of seven.

4. E. To solve this problem, work backwards. That is, perform FOIL on each answer choice until you derive the original expression.

5. A. A set of six numbers with an average of 4 must have a collective sum of 24. The two numbers that average 2 will add up to 4, so the remaining numbers must add up to 20. The average of these four numbers can be calculated: 20/4 = 5.

6. C. Prime numbers are those that are only evenly divisible by one and themselves.

7. D. Simple Multiplication.

8. D. Multiply 30 by 0.2 and subtract this from the original price of the shirt to find the sale price: $24. Then multiply 24 by 0.2 and add the product to the sale price to find the final price.

9. C. There are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard. Four and a half yards is equal to 162 inches. To determine the number of 3-inche segments, divide 162 by 3.

10. A. If it takes 3 people 3 1/3 days to do the job, then it would take one person 10 days: 10
3*3 ½=10 thus, it would take 2 people 5 days, and one day of work for two people would complete 1/5 of the job.

11. E. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so Dave can deliver 240 newspapers every hour. In 2 hours, then, he can deliver 480 papers.

12. C. Since 4 is the same as 22, 46 = 212. When dividing exponents with the same base, simply subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator

13. A. Convert 20% to the fraction 1/5, then multiply by 12/5. The resulting fraction, 12/25, must have both numerator and denominator multiplied by 4 to become a percentage.

14. E. This problem can be solved with the following equation, in which x = the total capacity of the tank: 1/2x=1/3x+3

Data sufficiency
15. E. The two statements establish only that Alice is paid more than both Jonathan and Deborah; they do not indicate which of these latter two is paid more.

16. A. Since the cubes of a and b will retain the original sign (whether positive or negative), it will be possible to assess the relative sizes of a and b.

17. A. If the two shorter sides add up to 4 inches in length, the two longer sides must be greater than 4 inches, meaning that the perimeter will be greater than 8 inches.

18. B. The first statement only establishes that a is a positive number; it does not require that a is an integer.

19. C. 60 is the only integer between 40 and 70 that is a multiple of 2, 4, and 5.

20. A. The first statement establishes that the larger group constitutes half of the total amount of marbles, which means it must be equal to 25 marbles.

21. D. For (1), the fact that a positive number multiplied by b has a positive product establishes that b is a positive number. For (2), any positive number with a negative sign placed in front of it will become negative, indicating that b is a positive number.

22. B. It would be possible for x and y to be negative numbers and still satisfy the conditions of (1), but it then would be impossible to satisfy (2).

23. C. As long as the sum of all five test scores can be calculated, it will be possible to calculate the average score.

24. C. In order for (1) to be true, y must be either positive or zero. Therefore, according to the terms of (2), y must be odd.
