Answer Key

Give yourself one independent practice point for each correct answer.

Do not convert the result into an official Criteria percentile or passing decision.

Answer Explanations

Question 1: C - 42

Division and multiplication first:

84 ÷ 7 = 12
6 × 5 = 30
12 + 30 = 42

Question 2: C - 63

30% of 180 = 54
5% of 180 = 9
54 + 9 = 63

Question 3: C - 16

Managers scale from 7 to 28 by a factor of 4.

4 × 4 = 16 analysts

Question 4: D - 25

Required total:

5 × 24 = 120

Known total:

19 + 21 + 27 + 28 = 95

Missing number:

120 - 95 = 25

Question 5: C - 48

Differences are:

+5, +7, +9, +11

Next difference is +13:

35 + 13 = 48

Question 6: C - 216

Hourly rate:

144 ÷ 6 = 24

Nine hours:

24 × 9 = 216

Question 7: C - 9

5x - 7 = 38
5x = 45
x = 9

Question 8: A - 5/8

Convert:

5/8 = 0.625
0.61 = 0.610
3/5 = 0.600
62% = 0.620
0.59 = 0.590

The greatest is 0.625.

Question 9: C - 20%

Decrease:

240 - 192 = 48

Divide by original:

48 ÷ 240 = 0.20

Question 10: C - $45

Unit price:

30 ÷ 8 = 3.75

Twelve folders:

3.75 × 12 = 45

Question 11: C - 26

Operations alternate:

×2, -2, ×2, -2, ×2, -2

28 - 2 = 26

Question 12: D - 32

Total ratio parts:

2 + 3 + 4 = 9

One part:

72 ÷ 9 = 8

Largest team:

4 × 8 = 32

Question 13: C - 5.00

2.40 + 0.75 = 3.15
3.15 + 1.85 = 5.00

Question 14: D - 170 km

68 × 2.5 = 68 × 2 + 68 × 0.5
= 136 + 34
= 170

Question 15: C - 120

The final value is 125% of the original:

150 ÷ 1.25 = 120

Check:

25% of 120 = 30
120 + 30 = 150

Question 16: C - 7

Monday:

26 + 34 + 18 = 78

Tuesday:

31 + 29 + 25 = 85

Difference:

85 - 78 = 7

Question 17: E - 11/20

Convert:

7/10 = 0.70
2/3 ≈ 0.667
5/8 = 0.625
3/5 = 0.60
11/20 = 0.55

The smallest is 11/20.

Question 18: C - 288

Original machine-hours:

4 × 6 = 24

Output per machine-hour:

288 ÷ 24 = 12

New machine-hours:

6 × 4 = 24

Output remains:

24 × 12 = 288

Question 19: C - 42

The terms are consecutive products:

1×2, 2×3, 3×4, 4×5, 5×6

Next:

6 × 7 = 42

Question 20: D - 272

Sold:

15% of 320 = 10% + 5%
= 32 + 16
= 48

Remaining:

320 - 48 = 272
