Question 12
If a class begins at 2:21pm and ends at 4:36pm the same afternoon, how many minutes long is the class?
From 2:21pm to 4:21pm is 2 hours = 120 minutes.
From 4:21pm to 4:36pm is 15 minutes.
Total duration = 120 + 15 = 135 minutes.
From 4:21pm to 4:36pm is 15 minutes.
Total duration = 120 + 15 = 135 minutes.

Question 13
If two typists can type two pages in two minutes, how many typists will it take to type 18 pages in six minutes?
Two typists type 2 pages in 2 minutes ⟹ 1 typist types 1 page in 2 minutes.
Thus, 1 typist types \(\dfrac{6}{2} = 3\) pages in 6 minutes.
To type 18 pages, number of typists = \(\dfrac{18}{3} = 6\).
Thus, 1 typist types \(\dfrac{6}{2} = 3\) pages in 6 minutes.
To type 18 pages, number of typists = \(\dfrac{18}{3} = 6\).

Question 14
The enrollments at College X and College Y both grew by 8 percent from 1980 to 1985. If the enrollment at College X grew by 800 and the enrollment at College Y grew by 840, the enrollment at College Y was how much greater than the enrollment at College X in 1985?
Growth for College X = 8% of X = 800 ⟹ X = 10000.
Growth for College Y = 8% of Y = 840 ⟹ Y = 10500.
Difference = 10500 − 10000 = 500.
Growth for College Y = 8% of Y = 840 ⟹ Y = 10500.
Difference = 10500 − 10000 = 500.

Question 15
A box is filled with cookies ranging in weight from 3.2 grams to 3.8 grams. How many cookies are in the box?
(1) The gross weight of the box and the cookies is 130 grams.
(2) The net weight of the cookies is 112 grams.
(1) The gross weight of the box and the cookies is 130 grams.
(2) The net weight of the cookies is 112 grams.
Statement 1 gives only total + box weight, insufficient.
Statement 2 gives only total cookie weight, but not individual cookie weight or box weight.
Both statements together still do not provide the average weight of each cookie. Therefore, not enough facts are given.

Question 16
What is 200% of 0.010?
\(200\% = \dfrac{200}{100} = 2\).
\(2 \times 0.010 = 0.020\).
\(2 \times 0.010 = 0.020\).

Question 17
If \(\dfrac{3}{p} = 6\) and \(\dfrac{3}{q} = 15\) then \(p - q = ?\)
From \(\dfrac{3}{p} = 6\), we get \(p = \dfrac{3}{6} = 0.5\).
From \(\dfrac{3}{q} = 15\), we get \(q = \dfrac{3}{15} = 0.2\).
\(p - q = 0.5 - 0.2 = 0.3 = \dfrac{3}{10}\).
From \(\dfrac{3}{q} = 15\), we get \(q = \dfrac{3}{15} = 0.2\).
\(p - q = 0.5 - 0.2 = 0.3 = \dfrac{3}{10}\).

A: 40% of 30 = 12.
B: \(\dfrac{3}{5} \times 25 = 15\).
C: 6.5% of 200 = 13.
D: Five more than \(3^2 = 9\) → 9 + 5 = 14.
Greatest = 15.

Question 19
If the value of XYZ Company stock drops from \$25 per share to \$21 per share, what is the percent of the decrease?
Decrease = \$25 − \$21 = \$4.
Percentage decrease = \(\dfrac{4}{25} \times 100 = 16\%\).
Percentage decrease = \(\dfrac{4}{25} \times 100 = 16\%\).

Question 20
What is the greatest value of a positive integer n such that 3n is a factor of 1815?
Prime factorisation: \(1815 = 3 \times 5 \times 11 \times 11 = 3^1 \times 5^1 \times 11^2\).
Let n = 11 which is the greates of the factors of 1815.Â
Then 3n = 3 * 11 = 33.
1815 / 33 = 55.
Thus 33 is also a factor.
