Q. If the principal amount is $1000 and the rate of interest is 5% per annum, what will be the simple interest for 3 years?

A. $150
B. $100
C. $50
D. $75

Solution

Q. If the profit on selling a bicycle for $240 is 20%, what was the cost price?

A. $180
B. $200
C. $220
D. $240

Solution

Let Cost Price = x. Then, Selling Price = x + 0.2x = 1.2x. 1.2x = 240, x = 240/1.2 = 200.

Q. If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:2 and there are 30 boys, how many girls are there?

A. 20
B. 25
C. 15
D. 10

Solution

Let the number of girls be x. Then, 3/2 = 30/x => x = (2/3) * 30 = 20.

Correct Answer: A — 20

Q. If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:5 and there are 36 boys, how many girls are there?

A. 45
B. 40
C. 50
D. 30

A. $1000
B. $1200
C. $900
D. $800

Solution

Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time / 100. Let Principal = P. Then, 150 = P * 5 * 3 / 100. Solving gives P = 150 * 100 / 15 = 1000.
