Answer: D

5. 5719x to be divisible by 2, 3, and 6 must follow the divisibility rule for 2, 3, and 6.
Divisibility rule for 2: last digit must be an even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8)
Divisibility rule for 3: sum of all digits must be divisible by 3.
Divisibility rule for 6: must follow the divisibility rule for 2 and 3.
Applying the divisibility rule for 6, we now get the sum of all digits to check if this number is divisible by 3.
5+7+1+9+x = 22+x, since we need an even number for the last digit so that it can be divisible by 2, x = 2 so that
22 + 2 = 24, 24 is divisible by 3.

Answer: A

15. 2:3, ratio of men to women. Let k = constant which we will use as multiplier to the ratio
350
2k  3k  350  5k  350  k   k  70 the total number of women in the concert is (70)(3) = 210

Answer: B

16. 6:5:4 – ratio of apples, banana, & peaches respectively. Let k = constant which we will use as multiplier to the ratio
225
6k  5k  4k  225  15k  225  k   k  15
15
weight of apple = (6)(15) = 90, weight of banana = (5)(15) = 75, weight of peaches = (4)(15) = 60
weight of apple – weight of peaches = 90 – 60 = 30 grams
Answer: A

17. 24 hours – 9 hours (sleeping) = 15 hours (awake)

30% of 15 hours = 0.3 x 15 = 4.5 hours per day reading a novel
4.5 x 14 days/2 weeks = 63 hours reading novels in 2 weeks
63  7 hours/novel = 9 novels she can read in 2 weeks
Answer: B

18. let OP = original price

discounted price = OP – 0.1OP = 0.9OP
tax = 0.9OP x 0.1 = 0.09OP
amount paid = discounted price + tax = 0.9OP + 0.09OP = 0.99OP
Answer: C

19. let P = original cost of car

23. five consecutive integers: x, x +1, x + 2, x +3, x + 4

25
x   x  1   x  2    x  3   x  4   35  5 x  10  35  5 x  35  10  5 x  25  x   x5
5
so the five consecutive integers are: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
let check if their sum is 35: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 11 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 18 + 8 + 9 = 26 + 9 = 35
the prime numbers are 5 and 7.
Answer: C

24. six consecutive integers: x, x +1, x + 2, x +3, x + 4, x + 5

3
so the six consecutive integers are: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
The sum of last three integers: 11 + 12 + 13 = 36
