Answers
(1) c. $ 26075

Step 1
Total number of days in a year (not a leap year) = 365 days

Step 2
Total number of Sundays in the given year = 52

Step 3
Working days for Richard = 365 - 52 = 313 days

Step 4
Annual salary of Richard = $326459
Annual salary
Richard's daily earning =
Number of working days
326459
=
313
= $1043

Step 5
Number of days in June = 30 days
Number of Sundays in the month June = 5 days
Number of working days in the month of June = 30 - 5 = 25 days
Salary for the month of June = Number of working days in the month June × single day wage
= 25 × 1043
= $26075

Step 6
Hence, Richard earned $26075 in the month of June last year.

(2) d. 40000

Step 1
Rounding off 83 and 498 individually to their nearest tens gives us 80 and 500 respectively.

Step 2
Multiplying the numbers, we get 80 × 500 = 40000

Step 3
Hence, the product estimated by Helen is 40000.

(3) b. east

Step 1
The following picture shows the relation between the four directions:

Step 2
It is given that Ruth is facing south. Therefore, she should be sitting as follows,

Step 3
It is also given that Edward is sitting on the left-hand side of Ruth. Also, all the four are sitting in
different directions and facing the center. Therefore, he should be sitting as follows,

Step 4
Anthony is Ruth's partner, he should be sitting opposite to Ruth.

Step 5
Kevin is Edward's partner, and he should be sitting opposite to Edward.

Step 6
Now, we can see that Kevin is facing the east direction.

(4) c. Co-prime

We know that co-prime numbers are the numbers that have their highest common factor as 1.
e.g. 14 and 15, both of them have no other common factor except 1.

(5) 32000

Step 1
Rounding off 36 and 803 individually to their nearest tens gives us 40 and 800 respectively.

Step 2
Multiplying the numbers, we get 40 × 800 = 32000

Step 3
Hence, the product estimated by Edward is 32000.

(6) 99:14

Step 1
According to the question, in a store, the workers start their work daily at 07:30 AM and end at
04:55 PM.
Total working time including breaks = 04:55 PM - 07:30 AM
= 9 hours 25 minutes
= 565 minutes

Step 2
Time for lunch break = 40 minutes
Time for coffee break = 15 minutes
Since, there are two coffee breaks, the total time for coffee breaks = 2 × 15 = 30 minutes
Total break time = Time for lunch break + Time for coffee breaks
= 40 + 30 = 70 minutes

Step 3
Total working time without breaks = 565 - 70 = 495 minutes

Step 4
Now, the ratio of the time they spend on working to the time they spend on breaks,
Time spent on work
=
Time spent on breaks
495
=
70
= 99:14

Step 5
Therefore, the ratio of the time spent on working to the time spent on breaks is 99:14.

(7) $1800

Step 1

From 1 st equation, we can see that value of 2 shirts is $1600.

1600
Therefore, value of one shirt = = $800
2

Step 2

From 2 nd equation we can now find the value of a tshirt as follows:

= $800 - 200 = $600

Step 3
Now, we can find value of 3 tshirts:

+ + = $3 × 600

+ + = $1800

(8) 26

Step 1

The position of George is 8 th from the front, which means there are 7 people standing before him.

Step 2

His position is 19th from the back, which means there are 18 people standing behind him.

Step 3
So, the total number of people standing in the row is 7 (front) + 18 (back) + 1 (George) = 26.

(9) 07:25 hours

Step 1
When the hour hand is between 7 and 8, and the minute hand is at 5, the clock will display the
time as shown below.

Step 2
Since hour hand is after 7, clock is showing 7 hours.

Step 3
Since minute hand is at 5, clock is showing 5 × 5 = 25 minutes

Step 4
Therefore, time shown by clock is 07:25 hours.

(10) 18

Step 1

Let us consider the last equation. It says that cost of 1 is $11

Step 2
The second equation is:

+ + = $49

And the first equation is:

+ + + = $62

We observe here that the first equation can be easily replaced here to get:

$49 + = $62

Which means that the cost of will be $62 - $49 = $13.

Step 3

Substituting the value of in equation third.

We have,

+ $13 + $13 + $13 = $57

or, = $57 - $39 = $18

Step 4

Thus, the cost of one will be $18.
