The most logical answer following from the pattern of numbers in the grid is 35 Question 3: B
Carton 1: 6 × 600 = 3,600 g (3.6 kg)
Carton 2: 12 × 200 = 2,400 g (2.4 kg) 3,600 + 2,400 = !3,000 2 Note the answer is not 3,000 Carton 1: 3,600 - 600 = 3,000 Carton 2: 2,400 + 600 =3,000 1 canned drink, which weighs 600 grams must be taken from the first carton and added to the other, so both carry equal load i.e. 3 kg (3,000 grams) Question 4: C

" d = 5440 t =? 544 = 5440/t t = 10 Therefore the trip to London took 10 hours. Question 14: C
Simple interest formula:
Simple interest (I) = Principal (P) ×Rate (R) × Time (T) P = $16,000 R = 9/100 T = 90/360 (Note: September 6 to December 5 equals 90 days) I = $16,000 × 9/100 × 90/360 = $360.00 On December 5, Alan must pay $16,360(principal: $16,000 + Interest: $360)
Question 15: C
The most logical answer following from the pattern of numbers in each rectangle is 9 Operations in rectangle 2: 650!–!40 = 610 13−4 = 9 Operations in rectangle 3: 610−30 = 580 9−3 = 6 Operations in rectangle 4: 580−20 = 560 6−2 = 4 Question 16: C
Refer to the completed number grid. The pattern from top to bottom is +13, +12
The first step is to find out what percentage the remaining workers (85) constitute: Let x represent the percentage of workers who are 40 years or older (i.e. 85 workers) 60% < 35 years old ! !" = 4% = 35 years old ! 35 years old < !" = 2% < 40 years old 60% + 4% +2% + x = 100% 66% + x = 100% x = 100% - 66% x = 34%
The second step is to calculate how many workers (represented by y) constitute
4% If 85 workers: 34% Then y workers: 4% y = 10 workers Question 32: C
If 25% of the students at Westgate High were given prizes at the schools last speech and prize giving day for good academic performance, the 180 that got no prize represent 75% of students at Westgate High. If 180 students represent 75% of the total number of students, then the total number of students (100%) at the school must equal 240 given by: (100 × 180)/75 = 240 Question 33: B
Let x = blue candles, then (3/4) x = orange candles.
Remember the word “as” in this context refers to multiplication. ! ! !x + x = 490 ! ! x = 490 x = (490 ×4)/7 x = 280
Question 34: A
Through trial and error you will find the following pattern: that each number is divided by 6 to get the next. Therefore 120 ÷ 6 = 20
