A local law school reports that 74% of last year's graduates are employed by law firms, 3% work for the government and 2% work for nonprofit organizations. The rest of the graduates work at jobs unrelated to law. Based on these outcomes, which of the following is the percentage of graduates working jobs unrelated to law?
5%
79%
69%
21%
Correct Answer : D
Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then
74%+3%+2%+x=100%
79%+x=100%
Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation
79%-79%+x=100%
x=100%-79%
x=21%
So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

A whole pizza is equivalent to 1. Then
One friend eats half of the pizza=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2
Remaining amount of pizza to be shared=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2
Now, three friends share ½ equally and each friend will get,

Thus, the three friends each share 1/6.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
From the given scenario:
Initial charge is $40
Additional charge per circular cloth=$5c
Additional charge per rectangular cloth=$3.50r
Total cost = additional charge per circular rectangular cloths + Initial charge
Total cost, T = 5c + 3.5r + 40
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
to solve for x, we order like terms together and proceed as follows:
4x-3-5x=24
Add 3 to both sides of the equation
4x-3+3-5x=24+3
4x+3-3-5x=27
4x-5x=27
-x=27
Divide both sides by -1
-x/-1=27/-1
x= -27
Thus, the unknown value of x is -27
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We extrapolate the values of a line between 10 and 15 on y-axis to meet the curve and drop another line from the intersection of the curve to meet the x-axis and read off the age of the car.
Now, let’s extrapolate in the following diagram
The intersection of the line and the x-axis is between 4 and 5 years. This means that the car is about 4.5 years old. From the options given, the age of the car is more than 3 years old.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We need to find the length of the rectangle from the given area and width of the rectangle. Let L be length if the rectangle. Then,
Area of rectangle=Length*width
Substituting area=32 in2 and w=4 inches
32=L*4
32=4L
Divide both sides by 4
32/4=4L/4
8=L
The length of the rectangle is 8 inches.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.
4.4 becomes 44/10
4.25 becomes 425/100
Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,
9/2*300=1350
10/3*300=1000
44/10*300=1320
425/10*300=1275
From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.
