10, 15, 22.5, 33.75
What is the next number in the given sequence?
10, 15, 22.5, 33.75
What is the next number in the given sequence?
The numbers in the given sequence increase in a uniform pattern, namely that half of the previous number is added to each successive number. Half of 33.75 is 16.88, added to 33.75 this gives us the correct answer: 50.63 (which was also the only answer that ended with the appropriate final decimal number.

Five chocolate baklavas cost sixty-eight dollars. How much would fifteen chocolate baklavas cost?
To answer this question you could have simply multiplied 68 by 3 and gotten 204. Or, to do this question even quicker, you could have looked at the last digits. Knowing that 3 multiplied by 8 is 4, you would know that the final digit of the answer would be four, and the only answer that ended with a 4 was the correct answer, 204 dollars.

A small pile of loose pencil shavings was assessed as having a value of $4500, the three close friends (Julio, DeMare, and Aiko) who found the pile of pencil shavings decided to divide the money based on how much of the shavings blew, as chance and the breath of the wind had dictated, onto the legs of their pants. 10% of the shavings wound up on Aiko's pants, 15% on Julio's, and 75% on DeMare's. How much more money did DeMare take than Aiko?

How much more money did DeMare take than Aiko?
75% of 4500 is 3375, so DeMare made $3375 from the pencil shavings. Aiko only made $450. All you have to do now is subtract 450 from 3375.

A square has perimeter 20 feet. Give its area.
A square has perimeter 20 feet. Give its area.
The perimeter of a figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A square comprises four sides of equal length, so, if the perimeter of the square is 20 feet, then each side has length
feet.
The area of the square is equal to the length of a side multiplied by itself, so the area of this square is
square feet.

The first 40 miles of a 100-mile trip took one hour; the whole trip took two hours and fifteen minutes. To the nearest whole, what was the average speed during the remaining 60 miles of the trip?
The first 40 miles of a 100-mile trip took one hour; the whole trip took two hours and fifteen minutes. To the nearest whole, what was the average speed during the remaining 60 miles of the trip?
The average speed during a trip of 
miles over a period of 
hours is 
miles per hour. Here, the distance driven is 60 miles; the time it took was two hours and fifteen minutes total minus the hour for the first 40 miles, which is one hour and fifteen minutes. Since fifteen minutes is equal to
hours, we get
and 
Therefore, the average speed traveled during the second part of the trip is
miles per hour.

1. All writers live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
2. I live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
3. I am a writer.
If the first two statements are true, is the third statement true, false, or uncertain?
1. All writers live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
2. I live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
3. I am a writer.
If the first two statements are true, is the third statement true, false, or uncertain?
There is not enough information given to say if the third statement is true. The relationship between the two sentences is only directly true in one direction, namely that all writers live in fear of a lonely penniless death. It does NOT hold that all people who live in fear of a penniless death are, by definition, writers. It is possible that the speaker is a writer, but the logic of the statement's does not necessitate that this is so.
