(D) Since Mr. Garcia has not stated specifically that he will continue working elsewhere, Pearson must ASSUME Mr. Garcia is unwilling to quit the other job (A) This OBJECTIVE is clearly stated in the second paragraph of the passage.21. (B) The number of years of experience is one of the three major considerations Pearson was directed to take into account, and thus is critical and a MAJOR FACTOR.

It relates to the major factor named in item 7.18. (E) This is wholly IRRELEVANT.

Since b is the Y-axis value and is above the point of origin, it ixis value and is above the point of origin, it is positive.

Cancel the 8's to have just radical 8 over 1, or radical 8.14.nd estimate the division. Try not to take the time to do every step in problems of this type.13. (B) You should be able to reason this out logically: since radical 8 times radical 8 equals 8, 8 divided by radical 8 must equal radical 8 (think of it as: increase of 10.1; divide that by 23.9 to get approximately 42%. If you were to do the same with the other categories, you would see that their percent increases are all substantially less than 42%. You should be able to do the subtraction in your mind a In the other years, only two (1961) or three (1962 and 1963) categories showed increases. 12. (A) To find the percent increase, take the number increase and divide it by the original whole (what you are increasing from). With Pop records, there was anly the Pop category had an increase in the number of records sold every year. You may have mistakenly chosen Rock; however, for two years, there were an EQUAL number of Rock records sold.11. (D) In 1964, all four categories showed an increase in sales.n front of the x, in this case, 3. This leaves you with x = (8 - 4y) / 3.9. (C) Look at the Soul line of the graph under 1963 to find that "8.9" records were sold; the "8.9" represents the number of HUNDREDS of records sold. 8.9*100 = 890.10. (A) On-6 OR +4.8. (B) To solve for a variable, isolate the variable; get it alone on one side of the equation. Move the 4y to the right, making the expression 3x = 8 - 4y. Since you want to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation through by what is i=7. (D) In order for the product of two numbers to be zero, one or both of those numbers must be zero. To have the first expression equal zero, x must equal -6. To have the second expression equal zero, x must equal +4. Therefore, x could be EITHER       bed.

The difference between the largest and the smallest integers is (n + 8) - n, or 8. The average of the integers is irrelevant.17. (A) There are 16 ounces in a pound, and 52 ouncesis 6:7, there could be 6 men and 7 women. Since the ratio of bald men to men with hair is 5:1, there could be 5 bald men and 1 man with hair. Therefore, the ratio of bald men to women is 5:7.16. (D) Nine consecutive integers may be expressed as n, (n milk or soda; the remaining 12 must be the remaining 3/10. Your equation is 12 = (3/10)x, where x is the number of people at the party. Divide both sides by 3/10, that is, invert and multiply: (12)*(10/3) = 40.15. (A) Since the ratio of men to women te that since sales have DECREASED every year, you may automatically eliminate answers (A) and (B).14. (B) Use the common denominator of 10 to add the fractions: 5/10 of the people drink milk while 2/10 drink soda. Therefore, 7/10 of the people drink its perimeter is 4s. Divide 64 by 4 to find that the side of the square is 16; square 16 to get the area, 256.13. (C) Sales in 1973 were 2/3 of sales in 1972; sales in 1974 were 2/3 of sales in 1973. (2/3)*(2/3) = 4/9, which is approximately 44%. Nototal-angle formula is (S - 2)*(180 degrees), where S represents the number of sides of the polygon. A nine-sided figure is a nonagon.12. (D) The perimeter of a figure is the sum of the lengths of its outside lines; since a square has four equal sides,*(4/3), cancel the 3 into the 120 to get 40*4 = 160.11. (D) Divide 1,260 by 180 to find the number of triangles in the figure (since there are 180 degrees in a triangle). 1,260/180 = 7; a figure with 7 interior triangles must have 9 sides, because the rmand must have 120 books (since 120 is 50% more than 80). Therefore, 120 = 3/4 the number of books Armand originally had. 120 = (3/4)x; solve for x. Divide both sides through by 3/4, which is the same as multiplying both sides by 4/3. To solve (120/1)a day. 24 * $32.40 = $777.60. Add the costs: $1,260 + $777.60 = $2,037.60.9. (C) Adding two negatives gives a negative (e.g., -3 + -3 = -6). Adding two odd numbers results in an even number (e.g., 5 + 5 = 10).10. (C) If the sister has 80 books, AP=8. (C) There are 28 days in February and 31 days in March, for a total of 59 days.
