C. Both options A and B will allow him to meet his goal.
Looking at Drake's situation after 4 weeks, he only has $470 saved. By
his original plan, he should have had $500 saved. So he's $30 short of
his goal and has 2 weeks until his originally planned class. If he goes
with option A and takes the later class, he will save an additional $125
which is more than enough to make up the $30 short fall. So option A
will work for him to save enough money for his class. With option B, he
will save $140 for the last 2 weeks of his plan giving him a savings of
$280 for the last 2 weeks. Adding the $470 he's already saved will give
him a total savings of $470 + $280 = $750 which is enough for him to
attend his class. So option B will also allow Drake to attend his
desired class. Both options A and B allow him to meet his goal. Hence,
the answer is "c".
For the answer to the question above, If you've noticed, the statement mentioned "a number". Let's assign x to be the number. The first statement is twice a number (2x). Then, decreased by the quotient of that number and 2 (-x/2). Lastly, the statement at least 12 is written as >12.
So the answer is
2x - (x/2) >12
The volume of the triangluar block is 4 cubic inches. What is the approximate length of y? -- 2.8 inches
The answer would be (A) 6
Um, so it's a bit awkward with this question because they actually got the x value incorrect. When they added up all the values, they got 9x - 27 = 180, but it's actually 9x + 27 = 180 because -18 + 45 is positive 27. Anyways, when you solve it correctly you get x = 17, and then you substitute it into the angles. So with 5x - 18, you are saying 5(× 17) - 18 = 67. Then with the other one you do 4(× 17) + 45 = 113. You know that x is definitely 17 because 113 + 67 = 180.
