A store reduced the price of one of its products by 25 percent. What percentage of the reduced price must it be increased by to put the product back to its original price?
- A.
33 percent
- B.
20 percent
- C.
23 percent
- D.
35 percent
- E.
40 percent
Correct Answer
A. 33 percentExplanation
To find the percentage increase needed to restore the product's original price, we need to calculate the difference between the reduced price and the original price, and then express that difference as a percentage of the reduced price. Since the price was reduced by 25 percent, the reduced price is 75 percent of the original price. To restore the product to its original price, we need to increase the reduced price by 33 percent, which is equivalent to one-third of the reduced price. Therefore, the correct answer is 33 percent.Rate this question:

The price of an article was cut 20% for a sale. By what percent must the discounted item be increased to again sell the article at the original price?
- A.
15%
- B.
20%
- C.
25%
- D.
30%
- E.
35%
Correct Answer
C. 25%Explanation
When the price of an article is cut by 20% for a sale, it means that the article is being sold at 80% of its original price. To find out by what percent the discounted item must be increased to again sell the article at the original price, we need to find the percentage increase from 80% to 100%. This can be calculated by dividing the difference between 100% and 80% (which is 20%) by 80% and then multiplying by 100. So, (20/80) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, the discounted item must be increased by 25% to sell the article at the original price.Rate this question:

Mary, who is sixteen years old, is four times as old as her brother. How old will Mary be when she is twice as old as her brother?
- A.
20
- B.
24
- C.
25
- D.
26
- E.
28
Correct Answer
B. 24Explanation
Mary is currently four times as old as her brother, so her brother is 16/4 = 4 years old.
Let's assume that after x years, Mary will be twice as old as her brother.
So, after x years, Mary will be 16 + x years old, and her brother will be 4 + x years old.
According to the given information, Mary will be twice as old as her brother, so the equation becomes: 16 + x = 2(4 + x).
Simplifying the equation, we get: 16 + x = 8 + 2x.
Solving for x, we find that x = 8.
Therefore, after 8 years, Mary will be 16 + 8 = 24 years old, which is twice as old as her brother.Rate this question:

If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then all Bloops are definitely Lazzies?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then it can be concluded that all Bloops are Lazzies. This is because if something belongs to a category (Bloops) that is entirely contained within another category (Razzies), and that second category (Razzies) is entirely contained within a third category (Lazzies), then the first category (Bloops) must also be entirely contained within the third category (Lazzies). Therefore, it can be inferred that all Bloops are definitely Lazzies.Rate this question:
