Your competitor is charging MORE than you. When you want to sell, do you say your product is:

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
C. 450

Explanation
To be successful, Mr. Ortiz needs to interview 90% of his assigned households, which is 90% of 500. To find this, we can multiply 500 by 0.90, which gives us 450. Therefore, the minimum number of people he must interview is 450.

A. 960

Explanation
To find 80% of 1200, we multiply 1200 by 0.8. This can be done by multiplying 1200 by 8 and then dividing the result by 10. So, 1200 multiplied by 8 is 9600, and dividing that by 10 gives us the answer of 960.

Identify the missing number WITHIN the series. 11, 19, ?, 41, 55
- A.
  
  31
- B.
  
  29
- C.
  
  36
- D.
  
  34
Correct Answer
B. 29

Explanation
The pattern in the series is that each number is obtained by adding the previous number with a specific increment. In this case, the increment is increasing by 2 each time. Starting with 11, we add 2 to get 13, then add 2 again to get 15, and so on. However, in the missing number, the increment is not followed and it is decreased by 2 instead. Therefore, the missing number is 29.
