solution p is 20 percent lemonade and 80 percent carbonated water by volume ; solution q is 45 percent lemonade and 55 percent carbonated water by volume . if a mixture of pq contains 60 percent carbonated water , what percent of the volume of the mixture is p ?
"60 % is 20 % - points below 80 % and 5 % - points above 55 % . so the ratio of solution p to solution q is 1 : 4 . mixture p is 1 / 5 = 20 % of the volume of mixture pq . the answer is a ."

the measurements obtained for the interior dimensions of a rectangular box are 150 cm by 150 cm by 225 cm . if each of the three measurements has an error of at most 1 centimeter , which of the following is the closes maximum possible difference , in cubic centimeters , between the actual capacity of the box and the capacity computed using these measurements ?
the options are well spread so we can approximate . changing the length by 1 cm results in change of the volume by 1 * 150 * 225 = 33,750 cubic centimeters ; changing the width by 1 cm results in change of the volume by 150 * 1 * 225 = 33,750 cubic centimeters ; changing the height by 1 cm results in change of the volume by 150 * 150 * 1 = 22,500 cubic centimeters . so , approximate maximum possible difference is 33,750 + 33,750 + 22,500 = 90,000 cubic centimeters . answer : a

joe ’ s average ( arithmetic mean ) test score across 4 equally weighted tests was 35 . he was allowed to drop his lowest score . after doing so , his average test score improved to 40 . what is the lowest test score that was dropped ?
the arithmetic mean of 4 equally weighted tests was 35 . so what we can assume is that we have 4 test scores , each 35 . he dropped his lowest score and the avg went to 40 . this means that the lowest score was not 35 and other three scores had given the lowest score 5 each to make it up to 35 too . when the lowest score was removed , the other 3 scores got their 5 back . so the lowest score was 3 * 5 = 15 less than 35 . so the lowest score = 35 - 15 = 20 answer ( a )

a card game called β€œ high - low ” divides a deck of 52 playing cards into 2 types , β€œ high ” cards and β€œ low ” cards . there are an equal number of β€œ high ” cards and β€œ low ” cards in the deck and β€œ high ” cards are worth 2 points , while β€œ low ” cards are worth 1 point . if you draw cards one at a time , how many ways can you draw β€œ high ” and β€œ low ” cards to earn 5 points if you must draw exactly 3 β€œ low ” cards ?
to get a 5 , you need one high and three lows ( you could have had 2 highs and one low , but the constraint is that you must have three low cards ) hlll = 4 ! 3 ! = 4 4 ! is the number of ways you can arrange these four spaces . divide by 3 ! because you you repeat three low cards ans : d

two dogsled teams raced across a 300 mile course in wyoming . team a finished the course in 3 fewer hours than team e . if team a ' s average speed was 5 mph greater than team e ' s , what was team e ' s average mph ?
this is a very specific format that has appeared in a handful of real gmat questions , and you may wish to learn to recognize it : here we have a * fixed * distance , and we are given the difference between the times and speeds of two things that have traveled that distance . this is one of the very small number of question formats where backsolving is typically easier than solving directly , since the direct approach normally produces a quadratic equation . say team e ' s speed was s . then team e ' s time is 300 / s . team a ' s speed was then s + 5 , and team a ' s time was then 300 / ( s + 5 ) . we need to find an answer choice for s so that the time of team a is 3 less than the time of team e . that is , we need an answer choice so that 300 / ( s + 5 ) = ( 300 / s ) - 3 . you can now immediately use number properties to zero in on promising answer choices : the times in these questions will always work out to be integers , and we need to divide 300 by s , and by s + 5 . so we want an answer choice s which is a factor of 300 , and for which s + 5 is also a factor of 300 . so you can rule out answers a and c immediately , since s + 5 wo n ' t be a divisor of 300 in those cases ( sometimes using number properties you get to the correct answer without doing any other work , but unfortunately that ' s not the case here ) . testing the other answer choices , if you try answer d , you find the time for team e is 15 hours , and for team a is 12 hours , and since these differ by 3 , as desired , d is correct .
