Treehugger Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 #10 is wrong. The answer is $2160, not $560. (4,800/20 x 9) I win. Are they allowed pencil & paper for this test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So how did you guys get the 'right' answer for #10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 #10 is wrong. The answer is $2160, not $560. (4,800/20 x 9) I win. Are they allowed pencil & paper for this test? yes- and 12 minutes for 50 questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 #10 is wrong. The answer is $2160, not $560. (4,800/20 x 9) I win. Are they allowed pencil & paper for this test? Re-read the question. It asks how much less does the guy receive. You're right, that if profits were prorated based on investment, he would have received 2160. But as it stands, he received 1600 (4800/3). So he made 560 (2160-1600) less than he would have had the profits been prorated based on investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Same, but I skipped #9 cause my math skills suck. I just didn't understand what they meant by it. Math is my strongest suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So how did you guys get the 'right' answer for #10? "how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?" I looked at the profit being divided equally. Then looked at what the profit would've been proportinately... then got the difference of both profit figures. Victory is mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
