I need help - 620 won't do
Hi All, I'm back to this forum after exactly 3 months. I was preparing for GMAT in Aug-OCt 2007 timeframe. I appeared for the test in October last week and scored only 620. I was really disappointed.

achandwa - you are making an assumption that Y>36.
If this assumption is not true, then won't the answer be different.
I think it should be E.

From 1 you can get the value of Y, which is not sufficient to prove X^2 = XY.
But from 2 we know X=Y, so XY = X*X = X^2.

I think the catch is in the word "initially offered ". The dealer wanted to make a profit of 40% but we are not sure what the actual profit the dealer made by selling it for $1953.
Can anyone confirm my understanding?

Why is the answer A?
Let suppose the asking price (selling price) is Y and the cost price is X.
Then Y = 1.4X.
Taking 1 - 0.9Y = X + 430
we can calculate X.
Taking 2 - Y = 1953
we can calculate X.
I think the answer should be D. Either 1 and 2 is sufficient by itself to get the answer.
