In a certain school, there are 600 boys and 400 girls. If 20 percent of the boys and 30 percent of the girls are on the honor roll, how many of the students are on the honor roll?

* 120
* 175
* 240
* 250
* 280

20% of the boys means one fifth of the boys, giving us 120 boys on the honor roll. 30% of the girls is 3/10*400 = 120 girls on the honor roll. This means that 120 + 120 = 240 kids are on the honor roll.

It's so easy question, I think.
ANS 240

20% of 600 = 120
30% of 400 = 120
so 120 + 120 = 240 kids

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
