When you combine the 2 I got 13 sales
10 sales x $12 = $120 for Yesterday
$120 + $48 = (10 x $12) + (3 x $16)

I am still getting that 1 and 2 combined are not sufficient. I definitely feel that #2 in your solution step is wrong. the 80% definitely does not mean people that got their license. Of the group that took the Practical exam and passed the practical, 80% went on to pass the written portion as well, ...

This looks wrong to me, what about the people that failed both? They are not accounted for. Since the percentages are taken from 188 have to meet one of three conditions? 1. passed written, passed practical 2. passed written, failed practical 3. failed written AND failed practical = x? the 30% meets...

Instead of doing practice tests it looks like you should practice specifically on the Verbal. Raising your verbal score by 5-10 will do impact your score alot more than the same amount in quant. There are vebal specific books available and your LSAT CR focus is definitely a step in the right directi...

I actually interpreted the double layer to mean a full second surrounding of the flowerbed initially, and got the 100 stones necessary, but that number was way off so i then stacked them to get a smaller number, which was also way off. Question for Stuart since you helped me with my last question th...

Cost to edge a flower garden
Question #19 from the mathematics section on Testprep. I know its not an official source so the problem could be the wording, but it could also be my approach. Any help appreciated 19. If edging cost $2.32 per 12-inch stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 6 yard...

My copy of the OG 12th edition came in the mail today so hopefully I won't come across this type of problem again. I bought the first book that had GMAT in bold print on the cover. I didn't realize the gravity of my error until I found these forums. Thanks for the clarification!

The source is from Practice Test 2 from "Master the GMAT 2012" from Peterson's Publishing. I double checked and I copied the question verbatim. I find it incredibly encouraging you also found the wording of this question to be misleading/confusing. Makes me hopeful I am headed in the right...

Looking Too Deep?
How many buses are required to transport 175 students to the museum? 1. No two buses have the same carrying capacity 2. The average capactiy of a bus is 55 students I got this seemingly easy DS question wrong. My line of thinking was this: 1. Insufficient 2. 4x55 > 175 so kind of sufficient. However...
