hmmm, I thought I solved this on the forum before. let's try this again Machine A = $20,000 Machine B = $50,000 Downpayment A = 20,000*20% = $4,000 B = 50,000*20% = $10,000 Remainders A = 20,000-4000 = 16,000 B = 50,000-10,000 = 40,000 Interest = 40% of remaining cost A = 16,000 * 40% = 6,400 B = 40...

If the triangle is inscribed in a circle with....

If CD is the diameter of the circle, does x equal 30? (1) The length of CD is twice the length of BD. (2) y = 60 was one of the question. I know I didn't attach the diagram, but the explanation said "we know that this triangle has a right angle because it's inscribed in a semi-circle, hyp. = di...

wow, how did I NOT see that.

because you only know the ratio of the BCD, but not compared to the blank area or A. First, do NOT think that diagram is proportion to the actualy size. Let's use your logic. We know that A and B alone is not sufficient, so we'll ignore that. Combining them together, you have Total area - 1600 A - 8...

The trick to these problems are wording. Don't mis-understand the question when it comes to % greater than, % of.. etc.

I had missed so many questions because it simply ignored the wording of these questions.

I was at the frustrated point of my gmat study and missed an easy one. I realized the problem as soon as I posted the question.

It threw me off because I focused on cultivation - harvestING - exploitation

Gmatprep SC question....

Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal Peru, the Mochica developed their own elaborate society, based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans, the harvesting of fish and shellfish, and exploiting other wild and domestic resources. b) Based on the cultivation of such crops as c...

what if the one set of the points are on the opposite side of the quadrant?

for example, isn't (1,3) and (-1,-3) have same distance from the origin?

how would that play the role in triangle?
