Thanks for the reply, but you seem to be using the thread to promote that website (guess you're involved). I would appreciate if someone else could suggest something less vague.

680 - underperformed, retake advice

Hi all, I started studying for my GMAT about two months ago but only did some serious prep for the last months or so. I never studied verbal at all, did not even look at one book. I focused only on quant as I felt very weak. Below are my CAT results: MGMAT CAT 1: 690 (q43, v40) - before any studying...

Hi, I'm using the same strategy. I am going to go through the MGMAT guide without doing the OG questions. This is because I would rather keep them as revision questions once I feel that I have gone through the content. 1. Go through guides content 2. OG diagnostic test 3. Revise content? 4. GMAT pre...

Geometry easy

O is the center of the circle. What is Angle PRQ ? - The solution is telling me: Angle POQ is 70deg. Because POQ is a central angle and PRQ is an inscribed angle, the value of PRQ is half the value of POQ. Therefore PRQ = 35deg. Now I don't get this. The way i did it: PQR = 90. Therefore 180-90-60 =...

thanks for that Its actually quite confusing because the revenue and commission cannot be negative - and those are definitely the equations I was given to calculate - Carla earns a base salary of $30,000 plus 10% commission on her total sales revenue exceeding $50,000. How much did she make on commi...

ok so i got this:

c = 0.1 (r - 50,000)
1.2c = 0.1 (1.25r - 50,000)

can someone solve it for c and r and list the steps - its elementary but my answer is not making sense :oops:
