Hello kcardozo, I am not a GMAT expert but from my experience of last 20-25 days I felt that scoring high in GMAT requires more of sharp reading skills for any of the sections. Initially during learning phase take time to read the problem twice or thrice because understanding is the foremost criteri...

Just to add this problem doesn't require solving or math.
Stat 1:- X^2 + Y^2 =100
Also XY/2 = 25
So solving for X, Y from two equations its sufficient.
Stat 2:- As X, Y are equal
so X^2 + X^2 = 100, so 2X^2 = 100, X^2 = 50, which is sufficient enough as well.

Lets assume two sides as X and Y, and from question hypotenuse is 10. From 1:- Area = XY/2 = 25 or, XY = 50 As per Pyth theorem ; 100 = X^2 + Y^2 Perimeter P = X + Y + 10 so we have to calculate the value x+y. Square x+y --> (x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2=(x^2+y^2)+2xy=100+2*50=200 --> x+y=\sqrt{200}. Thus P=x...

Set the equation: 0.1x+0.02y=0.05(x+y), where x+y=z --> 5x=3y -->
(1) y=10 --> 5x=3y=30 --> x=6. Sufficient.
(2) z=x+y=16 --> y=16-x --> 5x=3y=3(16-x) --> x=6. Sufficient.

Using scale method here, since 10% and 2% give weighted average of 5%, x:y = 3:5
We also know x + y = z.
1. y = 10.
If y = 10, x = 6 since their ratios must be 3:5. Sufficient.
2. z = 16
If sum of x and y is 16, x must be 6 and y must be 10 to give a ratio of 3:5.

Hello, Please ignore the previous solution and consider this one as we need to calculate the % decrease in sales. Initially $3m royalty from $20m sales, So $ 1m sales = $3/20 Next, $9m royalty from $108m sales, So $ 1m sales = $9/108 % Decrease = Change/Original * 100 % Decrease = (3/20 - 9/108)/ (...

Hello, Please ignore the previous solution and consider this one.
Initially $3m royalty from $20m sales, So $ 1m sales = $3/20
Next, $9m royalty from $108m sales, So $ 1m sales = $9/108
% Decrease = Change/Original * 100
% Decrease = (3/20 - 9/108)/ (3/20) * 100 = approx 45 %

Initially $3m royalty from $20m sales, So $ 1m royal = $20/3 = $ 6.66
Next, $9m royalty from $108m sales, So $ 1m royal = $108/9 = $ 12
% deccrease = (12 - 6.66)/ 12 * 100 = 44.5% so option C fits the best.

First equation becomes 280 = XT ( X is speed in km/hr & T is time)
Second becomes 7X/6 = 280/(T-.5)
Now solving these X & T from two equations becomes easy and gets X=80.

As 75=4*18+3 then the last digit of 7^{75} is the same as the last digit of 7^3, which is 3. Units digit of 7^{75} + 6 will be: 3 plus 6 = 9.

Just to add, if apples & pineapples sold are equal then it becomes A=P.
If apples sold are half of pineapples then it becomes. A=P/2
Hope you are ok with this now.

A = number of apples
P = number of pineapples
"vendor sells twice as many apples as pineapples" it means if 1 pineapple is sold, there are 2 apples sold to equify. So, A=2P hope you got it.
