  5. √(5)x = 46% of 1550 – 2288 ÷ 26
    A) 16
    B) 4
    C) 5
    D) 9
    E) None of these
    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    46% of 1550 – 2288 ÷ 26 = 625 = (5)4 
    √(5)x = ((5)x)1/2 = (5)x/2
    So x/2 = 4, x = 8
  6. 6x-1 = 24 × 108 × 648
    A) 2
    B) 4
    C) 9
    D) 8
    E) 6
    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:
    24 = 23 * 31
    108 = 22 * 33
    648 = 23 * 34
    So 24 × 108 × 648 = 23+2+3 * 31+3+4 = 28 * 38 = 68
    6x-1 = 68
    x – 1 = 8
    Solve, x = 9
  7. 4 1/2 + 2 2/3 + 3 5/6 + 4 2/5 = x
    A) 15 2/5
    B) 17 2/6
    C) 12 2/10
    D) 16 2/5
    E) 16 2/12
    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    4 1/2 + 2 2/3 + 3 5/6 + 4 2/5
    = 4+2+3+4 + (1/2 + 2/3 + 5/6 + 2/5) = 13 + 12/5 = 13 + 2 2/5 = 15 2/5
  8. 125x+2 = 162 × 1442x+1 × 81
    A) 7
    B) 6
    C) 5
    D) 2
    E) 4
    View Answer
      Option E
    Solution:
    125x+2 = 162 × 1442x+1 × 81
    12 can be break down as 4*3
    162 = (42)2 = 44
    1442x+1 = 124x+2
    81 = 34
    so 44 * 34 = 124
    Now 124x+2 * 124 = 124x+2+4 = 124x+6
    Now 125x+2 = 124x+6
    So 5x+2 = 4x+6
    Solve, x = 4
  9. 3 1/4 + 2 1/5 – 2 3/10 – 1 1/6 = x
    A) 3 11/60
    B) 2 41/60
    C) 1 29/60
    D) 2 23/60
    E) 1 59/60
    View Answer
      Option E
    Solution:
    3 1/4 + 2 1/5 – 2 3/10 – 1 1/6
    = 3+2-2-1 + (1/4 + 1/5 – 3/10 – 1/6)
    = 2 + (-1/60) = 2 – 1/60 = 1 59/60
  10. 35% of 180 + 45% of 240 – 65% of 160

    Thanks for the suggestions shared using your blog. Another thing I would like to talk about is that losing weight is not exactly about going on a celebrity diet and trying to reduce as much weight as possible in a couple of days. The most effective way to shed pounds is by using it little by little and following some basic guidelines which can make it easier to make the most from the attempt to lose weight. You may learn and already be following these tips, but reinforcing understanding never affects.
