n + 7 = 15 → n = 8, then 3n = 3 × 8 = 24.
A shirt originally costs $40 and is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price?
Answer: $30
25% of $40 = $10 discount, so the sale price is $40 − $10 = $30.
The average of five numbers is 12. If four of the numbers are 10, 13, 11, and 14, what is the fifth number?
Answer: 12
The sum of all five numbers must be 5 × 12 = 60; the sum of the four known numbers is 10+13+11+14 = 48; the fifth number is 60 − 48 = 12.
In a TACHS pattern question, the shapes go: circle, triangle, square, circle, triangle, square. What is the 14th shape?
Answer: Triangle
The pattern repeats every 3 shapes; 14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2, so the 14th shape is the 2nd in the pattern: triangle.
If a car travels 180 miles in 3 hours, what is its average speed?
