  2. A car depreciates by 15% each year. If it was worth $20,000 new, what is its approximate value after 2 years?

    Answer: $14,450

    After year 1: $20,000 × 0.85 = $17,000; after year 2: $17,000 × 0.85 = $14,450.

  3. Which of the following is a logical inference? 'No reptiles are warm-blooded. All snakes are reptiles.'

    Answer: No snakes are warm-blooded

    Since all snakes are reptiles and no reptiles are warm-blooded, it follows necessarily that no snakes are warm-blooded.

  4. What is the next number in the sequence: 100, 91, 83, 76, 70, ___?

    Answer: 65

    The differences are −9, −8, −7, −6, −5; so the next term is 70 − 5 = 65.

  5. An office uses 500 sheets of paper per week. How many reams (500 sheets each) are needed for a 12-week quarter?

    Answer: 12 reams

    Total sheets = 500 × 12 = 6,000; reams needed = 6,000 ÷ 500 = 12 reams.

  6. VERBOSE most nearly means:

    Answer: Using too many words
