TMU Numerical Reasoning

Question 1

A student scores 72 out of 120 on a test. What percentage did the student score?

Accepted Answer

60%

Answer

72 divided by 120 multiplied by 100 equals 60%.

Question 2

A class has 30 students. If 40% are female, how many male students are there?

Accepted Answer

18

Answer

40% of 30 = 12 female students, so 30 − 12 = 18 male students.

Question 3

What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?

Accepted Answer

37

Answer

The differences between terms are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, so 26 + 11 = 37.

Question 4

If 3x + 7 = 22, what is the value of x?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

Subtracting 7 gives 3x = 15, and dividing by 3 gives x = 5.

Question 5

A store offers a 25% discount on an $80 item. What is the sale price?

Accepted Answer

$60.00

Answer

25% of $80 = $20 discount, so $80 − $20 = $60.
