Question: 329

7. Two numbers add to 1,500. One number is 4 times the size of the other. What are the two numbers?

  • A. 300, 1,200
  • B. 200, 1,300
  • C. 500, 1,000
  • D. 750, 750

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. You are told that two numbers add to 1,500 and that one of the two is 4 times the size of other. Create an equation:

x + 4x = 1,500

Solve for x.

5x = 1,500

x = 300

4x = 1,200

So the two numbers are 300 and 1,200.
