UMAT anyone? (no prep courses) (4 Viewers)

Humans...

Yknow, i'm actually a little concerned for you.
Sometimes I wonder if you actually have a dissociative disorder of some kind that makes you dissociate yourself from who you are, and those around you. Or is that you have some form of warped superiority complex thatmakes you think that you're above all of us-above humans, and the human condition.
Or is robots an extended metaphor for something?

Maybe i'm overlooking things

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

Yep.

Please try this (no calculator allowed):
When the price of gold went up, a jeweller raised the prices on certain rings by 60%. On one ring, however, the price was accidently reduced by 60%. By what percent must the incorrect price be increased to reflect the proper new price?
a) 60%
b) 120%
c) 300%
d) 400%

Got it wrong in the spur of the moment =/

is it D?

I DON'T KNOW D:


But yeah. Does anyone know the structure of the UMAT and what they'll ask under each section?
I honestly know nothing about it

No I just think that humans are filthy and delicious.

Haha, this is the type of stuff for section 1, hence I find it quite hard since they always try to trick you.
It's C
Assume the price was $100. The correct price is $160 and incorrect price is $40. NOW! DON'T BE FOOLED! You need to increase by $120 to get to $160. Thus, it's a 300% increase, NOT 400% increase.

I have many tricky section 1 questions.

LOL


But where are you getting these questions from?

Are you sure the answer is C because by the following reasoning, the answer appears to be D.

If you let said ring be x, Once depreciated, the value is 0.4x, to get the ring to required 1.6x, we have to times it by 4 which is equivalent to a 400% increase.

The question never refers to the difference, mathematically the increase is 400% greater than the original price. If the faulty price is equal to 100% ($40=100%), the new price will need to be 4 times that to get it to the new price ($160=400%).

 

[SpiralFlex]

Here is another one.

 

[Alkanes]

Lol wtf?? ^

I think it's either B or D.

 

[SpiralFlex]

Very good. Now state the reason.

 

[Alkanes]

Third row is obviously missing something black in colour and pentagon in shape.

 

[Sanical]

LOL

Lots of sources.

It's hard to understand (and hard to explain by typing) but look at it like this: Say you have a $50 item and want it to be $100. You'd increase the price by 100% to get to $100, right? Using you way, you would say increase price by 200%.

Not a good enough reason. Account for the black dot.

 

[BrickHead]

i think its B lol

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

Lots of sources.

I'm listening

i think its B lol

I say D

 

[Sanical]

@ Spiralflex, B?

 

[Alkanes]

not a good enough reason. Account for the black dot.

wtf??? I didn"t see any black dots before. Did you change the question lol?

 

[Sanical]

What comes next? Can be guessed, but there MUST be a reason provided. Best question to date (friend gave me).

 

[SpiralFlex]

Correct B. Very well done guys. Make a logical reason now.
