Wonderlic Test Part 1

The correct answer is (B). The eleventh month of the year is November.

The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the sale is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300-$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of shovels is 1800/50=36.

The correct answer is (D). The USA has 50 states.

The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as many elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the following equation:
3X + X = 88
4X = 88
X = 88/4
X = 22

As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3:
22 * 3 = 66

66 is the number of elephants in the safari.

The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of two separate subseries that alternate:
1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15).

2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease by 2 (15, 13, 11)

The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___

As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are bolded, and the numbers that decrease by 2 are underlined. We are missing the seventh number which is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the last odd term (the fifth number) by 5.

The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20

The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60 minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25.

The correct answer is (F) - None of the above.
First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by a common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying zeroes. Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars:
a. 7U+16N=191, b. N+U= 17
So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in the first equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were sold.
Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by elimination. For starters, since 191 is an odd number and 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars must be odd (even+odd=odd) - which means we can eliminate answers A, D & E. Now that we are left only with B and C, let's try to calculate it for each of these options:
. 37 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer. . 57 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer. Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the above.

The correct answer is (B). 25% equals one quarter and a quarter of 1200 is 1200/4=300. Therefore, an addition of a quarter to 1200 equals 1200+300=1500.

The sentence is: A triangle has three sides, which is true.

The correct answer is (E). An orange is used to produce juice like wheat is used to produce bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A).

Yes, FAQ is the acronym for "frequently asked question".

The correct answer is (A). Attraction is a word used to describe the power of drawing, alluring or enticing while disgust is a word used to describe a feeling of loathing that causes aversion.

The correct answer is (D). A layman is a word used to describe a person who does not belong to a particular profession while the other words are all different professions.

The correct answer is (C). To deviate is a word used to describe straying away from a course. To agitate is a word used to describe disturbing, exciting, or angering someone or something.

There are 2 exact duplicates: 6845 and 45641

The correct answer is (C) - It is uncertain whether the last statement is true. The first 2 statements do not tell us anything about Dave talking to John, therefore we cannot know if it is true or not.

The correct answer is (B). Designation is the act of indicating, while the other words mean confirmation.

The correct answer is C). Soap is used for cleaning as medicine is used for curing

The correct answer is (A). The sun has a diameter over than 100 times larger than earth, which has a diameter larger than the all the other answers.

The correct answer is (A). If Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam, we can define Sam as X and Edna as 6X, and build the following equation: X+6X=56, therefore X=8.

The correct answer is (C). In order to find out how much is 17 out of 20 in percentage, we need to reach a denominator of 100 (a percent is simply a fraction with a denominator of 100). In order to do this we multiply the fraction 17/20 by 5 and reach 85/100 which is 85%.

The correct answer is (A). Both affluent and wealthy mean having a great deal of resources or money. Therefore, the words are similar in meaning.

The correct answer is (C). Because we do not know what kind of hair Bonzo has, we cannot know anything about his life span compared to Rocco. Therefore, the statement is uncertain.

The correct answer is (C). Start means "to begin," so the antonym is conclusion. Inception and origin are synonyms. Source is not related. Therefore, the correct answer is conclusion.

The correct answer is (C). The word imperious describes an arrogantly domineering or overbearing person while a subservient person is extremely compliant and submissive.

The correct answer is (D). The exact duplicates are: 3356; 7776145; 865656; 71829

The correct answer is (B). Archaic is a word used to describe something that belongs to an earlier period of time, while the other words are used to describe sad and gloomy states of mind or facial expressions.

The correct answer is (B). The exact duplicates are: LLO8761, ORR13726B

The correct answer is (C). The fact that every dog has a brown leg doesn't mean that each creature with brown leg is a dog.

The correct answer is (C). In order to find how much money he puts in his savings account, we need to find how much is 0.75 of $7,000:

(75/100)×7000 = $5,250.

Solving Tip:
If multiplying 7,000 × 0.75 seems to be a bit too difficult, we can also use estimations and eliminate wrong answer choices. Let's round 0.75 down to 0.70, while keeping in mind that the correct answer must be slightly larger than the result.
7,000×0.70=
7,000×(70/100)
=70×70 =4900.
Answers A and B can definitely be eliminated as they are too low. Since we only rounded down by 0.05, know that the correct answer will only be slightly larger than 4900. We can therefore conclude with fair certainty that C is the correct answer.

The correct answer is (A).

Time = work/rate

In order to calculate how long it would take to prepare 16 thin crusts, we need to divide 16 by the rate of thin crusts per hour.

16 thin crust pies/8 thin crust pies per hour = 2 hours

Similarly, to calculate how long it would take to prepare 4 deep dish pies, we need to divide 4 by the rate of deep dish pies per hour.

4 deep dish pies/2 deep dish pies per hour = 2 hours

The number of hours it will take to complete the order is 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours

The correct answer is (B). If John's gross pay was $4687.24 and $421.78 was deducted from that amount, John's take-home pay was: $4687.24 - $421.78 = $4265.46.

The correct answer is (D). In order to solve the question, we need to separate the two stages. The first stage is: the two-hour ride at a rate of 60 mph; the second stage is the one-hour ride at a rate of 65 mph.
Time (hours) Speed Distance
Stage 1 3 X 3X
Stage 2 ? 2X 3X
If we sum up the distance of both stages, we will find the distance between the cities. The first stage is calculated using the formula Time * Speed = Distance: 2 hours X 60 miles per hour=120 miles
The second stage is calculated using the same formula: 1 hour X 65 miles per hour=65 miles. Therefore, the total distance between the cities is 120 miles + 65 miles = 185 miles.

The correct answer is (B). In order to calculate an average, we have to know the sum of the individual values, and the number of individuals. We know that there are four different stocks, so the number of individuals is four (Number of individuals). Now, find the sum of the prices of all the stocks (Sum of the individuals' value). We can calculate the sum of the group's value with the average of the values:
Sum of all the values
------------------------ = Average
Number of Values
Let's insert the figures that we know into the formula.
Sum of all values
---------------------- = 100 Dollars
4
Sum of all values = 400 Dollars
The average of the 4 stock prices is $100, and therefore the sum of the stock prices is $400. If the value of the Drone stock is $70, we can conclude that the sum of the remaining three stock prices is $330. If the value of three of them is $330, the average price is $110.
Quick tip: If an average is provided followed by the number of values, the sum of the values can be calculated. The sum is calculated as follows: Number of values X Average=Sum of the values.

The correct answer is (A). In order to answer the question correctly, we need to understand it. In order to find out the greatest possible size, we have to think in extremes. The volume formula of a rectangular prism is: Length Width Depth = Volume.

If the volume is already set at 100 cubic inches, we can obtain from the formula the greatest value for length if we set the lowest values for width and depth. Theoretically, both the width and depth may each be 1 inch, and the length 100 inches; thus the correct answer is A.

The correct answers are: (A) rapidly, (C) hastily, and (E) swiftly. All three words are adverbs that mean "quickly." "Exceedingly" does not belong because it means "extremely." "Eventually" is not related to speed but to chronological order; therefore, it does not belong.

The correct answer is (E). All of the other answers are closely related to money, while drought is related to the weather/climate. This question is confusing because a drought can bring on financial difficulties to a country, causing inflation and debt, but a drought is simply a period of dry weather.
