Example Question #1 : Whole And Part

$\square+4+3=19$ $\displaystyle \square+4+3=19$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a whole, add the three parts. First, add the two known parts together:

$\square+4+3=19$ $\displaystyle \square+4+3=19$

Since one of the parts is still missing, think:

what (part) plus 7 (part) equals 19 (whole)?

$\square+7=19$ $\displaystyle \square+7=19$

The missing part is 12.

Example Question #3 : Whole And Part

Barry just received a 13 percent increase in his weekly salary. If he now earns $187.58 each week, what was his weekly salary before the pay raise?

Possible Answers:

$\$174$ $\displaystyle \$174$

$\$212$ $\displaystyle \$212$

$\$170$ $\displaystyle \$170$

$\$166$ $\displaystyle \$166$

$\$163$ $\displaystyle \$163$

Correct answer:

$\$166$ $\displaystyle \$166$

Explanation:

Because his new salary is a 13% increase from his old salary, he's now earning 113% of what he earned previously. Translate this into an equation and solve for x, Barry's old weekly salary:

$\displaystyle 1.13X = 187.58$

Divide both sides by 1.13 to isolate x:

$X = \frac{187.58}{1.13} = 166$ $\displaystyle X = \frac{187.58}{1.13} = 166$

Example Question #8 : How To Find The Whole From The Part

George and Kate want to start a roller hockey league with $\displaystyle 8$ teams. Each team needs $\displaystyle 1$ goalie, $\displaystyle 2$ defenders, $\displaystyle 2$ wings, and $\displaystyle 1$ center.

If George and Kate both play in the league, how many more players must they recruit for all $\displaystyle 8$ teams to be filled?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 46$ players

$\displaystyle 50$ players

$\displaystyle 38$ players

$\displaystyle 48$ players

$\displaystyle 40$ players

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 46$ players

Explanation:

The league will have $\displaystyle 8$ teams. Each team will have $\displaystyle 6$ players, since the positions needed add up as follows: $\displaystyle 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6$.

Multiply the number of teams by the number of players needed for each team to get the total number of players that will be in the league:

$8 \times 6= 48$ $\displaystyle 8 \times 6= 48$ players

Since George and Kate will be $\displaystyle 2$ of the players in the league, subtract $\displaystyle 2$ from this total to get the number of people they must recruit:

$\displaystyle 48 - 2 = 46$ players
