GMAT Practice Question (Answer)
September 24th, 2008
Yesterday, we posted a 700+ level GMAT question. Below is the answer and explanation. How’d you do?
Answer: E
Explanation:
In order to find the sum of consecutive numbers, we always follow three steps:
1. Find the number of numbers
2. Find the middle number
3. Multiply
Using the 3 steps -
1. Find the number of numbers:
The multiples of five between 23 and 92 are really the numbers starting from 25 and ending with 90. To find the number of numbers, subtract 25 from 90, divide by 5, and add 1:
90 – 25 = 65
65/5 = 13
13 + 1 = 14
2. Find the middle number:
The middle number between 25 and 90 is the average of 25 and 90:
25 + 90 = 115
115/2 = 57.5
3. Multiply:
57.5*14 = 805
