Question:

Over a holiday weekend, a certain car dealer sold off 4/5 of the cars on its lot. If the cars sold for an average of $6,000 each, how many cars were on the dealer’s lot at the beginning of the weekend?

(1) The average value of the remaining cars on the lot is $5,000.

(2) The car dealer made $48,000 in car sales over the weekend.

  1. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
  2. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
  3. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
  4. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Given statement (1) alone, we only know average values of both the cars that were sold and the cars that remained; the dealer could have sold 4 cars and had 1 left, or sold 8 cars and had 2 left, or an infinite number of other options. So we can eliminate A and D.

With statement (2), we are able to find the number of cars sold by dividing the total sales by the average price. 48,000/6,000 = 8, so the dealer sold 8 cars. Since that is 4/5 of the cars on the lot, the dealer started off with 10 cars. Statement (2) is sufficient, so the answer is B.
