A store sells a certain product at a fixed price per unit. At the product's current price, q units cost a total of exactly $300. If the price were lowered by$5 from its current value, then q + 2n units would cost exactly $300; if the price were raised by$5, then q – n units would cost exactly $300. What is the value of q? A. 10 B. 15 C. 20 D. 25 E. 30 Is there any easy way to solve this problem? Ans is the real exam going to have these sort of problems?

Dear Jp27,

I'm happy to help with this. This problem is very hard --- definitely an upper 700 level question. If you are doing very well on the Quant section, the CAT could feed you a question like this.

This question is a very challenging if you take an algebraic approach, but it's remarkably simple if you backsolve.

Assume q = 20 units
If we can buy 20 units, they must cost a price of 300/20 = $15 Lower the price$5 to a new price of $10 --- then we could buy 300/10 = 30 units (10 more than the original case) Raise the price$5 to a new price of $20 ---- then we could buy 300/20 = 15 units (5 fewer than the original case) This is the case for which we are looking ----- the increase in units from a$5 decrease in price is twice as much as the decrease in units from a $5 increase in price. Does this make sense?

Since from the options is of pure chance, one would end up losing lots of time.

Any other solution for this question?

Back to the basics.
Write down the prices and corresponding quantities using the given answers. You will get a small table:

(Q, P)
(10, 30)
(15, 20)
(20, 15)
(25, 12)
(30, 10)

From the given information, about raising/reducing the price, you can conclude the following about the prices and corresponding quantities:

Q+2N P-5
Q P
Q-N P+5

The corresponding prices for the quantities Q+2N, Q, and Q-N are three consecutive multiples of 5: P-5, P, and P+5. From the table, the prices should be 10, 15, and 20, and thus the quantity should be 20.

Remark: this is my corrected post, as in my previous one, I mixed up prices and quantities. If somebody saw it, please, just forget about it.

On official GMAT problems, if the answer choices are all single numbers, those numbers will be in numerical order. This is true on all official material and all high quality material, and therefore it's an excellent test of how authentic a given prep source is --- if you see a number of questions with the answers out of order, that's a red flag --- you should question whether that source is trustworthy. Some GMAT prep sources are excellent, and some are not worth the paper on which they are printed.

The reason we start with the middle answer (i.e. (C) on official material) is so that we know which way to go if our first choice is not right. Consider this hypothetical question:
Frank started with X money. He bought blah blah, blah blah, blah % of blah, etc etc and was left with $41.50 in cash after those purchases. What was Frank's original starting amount? (A)$100
(B) $120 (C)$150
(D) $180 (E)$200

I will start with (C) 150 ----- if by chance I'm right, that's great. If I wind up with more leftover cash than $41.50, I know I started with too much --- I can eliminate (C) & (D) & (E). If I wind up with less leftover cash than$41.50, I know I started with too little --- I can eliminate (A) & (B) & (C). Does that make sense?

Mike

Even with plugging in this is a humdinger problem!

I tried the algebraic approach first and got stuck. Finally, took a guess.

With plugging in, I will try to time myself but it will take exactly two minutes still.

Case 1:
(x) = Price of the unit
(q) = # of units
Let q = 20
Therefore, x = 15 because qx = 300
Case 2:
x-5 = 10
Given: q + 2n = 30; therefore:
20 + 2n = 30
2n = 10
n = 5

Case 3:
x+5 = 20
Given : q - n = 15
20 - 5 = 15
Done. D is the answer because the equation checks out!

Hello !

I was reviewing some questions and I think this one is not as difficult as it seems. I solved it in less than 2 minutes using equations solving so I felt like it could be useful to other people :

We can write the following equations :

(1) pq = 300
(2) (q+2n)(p-5) = 300
(3) (q-n)(p+5) = 300

Distribute (2) and (3) :

(2) qp -5q +2np -10n = 300
(3) qp +5q -np - 5n = 300

(2) + (3) : 2qp +np -15n = 600
Thanks to (1) you get : np-15n = 0 or n(p-15) = 0

Since n can't be 0 ( it would mean that a lower or higher price doesn't affect the total price and quantities ) you have p-15 = 0 and p =15. With (1), you get q = 300/15 = 20

I know it seems time consuming but it worked for me. And I usually don't like picking numbers..

Let p be price per unit.

From the first condition we get pq = 300.

From the other conditions we get,
(p-5)(q+2n) = pq
=> pq -5q + 2pn - 10n = pq
=> 5q = 2pn - 10n

(p+5)(q-n) = pq
=> pq + 5q - pn -5n = pq
=> 5q = pn + 5n -------(3)

so, 2pn - 10n = pn + 5n
=> pn = 15n
=> p = 15
Then q = 300/15 = 20.

I don't get this at all;

based on the first part: 300/(20+2n)=10 (since q=20, the original price was 15 per unit, minus 5 gives you 10), then the 2nd piece gives you 300/(20-n)=20...and I get stuck. What do I do with those two facts. Also, the part highlighted in red, how do you you know you're looking for that case?

A store sells a certain product at a fixed price per unit. At the product's current price, q units cost a total of exactly $300. If the price were lowered by$5 from its current value, then q + 2n units would cost exactly $300; if the price were raised by$5, then q – n units would cost exactly $300. What is the value of q? a: 10 b: 15 c: 20 d: 25 e: 30 in the solution, they say, this problem is to hard to solve with algebra, so they just put in the answer choices and figure out what ist right... That is ok for me, but I don't get how you can se if a problem of this kind is solvable quickly or if it is better just to go with the answer options. Has anybody an advice about that? The problem above didn't look that hard for me so I spent 2 min with it and got the wrong answer:) Director Status: Tutor - BrushMyQuant Joined: 05 Apr 2011 Posts: 614 Location: India Concentration: Finance, Marketing Schools: XLRI (A) GMAT 1: 570 Q49 V19 GMAT 2: 700 Q51 V31 GPA: 3 WE: Information Technology (Computer Software) Followers: 108 Kudos [?]: 649 [1] , given: 57 Re: A store sells a certain product at a fixed price per unit. [#permalink] ### Show Tags 29 Dec 2014, 20:06 1 This post received KUDOS Am not a big fan of substitution so am posting a solution using algebra (doesn't look like a tough equation to solve) We just need to eliminate the variables which we don't really need to compute If we notice the three equations then we can get that "n" is the variable which is making the equations complex for us. So, let eliminate n first Let price be p pq = 300 (p-5)*(q+2n) = 300 => q+2n = 300/(p-5) ...(1) (p+5)*(q-n) = 300 => q-n = 300/(p+5) => 2q - 2n = 600/(p+5) ..(2) Adding (1) and (2), we get 3q = 300/(p-5) + 600/(p-5) Now, we just have two equations in p and q. (Solving for p as the equation looks easy to me) put q = 300/p 900/p = 300/(p-5) + 600/(p+5) 3/p = (p+5 +2p - 10)/(p^2-25) simplifying we get 3p^2 - 75 - 3p^2 + 5p =0 p =15 => q = 20 edsafari wrote: A store sells a certain product at a fixed price per unit. At the product's current price, q units cost a total of exactly$300. If the price were lowered by $5 from its current value, then q + 2n units would cost exactly$300; if the price were raised by $5, then q – n units would cost exactly$300. What is the value of q?

a: 10 b: 15 c: 20 d: 25 e: 30

in the solution, they say, this problem is to hard to solve with algebra, so they just put in the answer choices and figure out what ist right... That is ok for me, but I don't get how you can se if a problem of this kind is solvable quickly or if it is better just to go with the answer options. Has anybody an advice about that? The problem above didn't look that hard for me so I spent 2 min with it and got the wrong answer:)

have three equations

300/q=p

300/q+2n=p-5

300/q-n=p+5

one option is solving algebraically but it is too long for three variables

started backsolve from q=20 (C)

find that p=15, n=5 and all is OK in this case

C
