Julie runs a small art museum. How many paintings does her museum have?

(1) Her next acquisition of 4 Monet paintings will increase the number of paintings in the museum’s collection by 10%.
4 represents 10 percent of the paintings. This gives us an actual number (40)
sufficient

(2) The museum currently exhibits 3 impressionist paintings for every 2 non-impressionist paintings.
the ratio does not actually give us an exact number
insufficient

Answer: A

Kudos for a correct solution.

VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

Question Type: What Is the Value? This question asks you to provide a specific number of paintings in the museum.

Statement 1: 4 new paintings will increase the number of paintings in the museum by 10%. This can be written as “4 = 0.1x” with x equaling the total number of paintings. Clearly this will be sufficient to provide a specific answer to the question and there is no need to actually solve this equation. This statement is sufficient. The answer will be either A or D.

Statement 2: The ratio of impressionist to non-impressionist paintings is 3:2. This information does not allow you to arrive at a specific number since you do not know either the number of impressionist or the number of non-impressionist paintings. Not sufficient.

The answer is A.
