23)

In one year, there were 1.9 million mail shots sent out to people aged 65 and over compared to
1.1 million mail shots sent out to people aged 16-24 years old. How many more sales were likely
to have been made to people aged 65 and over?


 


Correct answer: C

Explanation
Considering 65 and over year olds 10,000 mailshots = 9 sales
1.9 million = (9 x 1.9)/10,000 = 1710 sales Considering the 16 - 24 year olds
10,000 = 12
1.1m = (12 x 1.1m)/10,000
= 1320 sales
difference = 1710 - 1320
= 390 more sales

24)

Last year there were 630 sales recorded for the 45-54 year old group. How many mail shots
would have been sent out to reach this figure?
 

 


Correct answer: E

Explanation
Again, using simple proportion 10,000 mailshots generated 8 sales x mailshots will generate 630 
sales x = (10,000 x 630)/8
= 787,500

25)

Assuming 400,000 mail shots were sent out to 25-34 year olds, how many more enquiries would
be generated compared to actual sales?

 

 


Correct answer: C

Explanation
Because of time constraint, solve this problem using simple proportion. 10,000 mails generated 36 
inquiries
400,000 will generate (36 x 400,000)/100,000 = 1,560 Also, 10,000 mail shots generated 14 sales
400,000 will generate 560 sales
1560 - 560 = 1,000
