I take the asvab on the 15th January 2025, I have one more day to study. Ive used your practice videos for the past 3 weeks to prepare myself. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

download the app and take the prediction test. Try to get 80 or higher. then you can get 92 0r higher. If you need help you can also try 1-on-1 tutoring

Thank you sir. Watched you math knowledge and arithmetic reasoning videos as well as this one this past weekend. I took the ASVAB in 2013 and got a 60 with a 105 GT score without studying. Took the ASVAB yesterday and got a 95 overall with a 128 GT score. Already referred people to your channel
I did Problem 3 totally different i wrote first X= Original price.. Y = 150% Price .5x+x=y then, y - .2y=12 (20% off the 50% PRICE) SOLVED for Y= 15 Lastly, solved for X in .5x+x=15 or 1.5x=15 (x=10) your way was easier than mine!
True intelligence is not in the ability to form answers, but in the ability to form questions. And solve them. The question is who is asking all of these questions. ✝️
I wouldve loved to have been able to pass the ASVAB test back in my day.. Way back in 1999. How hard is it compared to the SATs..? I never took SATs I wasn't a good student
Just found your channel. Do you have any recommendations where to start when studying for the math/arithmetic reasoning sections for AFOQT? I’m hoping to retake by the end of the year and this was my weakest area.
Problem no 1. cost of fish is 150% in a supermarket than fish market, so for sure price of fish is more than 5.40 in a supermarket not less than 5.40, let assume fish market price is 100, that time supermarket price is 150 so if the price in fish market is 5.40 the we have to find out supermarket price so equation will be 150/100=x(assume for supermarket price)/5.40, do the cross multiplication 100*x=5.40*150 next step is 100x=810, next step, we have to take out the value of x then 100 is multiplying before = then after = it will be division so 810/100 so answer will be 8.10, that's why price of fish in supermarket in $8.10, D is correct choice from my point of view.
No B is the correct answer choice. The Fish market price is $5.40, which is up by 150% more than at the supermarket. The supermarket price is 100% at the original price of $3.60.
Are these really the hardest? Is there no like using multiple quadratic formulas and point slope or something and needing to know how to graph or anything? I keep trying to find those on the asvab but its hard finding practice problems that use it, are they just not on the asvab?
Problem no 3. storekeeper increase price 50% of actual price, but cat food did not sell so they reduce by 20% means 50%-20%=30% so let's assume if the actual price is 100% then storekeeper sell for 130%. He sell it for 12 means 130%=12 so let's put in our equation 130/100=12/x(actual price of the product). do the cross multiplication 130*x=100*12, next step 130x=1200, we have to take out the value of x then x=1200/130, answer is 9.23. So my answer for this question is $9.23 cents. that is in No.-C in the question. Thank you.
Hi how’d you get 1.5 on problem 3??? I understand all of it I just can’t seem to see where you pulled the number from?! Can anyone help a brother out I’m taking my ASVAB in 2 days
It's actually 0.8 S. He got 0.8 by taking 1 from 20%. Same way he got 1.5 by adding 1 to 50%. Because the question says the original cost was reduced by 20% ( which translates to 1-20%), the question also says the cost was increased by 50% (which translates to 1+50%). Hope this helps.
@@adeyemo7576 thats what confused me. it doesnt say original cost tho it says the cost was reduced by 20% when it didnt sell so wouldnt that make it 130% not 80%?
"What was the cost of the store owner on a bag of cat food?" Some of these questions are worded so bizarrely which makes it even more difficult and unclear. Why can't it just ask what the original price was?
this channel its only for smart people if you are looking for a more easy level go to grammar hero where his videos last one hour because he put every single step of the exercise on his videos
@@ColfaxMath I was lost there although I knew it was a S not a five but none the less you're very helpful but if you can please explain how you getting each number will be ideal cause it's a timed test so small mistakes would cost you big time but again thank you very much

Did you use any other study material besides these wonderful videos?
For question 3 where did you get 1.5 from? Also where did you get the .8 from as well? Thank you.
150 percent, the full amount plus 50 percent more.
this is superb.This is just making complex issues looks small

Yes, I have a few videos on the AFOQT search ColfaxMath AFOQT
You confused me at 3:12.. with the 15 and 90 ? Is 230? I’m confused a bit
15 goes into 90 six times

No B is the correct answer choice. The Fish market price is $5.40, which is up by 150% more than at the supermarket. The supermarket price is 100% at the original price of $3.60.

I don't think that is quite right as the percent mark ups and downs are on the new prices
What did you say at 3:12 ? I didn’t understand what you said
Never mind I got it.
15 goes into 90 six times. Sorry it wasn't more clear
Hi how’d you get 1.5 on problem 3??? I understand all of it I just can’t seem to see where you pulled the number from?!
Can anyone help a brother out I’m taking my ASVAB in 2 days
The 1.5 is the whole amount plus the 50% Good luck
For problem 3 how did you get .85 = 12? I don't get it 😕
Same here im trying to figure out how he got those numbers:/
I’m trying figure out how he get 1.5 on this problem 🥴
It's actually 0.8 S. He got 0.8 by taking 1 from 20%. Same way he got 1.5 by adding 1 to 50%. Because the question says the original cost was reduced by 20% ( which translates to 1-20%), the question also says the cost was increased by 50% (which translates to 1+50%). Hope this helps.
"S" being the selling/original price
@@adeyemo7576 thats what confused me. it doesnt say original cost tho it says the cost was reduced by 20% when it didnt sell so wouldnt that make it 130% not 80%?
Is these the questions that’s on the test test ?
No these are just sample questions similar to the ones that might be on the test
how did you come up with 1.5 on question 3?
1.5 is from the full amount plus the fifty percent
i take my picat monday barley been studying i promise im passing i hope this video help
Good luck
I remember problem 5 on my picat test 😂
Was it similar to these problems?
@@ColfaxMath yes, that was the exact problem I remember struggling the most on, won’t forget it lol

Are theses really on the ASVAB ?
These are sample problems that might be similar to the problems on the ASVAB
I was completely lost on problem 3 where does 1.5 even come from I feel so stupid
Glad im not the only one
When they say an increase it means (100+50)% 150 same as 1.5 when converted from a percentage 😊😊
The price was originally at 100% value to start then ADDED 50% price increase on top of that to make 150%. 150=1.5 as the other commenters said
None of these questions were on my test
They are only sample problems that are similar to the problems that might be on the test. What type of problems did you have on there?
@@ColfaxMath mostly simple algebraic expressions
@@whiteeli4989 There are 15-16 versions of the ASVAB Test. If you practice those questions it will help to prepare for the test.
