GRE Math Problem 76

Compare two values:
Column A Column B
The measure, in degrees, of the smaller angle formed by the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 11:20 140

Solution for GRE Math Problem 75:

As he made a 25% profit on one painting, he sold it for 125% of the original price.
 $2000=125%
$1600=100% - its original price was $1600

As he had a 25% loss on the second painting, he sold it for 75% of the original price.

$2000=75%
$2666.(6)=100% - its original price was $2666.(6)

Last year Leo paid for both paintings $1600+$2666.(6)=$4266 and this year he got $4000 for selling them. So, he lost more than $100

  Answer:(C) He lost more than $100.
