Question: 93

Difficulty: 4 (Moderately Easy)
Category 1: Word Problems > Data Interpretation >

Explanation: Statement (1) is insufficient: it allows you to find the percent cancellation fee charged (35%), but not the specific day between 45 and 31 that the trip was cancelled on. Statement (2) is also insufficient: if a difference of one day would've increased the cancellation fee by $255 (15% of $1,700), it could be last day of the 35% period or the 50\period.

Taken together, the statements are sufficient. (1) indicates that the cancellation date was between 45 and 31 days before departure, and (2) tells us that the cancellation date was the last day before the cancellation fee increased. Thus, the cancellation date must be the 31st day before departure, so choice (C) is correct.
