During a certain two-week period, 50 percent of the movies rented from a video store were comedies, and of the remaining movies rented, there were 9 times as many dramas as action movies. If no other movies were rented during that two-week period and there were A action movies rented, then how many comedies, in terms of A, were rented during that two-week period?  Choices:
A) 5 A  B) 10 A  C) 20 A  D) 25 A  E) 28 A
Movies: 50 % comedies. 50 % remaining genre.   Now in this 50 %, there are only 2 categories. Action movies and Drama Movies.   If Action = x; Drama movies = 9x. Total 10x.   10x = 50; x = 5   Action movies: 5 %   Drama movies: 45 %   we can say that out of 100z,:   comedies: 50z   action: 5z   drama: 45 z   Now action movies were A   This means:   A = 5z.   z = (A/5)   Comedies: 50z = 50 * (A/5)   10 A   10 A is the answer.
