Question 1: A project has a budget of $120,000. After spending 35%, how much remains?
- $42,000
- $78,000 (Correct answer)
- $80,000
- $85,000
Correct answer: $78,000
$120,000 × (1 − 0.35) = $120,000 × 0.65 = $78,000.
Question 2: If the ratio of managers to staff in a company is 2:9 and there are 44 managers, how many staff members are there?
- 176

Correct answer: 198
44 managers ÷ 2 × 9 = 198 staff members.
Question 3: A car depreciates at 18% per year. If it is currently worth $22,000, what will it be worth after one year?
- $17,600
- $18,040 (Correct answer)
- $18,400
- $19,000
Correct answer: $18,040
$22,000 × (1 − 0.18) = $22,000 × 0.82 = $18,040.
Question 4: In a survey of 400 employees, 60% prefer remote work, 25% prefer hybrid, and the rest prefer in-office. How many prefer in-office?
- 40
- 50
- 60 (Correct answer)

- 12 hours
- 15 hours
- 18 hours (Correct answer)
- 20 hours
Correct answer: 18 hours
Net fill rate = 1/6 − 1/9 = 3/18 − 2/18 = 1/18; time = 18 hours.
