  1. A receptionist logged 156 phone calls over 4 equal workdays. How many calls were received each day?

    Answer: 39

    156 ÷ 4 = 39 calls per day. Dividing the total evenly by the number of days gives the daily call count.

  2. A filing cabinet has 5 drawers, each holding 250 files. If 3 drawers are already full, how many more files can the cabinet store?

    Answer: 500

    5 drawers × 250 = 1,250 total capacity. 3 full drawers hold 3 × 250 = 750 files. Remaining space: 1,250 − 750 = 500 files.

  3. A box of copy paper costs $4.50 per ream. If the office orders 12 reams, what is the total cost?

    Answer: $54.00

    12 × $4.50 = $54.00. Multiply the unit price by the quantity ordered to get the total cost.

  4. A data-entry clerk earns $16.50 per hour and works 38 hours in a week. What is the clerk's gross weekly pay?

    Answer: $627.00

    $16.50 × 38 = $627.00. Multiply the hourly rate by the total hours worked: (16 × 38) + (0.50 × 38) = 608 + 19 = 627.

  5. An office has 480 documents to scan. A clerk scans 60 documents per hour. How many hours will it take to finish the entire batch?

    Answer: 8

    480 ÷ 60 = 8 hours. Dividing the total number of documents by the scanning rate gives the time required.

  6. A department received an invoice for $2,400 and paid 25% upfront. How much remains to be paid?

    Answer: $1,800

    25% of $2,400 = $600 paid upfront. $2,400 − $600 = $1,800 remaining. Subtract the deposit from the full amount.
