Question 1

A UN field office spent $48,600 in Q1 and $52,200 in Q2. What is the percentage increase from Q1 to Q2?

Accepted Answer

7.41%

Answer

Percentage increase = (52,200 − 48,600) / 48,600 × 100 = 3,600 / 48,600 × 100 ≈ 7.41%.

Question 2

A project budget of $250,000 is split among three teams in the ratio 3:5:2. How much does the team with the largest share receive?

Accepted Answer

$125,000

Answer

Total parts = 10; largest share = 5/10 × $250,000 = $125,000.

Question 3

If 1 USD = 0.92 EUR, how many USD does an employee need to convert to receive exactly 690 EUR?

Accepted Answer

$750.00

Answer

USD needed = 690 ÷ 0.92 = 750 USD.

Question 4

A logistics team drove 840 km over 4 days. On the fifth day they drove 20% more than the daily average. How many km did they drive on day 5?

Accepted Answer

252 km

Answer

Daily average = 840 ÷ 4 = 210 km; day 5 = 210 × 1.20 = 252 km.

Question 5

An agency purchased 360 supply kits at $18 each and received a 15% bulk discount. What was the total cost after the discount?
