  1. A suspect runs at 12 km/h. A Garda runs at 15 km/h. If the suspect has a 100-metre head start, approximately how long until the Garda catches up?

    Answer: 2 minutes

    Relative speed = 15 − 12 = 3 km/h = 50 m/min. Time = 100 ÷ 50 = 2 minutes.

  2. If 45 out of 180 crimes in a district are vehicle-related, what percentage is that?

    Answer: 25%

    Percentage = (45 ÷ 180) × 100 = 25%.

  3. A court fee is €85. If VAT at 23% is added, what is the total?

    Answer: €104.55

    VAT = 23% of €85 = €19.55. Total = €85 + €19.55 = €104.55.

  4. In a year, a station deals with 1,200 incidents. What is the average per month?

    Answer: 100

    Average per month = 1,200 ÷ 12 = 100 incidents.

  5. A Garda travels 15 km to work each way. Working 5 days a week, how many km does she travel in 4 weeks?

    Answer: 600

    Daily travel = 15 × 2 = 30 km. Weekly = 30 × 5 = 150 km. Over 4 weeks = 150 × 4 = 600 km.

  6. If a crime rate drops by 8% from 250 incidents, what is the new total?

    Answer: 230

    8% of 250 = 20. New total = 250 − 20 = 230 incidents.
