Question 1

A company spends $18,000 on advertising and generates $270,000 in sales. If they increase ad spend by 25%, and ROI remains constant, what will the new sales figure be?

Accepted Answer

$337,500

Answer

ROI ratio = 270,000/18,000 = 15; new ad spend = $22,500; new sales = 22,500 × 15 = $337,500.

Question 2

A data set has values: 14, 18, 11, 22, 15, 18, 11. What is the mode?

Accepted Answer

11 and 18

Answer

Both 11 and 18 appear twice — more than any other value — making this a bimodal dataset.

Question 3

A ratio table shows output per machine per hour: Machine A=45 units, Machine B=60 units. How many hours will it take both machines working together to produce 945 units?

Accepted Answer

9 hours

Answer

Combined rate = 45 + 60 = 105 units/hr; time = 945 ÷ 105 = 9 hours.

Question 4

Currency exchange: 1 USD = 0.92 EUR. A European company buys goods worth $75,000. How much does it cost in euros?

Accepted Answer

€69,000

Answer

75,000 × 0.92 = 69,000 euros.

Question 5

A table shows expenses for three departments: HR=$32,000, IT=$57,000, Operations=$41,000. If the budget is cut by 12% across the board, what are the new IT department expenses?

Accepted Answer

$50,160

Answer

$57,000 × (1 − 0.12) = $57,000 × 0.88 = $50,160.
