  1. A department has 80 officers and 25% work the night shift. How many work nights?

    25% of 80 is 0.25 × 80 = 20 officers.

  2. What is the average of 12, 18, and 24?

    Answer: 18

    The sum is 54, and 54 ÷ 3 = 18.

  3. A suspect ran 2 blocks north then 3 blocks east. If each block is 100 yards, how far north did he travel?

    2 blocks north at 100 yards each is 2 × 100 = 200 yards.

  4. If a fine is $250 and a 20% surcharge is added, what is the total?

    Answer: $300

    20% of $250 is $50, so the total is $250 + $50 = $300.

  5. An officer drives at 40 mph for 2.5 hours. How far does the officer travel?

    Distance equals speed times time: 40 × 2.5 = 100 miles.
