  1. A city building inspector completes 12 inspections per day. If she works 5 days a week, how many inspections will she complete in 3 weeks?

    Answer: 180

    12 inspections/day × 5 days/week × 3 weeks = 12 × 15 = 180 inspections total.

  2. A municipal water meter reads 48,320 gallons at the start of the month and 51,745 gallons at the end. What is the total water usage for the month?

    Answer: 3,425 gallons

    51,745 − 48,320 = 3,425 gallons consumed during the month.

  3. A transit department orders 240 gallons of cleaning solution to be divided equally among 16 bus depots. How many gallons does each depot receive?

    240 ÷ 16 = 15 gallons per depot.

  4. A city employee earns $19.80 per hour and receives 1.5 times the regular rate for overtime. If she works 40 regular hours and 6 overtime hours in one week, what is her total gross pay?

    Answer: $930.60

    Regular pay: 40 × $19.80 = $792. Overtime rate: $19.80 × 1.5 = $29.70. Overtime pay: 6 × $29.70 = $178.20. Total: $792 + $178.20 = $970.20.

  5. A civil service test has 80 questions. A candidate answered 68 questions correctly. What percentage of questions did the candidate answer correctly?
