  1. A city clerk processes 144 permit applications over an 8-hour shift. If she processes them at a constant rate, how many applications does she process in 3 hours?

    Answer: 48

    144 ÷ 8 = 18 applications per hour; 18 × 3 = 54 — wait, 18 × 3 = 54, but 144/8=18 and 18×3=54, so the correct answer is 54.

  2. A department budget of $480,000 is divided equally among 6 divisions. How much does each division receive?

    Answer: $80,000

    $480,000 ÷ 6 = $80,000 per division.

  3. A civil service applicant scored 72, 85, 91, and 78 on four sections of an exam. What is the average score across all four sections?

    Answer: 81.5

    (72 + 85 + 91 + 78) ÷ 4 = 326 ÷ 4 = 81.5.

  4. An inspector completes 5 building inspections every 2 days. At this rate, how many inspections will she complete in 14 days?

    Answer: 35

    5 inspections per 2 days = 2.5 per day; 2.5 × 14 = 35 inspections.

  5. A supply order costs $3,750 before a 12% discount. What is the final cost after the discount?

    Answer: $3,300

    12% of $3,750 = $450; $3,750 − $450 = $3,300.

  6. If a city employee earns $62,400 per year, what is her biweekly gross pay (assuming 26 pay periods per year)?

    Answer: $2,400

    $62,400 ÷ 26 = $2,400 per biweekly pay period.
