Question 1

A community center's budget for a renovation project is $12,500. If 30% of the budget is allocated for plumbing, 45% for electrical work, and the remainder for painting, how much money is allocated for painting?

Accepted Answer

$3,125

Answer

First, calculate the total percentage allocated to plumbing and electrical work: 30% + 45% = 75%. The remaining percentage for painting is 100% - 75% = 25%. To find the amount for painting, calculate 25% of the total budget: 0.25 * $12,500 = $3,125.

Question 2

An inventory clerk can stock 15 boxes per hour. If the clerk works for 6.5 hours, but takes a 30-minute break, how many boxes will be stocked?

Accepted Answer

90 boxes

Answer

The clerk's total work time is 6.5 hours minus the 30-minute (0.5 hour) break, which equals 6 hours of work. To find the total boxes stocked, multiply the stocking rate by the actual work hours: 15 boxes/hour * 6 hours = 90 boxes.

Question 3

A set of blueprints has a scale of 1 inch : 5 feet. If a wall is represented as 4.5 inches long on the blueprint, what is the actual length of the wall?

Accepted Answer

22.5 feet

Answer

To find the actual length of the wall, multiply the length on the blueprint by the scale factor. The calculation is 4.5 inches * 5 feet/inch = 22.5 feet.

Question 4

A company's sales increased from 250 units in the first quarter to 325 units in the second quarter. Which of the following represents the percentage increase in sales?

Accepted Answer

30%

Answer

The formula for percentage increase is ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) * 100. The increase in units is 325 - 250 = 75. The percentage increase is (75 / 250) * 100 = 0.30 * 100 = 30%.

Question 5

A technician needs to cut a 12-foot pipe into smaller pieces measuring 1.5 feet each. If each cut takes 2 minutes, what is the total time required to cut the entire pipe into the required number of pieces?

Accepted Answer

14 minutes

Answer

First, determine the number of pieces: 12 feet / 1.5 feet/piece = 8 pieces. To get 8 pieces, you need to make 7 cuts. Finally, calculate the total time: 7 cuts * 2 minutes/cut = 14 minutes.
