  1. A table shows employee absences by month. If the total for the year is 360 absences and January had 45, what percentage of annual absences occurred in January?

    Answer: 12.5%

    45 / 360 × 100 = 12.5% of annual absences occurred in January.

  2. Agency expenditures are: Personnel $2.4M, Operations $1.6M, Equipment $0.8M, Other $0.2M. What fraction of total expenditures goes to personnel?

    Answer: 48%

    Total = $5.0M; Personnel = $2.4M; $2.4M / $5.0M × 100 = 48% of expenditures go to personnel.

  3. A line graph shows service delivery times decreasing from 14 days in 2023 to 11 days in 2024 to 8 days in 2025. If the trend continues, what would the delivery time be in 2026?

    Answer: 5 days

    The delivery time decreases by 3 days each year; 8 − 3 = 5 days projected for 2026.

  4. A department has a staff of 80. If 15% are on leave today, how many staff members are present?

    Answer: 68

    15% of 80 = 12 on leave; present staff = 80 − 12 = 68 employees.

  5. A table shows four agencies' processing times (in days): Agency A=12, Agency B=9, Agency C=15, Agency D=6. What is the median processing time?

    Answer: 10.5 days

    Arranged in order: 6, 9, 12, 15; median of 4 values = (9 + 12) / 2 = 10.5 days.

  6. Government revenue this year is $5.4 billion. If revenue grew by 8% from last year, what was last year's revenue (rounded to the nearest tenth of a billion)?

    Answer: $5.0 billion

    Last year's revenue = $5.4B ÷ 1.08 = $5.0 billion (rounded to the nearest tenth).
