  1. A report shows that Department X reduced costs by 12% to arrive at a final budget of $528,000. What was the original budget?

    Answer: $600,000

    If $528,000 = 88% of the original budget, then original = $528,000 ÷ 0.88 = $600,000.

  2. A table shows permits issued: 2021=840, 2022=920, 2023=1,000, 2024=1,080. What is the consistent annual increase?

    Answer: 80

    920−840=80, 1,000−920=80, 1,080−1,000=80; the consistent annual increase is 80 permits.

  3. If a government agency's error rate is 4.5 per 1,000 processed items, how many errors would occur in 20,000 processed items?

    Answer: 90

    4.5 errors per 1,000 items × 20 (since 20,000 ÷ 1,000 = 20) = 90 errors expected.

  4. Three employees processed 120, 95, and 145 cases respectively in a week. What is the total number of cases processed?

    Answer: 360

    120 + 95 + 145 = 360 total cases processed by the three employees.

  5. A government survey shows satisfaction ratings of 78%, 82%, 75%, 89%, and 81% across five service centers. What is the average satisfaction rating?

    Answer: 81%

    Sum = 78 + 82 + 75 + 89 + 81 = 405; average = 405 ÷ 5 = 81% satisfaction rating.

  6. A chart shows that Agency B's budget allocation changed from 18% to 24% of the total budget. If the total budget is $10 million, how much more does Agency B receive now?

    Answer: $600,000

    Old allocation = 18% × $10M = $1.8M; new = 24% × $10M = $2.4M; increase = $2.4M − $1.8M = $600,000.
