RBC Numerical Reasoning and Data 2

Question 1

A store's revenue increased from $240,000 to $276,000 over one year. What was the percentage increase?

Accepted Answer

15%

Answer

Percentage increase = (276,000 − 240,000) / 240,000 × 100 = 36,000 / 240,000 × 100 = 15%.

Question 2

A bar chart shows quarterly sales: Q1=$85k, Q2=$92k, Q3=$78k, Q4=$105k. What is the average quarterly sales?

Accepted Answer

$87,500

Answer

Average = (85 + 92 + 78 + 105) / 4 = 360 / 4 = $90k — wait, that is $90,000, but let me recheck: 85+92=177, 78+105=183, 177+183=360, 360/4=90. The answer is $90,000.

Question 3

If 3 workers complete a project in 12 days, how many days would 9 workers take to complete the same project?

Accepted Answer

4 days

Answer

Total work = 3 × 12 = 36 worker-days; 9 workers take 36 / 9 = 4 days.

Question 4

A pie chart shows department budgets: Sales 35%, Operations 25%, HR 15%, IT 20%, Admin 5%. If total budget is $2,000,000, what is the IT budget?

Accepted Answer

$400,000

Answer

IT budget = 20% × $2,000,000 = $400,000.
