Question 1

Accepted Answer

March

Answer

March increased from $9K to $15K, a 66.7% rise, which is the largest percentage increase of any month shown.

Question 2

All managers received bonuses. Some bonus recipients were promoted. Which conclusion is definitely true?

Accepted Answer

Some managers were promoted

Answer

Since all managers received bonuses and some bonus recipients were promoted, it is possible that some managers were among those promoted — making this the only valid conclusion.

Question 3

A pie chart shows budget allocation: Personnel 45%, Equipment 20%, Training 15%, Miscellaneous 20%. If the total budget is $200,000, how much is spent on Training and Equipment combined?

Accepted Answer

$70,000

Answer

Training (15%) + Equipment (20%) = 35% of $200,000 = $70,000.

Question 4

In a sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___, what is the next number?

Accepted Answer

162

Answer

Each term is multiplied by 3, so 54 × 3 = 162.

Question 5

A line graph shows a company's revenue rising steadily from 2018 to 2021, then dropping sharply in 2022. What is the most reasonable inference?

Accepted Answer

Something significant changed in 2022 affecting revenue

Answer

A sharp drop after steady growth suggests a significant event occurred in 2022, but the graph alone cannot support predictions about closure or recovery.
