  1. A police officer earns $58,500 per year. What is their approximate monthly salary before tax?

    Answer: $4,875

    $58,500 ÷ 12 = $4,875 per month.

  2. In a robbery case, 3 suspects share stolen cash of $2,340 equally. How much does each suspect receive?

    Answer: $780

    $2,340 ÷ 3 = $780 per suspect.

  3. A police vehicle travels at 90 km/h. How far will it travel in 40 minutes?

    Answer: 60 km

    40 minutes is 2/3 of an hour; 90 × (40/60) = 90 × 0.667 = 60 km.

  4. A crime scene is cordoned off in a rectangle 25 m long and 12 m wide. What is the perimeter of the cordon?

    Answer: 74 m

    Perimeter = 2 × (25 + 12) = 2 × 37 = 74 m.

  5. Out of 60 job applicants to SAPOL, 45 passed the written test. What fraction passed?

    Answer: 3/4

    45/60 simplifies to 3/4 — three quarters of applicants passed the written test.

  6. A patrol shift lasts 10 hours. An officer spends 35% of it on administrative tasks. How many hours does that represent?

    Answer: 3.5 hours

    10 × 0.35 = 3.5 hours spent on administrative tasks.
