Question 1: A company's revenue was $240,000 in Q1 and $300,000 in Q2. What is the percentage increase from Q1 to Q2?
- 20%
- 25% (Correct answer)
- 15%
- 60%
Correct answer: 25%
Percentage increase = (300,000 − 240,000) / 240,000 × 100 = 25%.

- 413
- 447
- 446.7 (Correct answer)
- 440
Correct answer: 446.7
(450 + 380 + 510) / 3 = 1,340 / 3 ≈ 446.7 units.
Question 3: A pie chart shows that Department A receives 35% of a $2,000,000 budget. How much does Department A receive?
- $600,000
- $700,000 (Correct answer)
- $650,000
- $750,000
Correct answer: $700,000
35% of $2,000,000 = 0.35 × 2,000,000 = $700,000.
Question 4: A table shows output per worker: Worker X = 48 units/day, Worker Y = 36 units/day. What is Worker X's output as a ratio compared to Worker Y?
- 3:2
- 4:3 (Correct answer)
- 5:4
- 2:1
Correct answer: 4:3
48:36 simplifies to 4:3 by dividing both by 12.

- 12%
- 15% (Correct answer)
- 17.5%
- 7.5%
Correct answer: 15%
Percentage decrease = (50 − 42.50) / 50 × 100 = 7.50 / 50 × 100 = 15%.
Question 6: A data table shows costs of $12,400, $9,800, $15,600, and $11,200 across four quarters. What is the median quarterly cost?
- $11,200

- $12,000
Correct answer: $11,800
Sorted: $9,800; $11,200; $12,400; $15,600 — median = ($11,200 + $12,400) / 2 = $11,800.
