  1. A clerk is processing expense reports. If a reimbursement rate is $0.67 per mile and an employee drove 145 miles, what is the total reimbursement?

    Answer: $97.15

    145 × $0.67 = $97.15.

  2. An office orders 12 boxes of pens at $4.75 per box and 8 reams of paper at $6.50 per ream. What is the total supply cost?

    Answer: $109.00

    12 × $4.75 = $57.00; 8 × $6.50 = $52.00; $57.00 + $52.00 = $109.00.

  3. A department's monthly budget is $3,200. They have spent $1,876. What percentage of the budget remains?

    Answer: 41.4%

    Remaining: $3,200 - $1,876 = $1,324. Percentage: ($1,324 / $3,200) × 100 = 41.375% ≈ 41.4%.

  4. If a document has 42 pages and needs to be copied for 15 people, with each copy using both sides of paper, how many sheets of paper are needed?

    Answer: 315 sheets

    42 pages ÷ 2 (double-sided) = 21 sheets per copy. 21 × 15 = 315 sheets.

  5. A clerical worker earns $18.50 per hour and works 37.5 hours per week. What is the gross weekly pay?

    Answer: $693.75

    $18.50 × 37.5 = $693.75.

    Answer: 328

    250 - 87 + 45 + 120 = 328 items.
