  1. A sanitation crew collects waste from 3 routes. Route A takes 2.5 hours, Route B takes 3.75 hours, and Route C takes 1.25 hours. What is the total time for all three routes?

    Answer: 7.5 hours

    2.5 + 3.75 + 1.25 = 7.5 hours total.

  2. A records office has 2,400 files. If 35% are archived digitally, how many files remain in physical storage?

    Answer: 1,560

    35% of 2,400 = 840; 2,400 − 840 = 1,560 files remain in physical storage.

  3. A transit worker earns $28.50 per hour and works 40 hours in a standard week. What is his gross weekly pay?

    Answer: $1,140

    $28.50 × 40 = $1,140 gross weekly pay.

  4. A city block has 24 properties, and a tax assessor must visit each property twice per year. If she visits 8 properties per day, how many days will it take to complete all visits for the year?

    Answer: 6

    24 properties × 2 visits = 48 total visits; 48 ÷ 8 = 6 days.

  5. An office orders 15 reams of paper at $4.80 per ream and 8 boxes of pens at $6.25 per box. What is the total cost of the order?

    Answer: $122

    15 × $4.80 = $72; 8 × $6.25 = $50; $72 + $50 = $122 total.

  6. A civil service test has 80 questions. A passing score requires answering at least 70% correctly. What is the minimum number of questions a candidate must answer correctly to pass?

    Answer: 56

    70% of 80 = 0.70 × 80 = 56 questions required to pass.
