  1. A department processes 1,200 cases per year. If they increase efficiency by 15%, how many cases will they process?

    Answer: 1,380

    15% of 1,200 = 180. New total: 1,200 + 180 = 1,380.

  2. An officer works an 8-hour shift. If 30% is spent on patrol, 25% on reports, and 15% on court, how many hours remain?

    Answer: 2.4 hours

    Allocated: 70%. Remaining: 30% of 8 hours = 2.4 hours.

  3. If a radar gun shows a vehicle traveling at 72 feet per second, approximately how fast is that in miles per hour?

    Answer: 49 mph

    72 x 3,600 / 5,280 = 49.1 mph, approximately 49 mph.

  4. A rectangular parking lot is 200 feet by 150 feet. If each parking space requires 180 square feet, what is the maximum number of spaces?

    Answer: 166

    Area = 30,000 sq ft. Spaces = 30,000 / 180 = 166.67, maximum 166.

  5. Three officers split a $750 overtime fund in the ratio 3:2:1. How much does the officer with the largest share receive?

    Answer: $375

    Total parts: 6. Largest share: 3/6 x $750 = $375.

  6. A stolen vehicle was driven 132 miles on 6 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon did it average?

    Answer: 22 mpg

    132 / 6 = 22 mpg.
