1. The individual is completing their time sheet. They worked 8 ½ hours on Monday, 8 hours on Tuesday, 6 ¾ hours on Wednesday, and 9 hours each on the last two days of the week. If their hourly pay rate is $15.65, how much would their gross pay be for that week?

A. $645.56
B. $600.50
C. $700.25
D. $650.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total hours worked, add 8.5 + 8 + 6.75 + 9 + 9, which equals 41.25 hours. To determine the gross pay, multiply the total hours worked (41.25) by the hourly rate ($15.65): 41.25 * $15.65 = $645.56. This precise calculation ensures accurate compensation for the hours worked, emphasizing the importance of financial accuracy in payroll management. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the accurate calculation of total hours worked multiplied by the hourly rate, providing a good illustration of the consequences of miscalculations in payroll processing.

2. What number is 98 175% of?

A. 48
B. 52
C. 54
D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

3. A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?

A. 90 pounds
B. 75 pounds
C. 120 pounds
D. 100 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.

4. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

A. 1.25ml
B. 2.5ml
C. 3.75ml
D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.

5. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

A. 7
B. 0
C. 7,777
D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.
