-

-

-

-
18
-
19
Correct Answer
A. 18Explanation
If oranges cost 5 for 75p, it means that each orange costs 15p (75p divided by 5). To find out how many oranges can be bought for £2.80, we divide £2.80 by 15p. £2.80 divided by 15p equals 18.67, which means that you can buy 18 oranges with £2.80. Since you cannot buy a fraction of an orange, the answer is 18.Rate this question:

-
46
-
48
-

Correct Answer
A. 48Explanation
The car traveled a distance of 180 miles in a time span of 3 hours and 45 minutes. To find the average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time. Converting the time to hours, we have 3 hours and 45 minutes equal to 3.75 hours. Therefore, the average speed of the car is 180 miles divided by 3.75 hours, which equals 48 miles per hour.Rate this question:

You get a wage increase of 6% plus an extra £5 per week. Your present wages are £250 per week. What will your new wage be?
-
£260
-
£265
-
£270
-
£275
-
£280
Correct Answer
A. £270Explanation
Based on the information given, the question states that the wage increase is 6% plus an additional £5 per week. To calculate the new wage, we first need to find 6% of £250, which is £15. Then we add the additional £5 per week. So the total increase is £15 + £5 = £20. Adding this increase to the present wage of £250, we get £250 + £20 = £270. Therefore, the new wage will be £270.Rate this question:

0, 7 %
-
5 %
-
7 %
-
50 %
Correct Answer
A. 0, 5 %Explanation
Her approximate Return on Sales (ROS) is 0.5%. This means that for every dollar of sales, she is earning 0.5 cents in net income. ROS is a profitability ratio that measures the company's ability to generate profits from its sales. A higher ROS indicates better profitability, while a lower ROS indicates lower profitability. In this case, her ROS is relatively low at 0.5%, suggesting that her net income is only a small portion of her sales.Rate this question:

-
16
-
32

-
64
-

Correct Answer
A. 64Explanation
When each side of a cube is doubled in length, its new volume is calculated by multiplying the original volume by 2 cubed (2^3). Since the original volume is 8 cubic meters, multiplying it by 2^3 gives us 64 cubic meters. Therefore, the new volume of the cube is 64 cubic meters.Rate this question:

If the average price of each PC sold by Manufacturer 2 over all 5 months was £70 what was the total Income of that manufacturer in observed period?
-
£1,147,500
-
£1,177,80O
-
£1,218,000
-
£2,365,500
-
£3,543,300
Correct Answer
A. £1,218,000Explanation
The total income of Manufacturer 2 in the observed period can be calculated by multiplying the average price of each PC sold (£70) by the total number of PCs sold. Since the average price is given, we can assume that the total number of PCs sold is constant throughout the 5 months. Therefore, the total income can be calculated as £70 multiplied by the total number of PCs sold in the observed period. The correct answer of £1,218,000 implies that Manufacturer 2 sold a total of 17,400 PCs (£1,218,000 ÷ £70 = 17,400).Rate this question:
