A total of 1600 people work for a company. The ratio of male to female employees is 3:5.How many more females than males are there in the company?
- A.
400
- B.
600
- C.
960
- D.
200
Correct Answer
A. 400Explanation
The ratio of male to female employees is 3:5. This means that for every 3 males, there are 5 females. To find the difference in the number of females and males, we can subtract the number of males from the number of females. 5-3 = 2. This means that for every 2 sets of the ratio (3 males and 5 females), there is a difference of 2 females. Since there are 1600 employees in total, we can divide 1600 by 2 to find the number of sets of the ratio. 1600/2 = 800. Therefore, there are 800 sets of the ratio, which means there are 800*2 = 1600 more females than males.Rate this question:

A company has a mark up of 30% on the cost of sales.The cost of sales amounted to £150,000. What was the sales figure?
- A.
200,000
- B.
195,000
- C.
120,000
- D.
100,000
Correct Answer
B. 195,000Explanation
The mark up of 30% on the cost of sales means that the selling price is 130% of the cost price. To find the sales figure, we need to divide the cost of sales (£150,000) by 130% (1.3). £150,000 divided by 1.3 is equal to £115,384.62. Therefore, the sales figure is £115,384.62, which is closest to the given answer of £195,000.Rate this question:

A company has a ratio of 4: 1 between sales and wages. If the wages amounted to £75,000 then calculate the value of sales?
- A.
£150,000
- B.
£300,000
- C.
£400,000
- D.
£250,000
Correct Answer
B. £300,000Explanation
The ratio of 4:1 between sales and wages means that for every 4 units of sales, there is 1 unit of wages. If the wages amount to £75,000, then we can set up the equation 4x = £75,000, where x represents the value of each unit of sales. Solving for x, we find that x = £75,000/4 = £18,750. To calculate the total value of sales, we multiply the value of each unit by the total number of units, which is 4. Therefore, the value of sales is 4 x £18,750 = £75,000.Rate this question:

Overtime in a company is paid at a rate of "time and a quarter". The normal payment rate is £5.60 per hour. One employee works a normal 40 hour wek and 4 hours overtime.How much is she paid?
- A.
£224.00
- B.
£246.40
- C.

- D.
£308.00
Correct Answer
C. £252.00Explanation
The employee works 40 hours at the normal payment rate of £5.60 per hour, which amounts to £224.00. For the 4 hours of overtime, the employee is paid at a rate of "time and a quarter", which means 1.25 times the normal payment rate. So, for the overtime hours, the employee is paid 4 hours x £5.60 x 1.25 = £28.00. Adding this to the normal payment, the total amount the employee is paid is £224.00 + £28.00 = £252.00.Rate this question:
