15% = 16.5
=> 100% = ?
100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110

Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5
Q = 50% of 110 = 55
R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66

Q:

A local delivery company has three packages to deliver to three different homes. if the packages are delivered at random to the three houses, how many ways are there for at least one house to get the wrong package?

A) 3 B) 5
C) 3! D) 5!
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

The possible outcomes that satisfy the condition of "at least one house gets the wrong package" are:
One house gets the wrong package or two houses get the wrong package or three houses get the wrong package.

We can calculate each of these cases and then add them together, or approach this problem from a different angle.
The only case which is left out of the condition is the case where no wrong packages are delivered.

If we determine the total number of ways the three packages can be delivered and then subtract the one case from it, the remainder will be the three cases above.

There is only one way for no wrong packages delivered to occur. This is the same as everyone gets the right package.

The first person must get the correct package and the second person must get the correct package and the third person must get the correct package.
 1×1×1=1

Determine the total number of ways the three packages can be delivered.
 3×2×1=6

The number of ways at least one house gets the wrong package is:
  6−1=5
Therefore there are 5 ways for at least one house to get the wrong package.

This month the job will consists of 1500 calls. If the three supporters each increase their work proportionately, how many more calls will the second supporter take this month than last month ?

A) 131 calls B) 160 calls
C) 491 calls D) 600 calls
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 131 calls

Explanation:

1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls

So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400

So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15

Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.
