Title: % comprehension Post by: outragous76 on October 26, 2010, 04:26:17 PM 1. If an average (rate of pay) is 17.07 and then some is allowed to "add an additional 168% to the hourly rate", what do you believe to be the total they can charge
2. If a report suggests that annual output has increased by 256% from 656 in 2009, what is the output in 2010 ? Thanks Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: Cf on October 26, 2010, 04:28:14 PM 1. 45.75
2. 2335.36 Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: TheChipPrince on October 26, 2010, 04:29:46 PM 45.75

Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: gatso on October 26, 2010, 05:23:51 PM this is like school but with easier questions
reckon it's more maths than comprehension though Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: Cf on October 26, 2010, 05:35:44 PM I'm waiting for the twist...
Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: gatso on October 26, 2010, 05:39:28 PM I'm waiting for the twist... maybe the initial rate of pay given in q1 wasn't hourly but included a callout charge Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: EvilPie on October 26, 2010, 05:49:31 PM The way this is worded is very clear so there isn't really any comprehension to it.
Statements 1 and 2 are the same but with different numbers. There's a couple of possible twists if Guy is trying to be [ ]funny but I think this is a genuine question. Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: Bongo on October 26, 2010, 05:55:34 PM My guess is he's trying to figure out how many people answer as have and how many answer 28.68 and 1602.56
Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: doubleup on October 26, 2010, 06:00:00 PM I'm waiting for the twist... perhaps the intended answers are 68% more and 156% more? Title: Re: % comprehension Post by: outragous76 on October 26, 2010, 06:11:01 PM haha
no twist im afraid, i was reading a report for someone who was trying to jazz up his numbers and he talked so much he almost convinced me he was right! (that was eg 2) eg1 was another query today on something - which due to mr talker i felt i should double check! tyty |
