42)

Half of the staff with no qualification are aged under 21, compared with a quarter of those
qualified at Level 2 and a third of those qualified at Level 3. None of those qualified at Level 1 
or Level 4 are aged under 21. How many staff in the organisation are aged under 21?
 

 


Correct answer: D

Explanation
Staff without qualification aged under 21 = 406/2 = 203 Staff qualified at level 2 aged below 21 = 
609/3 = 203 Organization’s staff unde  21

If each Level 1 course takes a maximum of 29 staff and costs £1,170 to run, how much would it cost 
to get to the position where 90% of the organisation’s staff are qualified at Level 1 or higher (assuming unqualified staff must start with a Level 1 course and that all staff who take the course achieve the Level 1 qualification)?

 


Correct answer: D

Explanation
Currently, 84% of the organization staff are qualified at level 1 or higher
=> 0.84 x 2900
= 2494
90% of the organization’s staff = 2610
To get to the position where 90% of the organization’s staff are qualified at level one or higher, 
then we need to train more 2610 - 2494 = 116 staff at level 1.
Level 1 course cost 1170 for 29 staff. Training 116 staff will cost 116/29 x 1170
= 4,680
