The Concord Police Department has 18 employees whose total salary last year was $855,000. The average salary of state employees with the same mix of responsibility and qualifications is $50,000. Is your department above or below the company average?

  1. Below by 20%
  2. Above by 10%
  3. Below by 5%
  4. Above by 15%
  5. Above by 75%
Explanation

Answer: C - $855,000 divided by 18 employees is $47,500, which is 5% below the state average. Divide your workers' total salary by the number of workers. There is a $2,500 difference between the average salary in your division and the company's average. $2,500 is 5% of $50,000.
