Delivery costs
A distributor compares the cost of its delivery routes. Each route runs 20 days per month. Fuel is the only variable cost. Fixed monthly costs already include driver pay.

| North | $60 | $2,400 | 120 |
| Central | $90 | $1,800 | 180 |
| South | $45 | $2,700 | 150 |
Set each bar to the total cost per delivery, in dollars. Include both fuel and fixed costs.

Which SHL numerical test?
SHL Verify Interactive Numerical Reasoning uses interactive tasks, lasts 18 minutes and has a maximum of 10 questions. Its adaptive assessment differs from our fixed, balanced practice forms. These original chart exercises build numerical reasoning skills; they do not reproduce SHL’s questions or scoring.
SHL Numerical Ability is a different, multiple-choice assessment: up to 16 questions in 20 minutes. You can practice the multiple-choice format here. Check the assessment named in your invitation. Calculators are generally permitted for numerical tests unless your invitation says otherwise.
One SHL Numerical pass covers this interactive track’s drill replays and full timed test, and SHL Calculation practice. Numerical Ability has its own separate pass. Each short drill has its own trial where included in your access; the full test requires a pass unless your account includes it. Completed answers and worked reviews stay free to reopen.
