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.
| Route | Fuel per day | Fixed monthly cost | Deliveries per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Check the assessment named in your invitation. Calculators are generally permitted for numerical tests unless your invitation says otherwise.
A practice pass covers SHL Numerical only, including both modes. Completed answers and worked reviews stay available without a current pass. Short practice and timed practice share the same access allowance.
Independent preparation. Not affiliated with or endorsed by SHL. Practice accuracy is not an official SHL score or an employer pass prediction.
