Sample of PZ Cussons Job Test Past Questions and Answers
- Conversions
(i). Changing Decimals to Percents
To change decimals to percents: - Move the decimal point two places to the right.
- Insert a percent sign.
.75 = 75% .05 = 5%
(ii). Changing Percents to Decimals
To change percents to decimals: - Eliminate the percent sign.
- Move the decimal point two places to the left. (Sometimes adding zeros will be
necessary.)
75% = .75 5% = .05
23% = .23 .2% = .002
(iii). Changing Fractions to Percents
To change a fraction to a percent: - Multiply by 100.
- Insert a percent sign.
1⁄2 = (1⁄2) × 100 = 100⁄2 = 50%
2⁄5 = (2⁄5) × 100 = 200⁄5 = 40%

(iv). Changing Percents to Fractions
To change percents to fractions:
- Divide the percent by 100.
- Eliminate the percent sign.
- Reduce if necessary.
60% = 60⁄100 = 3⁄5 13% = 13⁄100
(v). Changing Fractions to Decimals
To change a fraction to a decimal, simply do what the operation says. In other words,
13⁄20 means 13 divided by 20. So do just that (insert decimal points and zeros
accordingly):
.65 .625
20 √ 13.00 = .65 8 √5.00 = .625
Changing Decimals to Fractions
To change a decimal to a fraction: - Move the decimal point two places to the right.
- Put that number over 100.
- Reduce if necessary.
.65 = 65⁄100 = 13⁄20
.05 = 5⁄100 = 1⁄20
.75 = 75⁄100 = 3⁄4

Finding Percent of a Number
To determine percent of a number, change the percent to a fraction or decimal
(whichever is easier for you) and multiply. Remember, the word “of” means multiply.
What is 20% of 80?
(20⁄100) × 80 = 1600⁄100 = 16 or .20 × 80 = 16.00 = 16
What is 12% of 50?
(12⁄100) × 50 = 600⁄100 = 6 or .12 × 50 = 6.00 = 6
What is 1⁄2% of 18?
½ /100 × 18 = (1/200) × 18 = 18/200 = 9/100 or .005 × 18 = .09
Other Applications of Percent
Turn the question word-for-word into an equation. For “what” substitute the letter x;
for “is” substitute an equal sign; for “of” substitute a multiplication sign.
Change percents to decimals or fractions, whichever you find easier. Then solve the
equation.
For example;
18 is what percent of 90?
18 = x (90)
18/90 = x
1/5 = x
20% = x

Percentage Increase or Decrease
To find the percentage change (increase or decrease), use this formula:
Change/ Starting point × 100 = Percentage change
For example:
What is the percentage decrease of a $500 item on sale for $400?
Change: 500 − 400 = 100
Change/ Starting point × 100 = 100 × 100 = 5
500
1 × 100 = 20% decrease
What is the percentage increase of Jon’s salary if it went from $150 a month to
$200 a month?
Change: 200 − 150 = 50
Change/Starting point × 100 = 50 / 150 × 100 = 1/3 × 100
= 331⁄3 % increase
- NUMBER SERIES DRILL
Look at this series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4) … What number should come next?
A. (1/3)
B. (1/8)
C. (2/8)
D. (1/16)
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
This is a simple division series; each number is one-half of the previous
number.
In other terms to say, the number is divided by 2 successively to get the next
result.
4/2 = 2
2/2 = 1
1/2 = 1/2
(1/2)/2 = 1/4
(1/4)/2 = 1/8 and so on.
