i) (500000*100)/4.2 = 11.9

ii) B -> consider 100 for program

Total budget for each - 131, 143, 129
Admin -> 9.3% of 143 would be the highest

1. 500k (1/2 Million) is approximately 4 % => 100% =1/2 M * 25 = 12.5 M => Ans is 11.9 M as it is closer
2. Let A, B, C has allocated 100 for program expenses => admin charges for (i) A = (100 * 6)/ 76 (ii) B = (100 * 9)/70 (iii) (100 * 4)/78 => B is the one which has highest numerator and lowest denominator, so B will have highest admin charges allocated -> Ans: B

First question I think you won’t have any problems.

For second we need to think about how percents work.
All allocated same amount for program expenses. We can see B has lowest percentage. That must mean to match the higher percentage of others lower percent of B must be against higher budget. Then we administrative process has already high % for B. So it’s the highest % of the highest value. Definitely B has to be the answer.
