2,400 ÷ 600 = 4. Correct: B.

First adjust variable expenses: 10% of $600 is $60, so new variable spending is $660. Total expenses become $1,650 (fixed) + $660 (variable) = $2,310. Subtract from income to find savings: $2,800 − $2,310 = $490. Option D ($550) is the original savings before the increase ($2,800 − [$1,650 + $600] = $550). Option C ($520) and A ($430) reflect arithmetic errors such as applying the percentage to total expenses or subtracting twice. WorkKeys Financial Awareness emphasizes tracking categories, computing percent changes correctly, and translating them into actionable budget impacts. Recognizing how a small percentage increase in a discretionary category can reduce savings reinforces planning behaviors—e.g., offsetting increases elsewhere or committing to a fixed savings transfer to maintain goals.

Total output = 180 + 210 + 150 = 540 units. Shift B’s share = 210 ÷ 540 ≈ 0.3889 = 38.89%. Rounded to the nearest whole percent, 39%—closest option is 38% (C). Option B (35%) undercounts; D (42%) overcounts. WorkKeys Graphic Literacy expects translating charted values into percentages, often with rounding based on answer choices. Always compute total first, then divide the category by the total, and convert to a percentage.

Option B clearly identifies order and issue. Correct: B.

900 ÷ 75 = 12. Correct = C, not A. Misreading division leads to errors. Correct: C.
