Alright, time to put my project management skills to the test! Hmm, let's see... I think the answer is A) 0.87. But then again, I'm the kind of person who always double-checks their work, just in case the numbers decide to pull a fast one on me. You know what they say, 'measure twice, cut once' - or in this case, 'calculate twice, report once'.

It's always good to double-check, but I agree with you on that one.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! Let me think... Okay, I got it! The answer has to be D) 0.84. Why? Because I'm just that good at this stuff, that's why. Although, sometimes I do wonder if these questions are secretly designed to make us all feel like we're competing in a math olympiad.

Alright, alright, I got this! The budget is $805,000, we've completed 45% of the work, and we've spent $430,000 so far. Gotta be C) 0.86, no doubt about it. I'm like a human calculator, just don't ask me to balance my own checkbook!

But we have spent more than planned, so maybe it's lower.

Hmm, let me see here... is it B) 0.80? I'm pretty sure that's the right answer, but you know what they say, 'the numbers don't lie, but the liars sure do count' - so I better double-check my work!
