b) 9
20
9 20 = 045 x 100 = 45%
4) a) 650
833
decimal 650 833 = 0780312
percent 0780312 x 100 = 78%
5) a) 176 x 0739 = 13%

7) a) 1995 x 085
b) 85% = 4148
1% = 4148 85 = 0488
100% = 0488 x 100 = 4880
8) a) He hadn't added on the
last year's 10% extra before
finding 110% of that
i.e. after 1st year
4000 x 11 = 4400
the next year
4400 x 11 = 4840

Percentages
2) a) 70 x 109
70 x 09 is 90% of 70
70 x 19 is increase 70 by 90%
70 x 009 is 9% of 70

3) 30% of 80 = 80 x 03
= 24 x 2 = 48 lambs

80 24 = 56 lambs
48 + 56 = 104 lambs

b) 100 14 = 86 100 = 086

b) 243750 x 100 = 886%
275115

6) a) percentages have been

rounded to whole numbers

c)
1 privet = 4550 35 = 130
1 beech = 21250 125 = 170
Privet is cheaper
b) 12% of 24 = 24 x 012 = 288
2 hours and 60 x 088 minutes
= 2 hrs 53 minutes

c)
d) 100% x 088 & repeat until you get to
4995 x 085 index 4 = 2607 less than 50%
6 times so answer is 6 days

b) 4000 x 11

c) (n x 08) x 11
11 x 08 = 088n

ANSWERS

RATIO

1) a) 5 to 1 is 5
c) 20 4 = 5 x 3 = 15 (or x 075)
1: 4 : 5 : 9
25 x 16 = 40
b) 45 decimal: 45 95=0474 45 x 2/3 = 303 x 2 = 30
95
5 : 15: 40 : 30 all by 5
dec to % = x by 100 = 474%
1: 3: 8: 6
b) 240N = 100p
3)a) 100p = 960 K
1 N = 100 240 = 0416666
1p = 960100 = 0096
408N = 0416666 x 408
45p = 0096 x 45
= 170 p = 170
= 432 Kroner
4) a) r = 12 x
= 144 x
= 4524

6)a) 28 + 168 = 196

196 408 x 100 = 48%
b) left:
3 + 28 = 60
right: 180 + 168 = 348
60: 348
1: 348 60 = 58
8a) 60 x ? = 40
? = 40 60 = 2/3
42 x 2 = 84 = 28
3
3

2) Male 1, female 4
total number of parts 1 + 4 = 5
1 part = 135 000 5 += 27 000
females = 27 000 x 4 = 108 000
c) 960K = 240 N
1 K = 240 960
= 25 N

b) circle 2, square 1
4524 2 = 2262

5)
5 + 3 =8 parts
Black: 81 + 9 = 90
Grey: 27 + 27 = 54
c) area square = 1 side = 2262 total area: 90 + 54 = 144
1 part = 144 8 = 18
1 side = 2262 = 1504
5 x 18 = 90
3 x 18 = 54
7) a x b x c = 1 hr 15 mins
2a x 2b x2c = 2 (axbxc)
= 8 x 1hr 15 mins
= 10 hours

b) c= 1 42 (60 + 60 x 36 +
36)
12
= (3600+2160+1296)
= 7056 x 42 = 296352
296352 x =
9310172661
9310172661 12 =
7758477217cm 1000
= 7758 L

c) volume factor is scale factor

cubed:
40:60 = 2:3
(2/3) = 8/27
