Q1 a)

Q1 b)

A = (Total number of boys and girls in aged group 3 ) 11

A = 19 11
A=8
Therefore number of Girls (A) of age 3 are 8
Percentage of children at the nursery who are aged group 0-2 years are

Total number of children of 02 year aged

Answers

X 100 = 55%

Total number of Children aged three or four = 19 + 8 = 27

1/3rd of these children aged three or four to be boys to hold true the following should be the case

1
3

X 27 = 9

But from the table 1, Total number of Boys aged three or four = 11 + 3 = 14.
Hence the statement that 1/3rd of the children aged three or four are boys is false.
Q1 d)

Total number of children at the nursery = 60

Number of children as a fraction of the total number of children =

x 60 = 42

Therefore, no of children attending on a part time basis is 42.

Q 1f)

Predicted increase in the total number of children = 74 60 = 14

Therefore percentage increase in the number of children would be =

x 100 = 23.33%

Percentage increase in the total number of children for next year would be 23% (nearest whole number)

Q 2 a)

Price of Litre of smoothie is 2.39

Offer 1 is 25% off the normal price
Final price of smoothie after 25% reduction =

(10025)
x 2.39
100

= 0.75 x 2.39
= 1.79

Hence the final price of smoothie under offer 1) is 1.79/-

Q 2bi)

Offer 2 is 25% extra of a litre of smoothie

Therefore Volume of extra smoothie =

(100+25)
x 1.0 litres = 125/100 = 1.25litres
100

Hence total volume of extra smoothie = 1.25 litres

Q 2bii)

Total volume of smoothie under offer 2 = 1.25 litres from Q2 bi)

Assuming full price for smoothie is 2.39
Assuming price per litre is X
1.25Litres - 2.39
1.0 Litres - X
X=

1 x 2.39
1.25

=1.03

X = 1.0 (to 1s.f)

Price per litre of smoothie under offer 2) is 1.0
Q 2ci)

Assuming under offer 3 each cartoon of smoothie is 1.0 litre

Hence for 4 you buy 2 litres
Therefore the price per litre of smoothie is

4 x1
2

= 2.

Hence the price per litre of smoothie is 2.0/Q 2cii)

Usual price per litre of smoothie is 2.39

Under offer 3) price per litre of smoothie is 2.0
Difference in price = 2.39 - 2.0 = 0.39
Percentage decrease in price

0.39
2.39

x 100 = 16.31% = 16% (to the nearest whole percent)

Q 3a)

1cm 80,000cm which is 0.80km

Distance on the map from Gravesend to Sevenoaks is 33.5cm
Assume the actual distance on the ground is X
1cm 80,000cm
33.5cm X
Hence X =

33.5 x 80,000
1

= 2,680,000cms =

2680000
100000

= 26.8Kms

The actual distance on the ground is 26.8kms from Gravesend to Sevenoaks

Q3 bi)

Total distance from Gravesend to Tonbridge via Sevenoaks is 36Kms

Total Journey time is 42minutes
Speed =

Distance
time

36
42

= 0.8571 km/min = 0.8571 x 60 Km/hour = 51.43km/hr ( to 2 d.p)

Hence average speed to the nearest 10Km/hr = 514.3km/hr ( to 1 d.p)

Q3 bii)

Total distance from Gravesend to Tonbridge via Sevenoaks is 36Kms =36 x 1000 = 36,000m
Total Journey time is 42minutes which is 42 x 60 = 2,520 secs
Speed =

Q 3ci)

Distance
time

36,000
2520

= 14.28 m/sec = 14m/sec

Cost of the fuel is 1.45 per litre.

Total distance is 36kms
Car consumption for the 36km is 2.3 litres
1 litre is 1.45
2.3 litre is X
Therefore X = 1.45 x 2.3 = 3.3
The cost of fuel for the entire journey is 3.3

The formula is T = 23.98b + 3.5(b-1) + 18.99

B = Boxes of vinyl tiles ( 15 boxes)

Q4 bii)

T = 23.98 x 15 + 3.5(15-1) +18.9

= 359.7+ 3.5(14)+18.9
= 359.7+49+8.9
= 417.6
Hence the total cost in pounds for buying 15 boxes is 417.6/- only
The formula is T = 23.98b + 3.5(b-1) + 18.99
It costs 18.99 for the first box which is a constant
Thereafter for subsequent boxes delivery is 3.5(b-1) which excludes the first box and cost 3.5 per box.
Per box cost 23.98 hence for b number of boxes 23.98b
Hence the Formula for the total cost 23.98b + 3.5(b-1) + 18.99

Q 4ci)

Cost of Graham is 5.0 per hour

Cost per visit is 14.0
Graham takes 17hours over 3 visits.
Hence the Cost of Graham fitting the floor would be
=( 5 per hour x 17 hours ) + ( 3 visits x 14 per visit)
= 85 + 42
= 127

Q 4cii)

Graham worked h hours.

Graham had v visits.
Hence the formula would be
= 5h + 3v
