b) see fig

13. Let length of each identical square = u

0.2m = 20 cm, 0.1m = 10 cm
Unshaded area = 20 x 2u + 10 x 3u + 20 x 10 = 70u + 200 = 3000
70u = 3000 – 200 = 2800
u = 2800 ÷ 70 = 40 cm
Shaded area = 6 x 40 x 40 = 9600 cm2
Area of rectangle = 3000 + 9600 = 12 600 cm2

Ans: 12 600 cm2

16. a)
Red apples before vs red apples after = 100 : 40 → 25 : 10
Ratios Red Apples Green Apples
Before 13 : 7 (1)
325 175 (2) multiple by 25
195 55 (3) sold. 0.6x 325 = 195
130 : 120 (2) – (3)
After 13 : 12 (4)
130 : 120 (4) multiply by 10
Number of apples at first = 325 + 175 = 500
b)
3

17. Let dinner bill amount = u = Peter’s money at first

Let Roger’s money = r
Let Mary’s money = m
4
r–u=9m

9r – 9u = 4m multiply by 9
9r – 9u = 4 (r + 126) substitute m = r + 126
5r – 9u = 504
20r – 36u = 2016 multiply by 4
20r - 2016 = 36u (1)

11
m – u = 15 r

15m – 15u = 11r multiply by 15

15(r + 126) – 15u = 11r Substitute m = r + 126
4r + 1890 = 15u
20r + 9450 = 75u (2)
11466 = 39u (2) – (1)
u = 11466 ÷ 39 = $294
Each person share of bill = 294 ÷ 3 = 98
b)
Peter’s sum = u = $294
20r – 2016 = 36 x 294 from (1)
r = 12600 ÷ 20 = $630 = Roger’s sum
m = r + 126 = 630 + 126 = 756 = Mary’s sum
Total of 3 amounts = 294 + 630 + 756 = $1680
294 7
Peter’s money as fraction of total = 1680 = 40

Ans: a) 98
7
b) 40
