This paper contains a set of questions followed by the corresponding mark schemes. The time
you should spend on each question together with its worth in marks is also given. The content of
this paper is based on material from a wide selection of national and international examination
boards and organisations.
You are advised to have:

a set of geometrical equipment, pen, HB pencil, eraser. Check if you are allowed a calculator.
Some examinations, but not all, allow calculators, including graphical models.

Hiran buys concert tickets.

There is a seated area and a standing area in the concert hall.
He buys x tickets for the seated area and y tickets for the
standing area. Altogether he buys 20 tickets.

standing area cost £22 each. Altogether he spends £552.
Write down a pair of simultaneous equations and solve them
to find out how many tickets of each type Hiran buys.
