ONLINE TEST REVISION 2:

1. A small business has an IT hardware purchasing annual budget of £45,000, which it

usually spends on a combination of new computers (£x) and server-side hardware
(£y).

Hence x + y = 45000.

If the business decides to buy only new computers which cost £750 each (and no
server-side hardware), what is the maximum number of computers they can afford?

45000/750=60

2 A certain business has 150 customers of whom eighty five pay invoices on time,
thirty five of whom are typically up to thirty days late and thirty of whom are more than
thirty days late. 

What percentage of all customers is represented by customers who pay late up to thirty
days?

150-85-35=30
65/150*100=43.(3)%

3. If the salaries of four employees are:

                            £11000, £12000, £13000, £16000
then their average salary is (11000+12000+13000+16000) / 4, i.e. £13,000.

If the salaries of four different employees are:

                            £14000, £11500, £17500, £19000
what is their average salary?

(£14000+£11500+£17500+£19000)/4=£15500

4. In a certain business car dealership database, there are two different types of customer,
namely first time buyers and customers trading up their present cars.

Suppose for example that last month the business had a total of one hundred customers
of whom 40 were first time buyers and the remaining 60 were trading up. If a customer
was chosen at random by a salesman, the probability of choosing a first time buyer would
have been 40/100 = 0.4.
Suppose this month there are a total one hundred and fifty customers of whom 45 are
trading up. What is the probability of randomly choosing a first time buyer?

105/150*100=70%

5.Suppose that there are 40 students at London IT college.

12 of them are studying computing. If a student is chosen at random, find the probability
that the student is not studying Computing.
12/40*100=30%
6. There are 180 members in a club. 50 of them play tennis, 20 play football and the
rest play hockey.
One member is selected at random , what is the probability that he/she plays
hockey ?
180-50-20=110 members play hockey
110/180*100=61.(1)%

7. Suppose that there are 60 members in a club. It is also known that 12 of them play
tennis, 29 play football and the rest play hockey.
If one member is chosen at random, find the probability that this member does not
play football.
60-29=31 members play tennis and hockey
31/60*100=51.(6)%

8. There are 80 members in a club.

It is also known that 12 of them play tennis, 29 play football and the rest play
hockey.
a) What percentage of the members play hockey?
80-12-29=39 members play hockey
39/80*100=48.75%
b) What percentage of the members play tennis or football?
12+29=41
41/80*100=51.25%
100-48.75=51.25%
 c) What fraction of the club play tennis. Simplify your answer as far as possible

12/80=3/20

9 . If the Purchase Price of an item is £124 and the Selling Price is £144, what is
the Percentage Profit (to the nearest percentage)?

(£144-£124)/£124*100=16.13%

10. Vasile purchased a bike last year for £ 235 and he recently sold it for £300.
a) Find the absolute amount of the profit
£300-£235=£65

b) Find the % profit .

65/235*100=27.66%
