1. Susan went to Canada. She exchanged J$300,000 into CA$. The exchange rate was
J$65.50 = CA$1.
a. How many CA$ did she receive?

J $ 300,000 ÷ J $ 65.50
¿ CA $ 4580.15

Susan receivedCA $ 4580.15

2 marks
When Susan returned, she changed CA$ 78.20 back to J$. The exchange rate had
changed to J$68.35 = CA$1.
b. How many J$ did she receive?
CA $ 78.20× J $ 68.35
¿ J $ 5,344.97
Susan received J $ 5,344.97

While Susan was in Canada the value of the Canadian dollar increased from
J$65.50 to J$68.35.

c. Work out the percentage increase in the value of the Canadian dollar. (Give your
answer to two decimal places.)

Increase ( New Price−Original Price )

Percentage increase= ×100
Original Price
68.35−65.50
Percentage increase= ×100
65.50
¿ 4.35 % (2 d . p .)

2. A company makes cereal boxes in the shape of a right prism.

Each large box has dimensions 25 cm by 8 cm by 36 cm.

a. Calculate the volume in cubic centimeters, of one large cereal box.

Volume of cubiod=length ×breadth × height
Volume of Cuboid=25 cm ×8 cm ×36 cm
3
Volume of cuboid =7200 c m
1 mark
b. Calculate the total surface area of ONE large cereal box.

Total Surface Area=2 ( length ×breadth ) + ( breadth × height ) + ( length× height )

Total Surface Area=2 ( 25 cm× 8 cm ) +2 ( 8 cm×36 cm ) +2 ( 25 cm× 36 cm )
2
Total surface area=2776 c m

c. The cereal from ONE large box can exactly fill six small boxes, each of equal
i. Calculate the volume of one small cereal box.

Volume of one small cereal box=Volume of Large cereal box ÷ six small cereal boxes

Volume of one small cereal box=7200 c m3 ÷ 6

3
Volume of one small cereal box=1200 c m
2 marks
ii. If the height of a small box is 20 cm, list two different pairs of values
which the company can use for the length and width of a small box.
Volume=Length ×breadth × height
3
1200 c m =length× breadth ×20 cm

1200 c m3
=length× breadth
20 cm
6 ocm=length × breadth
Hence the length∧breadth when multiplied will be equal ¿ 60 cm
