MOCKB2 P1 Answer 5. Let x be the number of female nurses in the hospital.

Then, the number of male nurses in the hospital is

(x − 5 × 10). 1A
x + (x − 5 × 10) = 70 1M + 1A

The coordinates of Y ′ = (2, − 5 ) 1A
4. Let $x be the marked price of the table.
(b) XX′ = 3 - (-3) = 6 1A
x (1 − 30%) = 490(1 − 20%) 1M + 1M
The required equation:
0.7 x = 490(0.8)
392 ( x − 2 )2 + [( y − (−5 )]2 = 6 1M
x= 1M
0.7 2 2
(x - 2) + (y + 5) = 36 1A
x = 560
(or x + y2 - 4x + 10y - 7 = 0)
2
∴ The marked price of the table is $560. 1A
(5)
Alternative Solution
Selling price = $490 × (1 - 20%) 1M 9. (a) Total number of citizens aged ‘0 – 19’,
= $392 1A ‘60 – 79’ and ‘above 79’
Marked price = $392 ÷ (1 - 30%) 1M 360° − 90° − 126°
