Checkpoint 1 2 3 4 5 6

Time taken (min) 19.4 24.1 39.9 37.6 29.3 26.8

(a) By rounding up the time taken to arrive each checkpoint to the nearest ten minutes,
estimate the total time taken by Jason to complete the competition. (2 marks)

(a) Estimated total time taken = (20 + 30 + 40 + 40 + 30 + 30) min 1A

= 190 min 1A
(b) A medal will be awarded if the total time taken is within 200 minutes. Can Jason get a
medal? Use the result in (a) to explain your answer. (2 marks)
By (a), the actual total time taken is less than 190 minutes. 1A

15. The original marked price of a jacket is $220. If the shop owner raises the marked price by
25% and then sells it at a 40% discount on the new marked price,
(a) find the new marked price, (2 marks)
New marked price = $220 × (1 + 25%) 1M
= $220 × 1.25
= $275 1A

(b) find the selling price, (2 marks)

Selling price = $275 × (1 − 40%) 1M
= $275 × 0.6
= $165 1A

(c) find the percentage discount on the original marked price. (2 marks)

Discount = $220 − $165

= $55 1A
55
∴ Percentage discount = × 100%
220
= 25% 1A

(a) Find the area of the wet surface of the tank. (3 marks)
Base area = 6 × 8 cm 2
= 48 cm 2
Total area of all lateral faces = (6 + 8 + 6 + 8) × 12 cm 2 1M + 1A
= 336 cm 2
∴ Area of the wet surface of the tank = (48 + 336) cm 2
= 384 cm 2 1A

(b) The tank is turned to another position as shown in Figure II.

(i) Find the depth of water in the tank. (2 marks)
Volume of water = 6 × 8 × 12 cm 3
= 576 cm 3
Let d cm be the depth of water.
Volume of water = 18 × 8 × d cm 3
576 = 144d 1M
d =4
∴ The depth of water is 4 cm. 1A

(ii) Will the area of the wet surface of the tank increase? Explain your answer. (3 marks)

Base area = 18 × 8 cm 2
= 144 cm 2
Total area of all wet lateral faces = (18 + 8 + 18 + 8) × 4 cm 2
= 208 cm 2
∴ Area of the wet surface of the tank = (144 + 208) cm 2 1M + 1A
= 352 cm 2
< 384 cm 2
∴ The area of the wet surface of the tank will not increase. 1A
