Question 3.

Fiona buys a 200g bar of chocolate.

110 grams of the chocolate bar is sugar. 27 grams of the chocolate bar is saturates. 30% of the bar is fat The remainder of the bar is salt.

Work out how many grams of salt the chocolate bar contains.

3 × 10% of 200g = 3 × 20g = 60g

200 – (110 + 27 + 60) = 200 – 197 = 3

Question 6.

The bar chart below gives information about the favourite fruits of some students at Stoney Mount School.

(a) What fraction of the students who preferred bananas are boys? 10 girls + 12 boys = 22 students like bananas. 12 boys out of 22

…………….𝟏𝟐𝟐𝟐

(2)

Chris says,

“More boys than girls prefer grapes and apples” (b) Is Chris correct?

You must give a reason for your answer.

15+7 = 22 girls like grapes and apples 17+6 = 23 boys like grapes and apples Yes, he is correct since 23 is more than 22.

The pie-chart gives the same information about the favourite fruits of the same students at Stoney Mount School.

Number of students at Stoney Mount School

Gabriella says, “It is more difficult to find out the number of students who prefer apples from the pie-chart than from the bar chart.” (c) Is Gabriella correct?

You must give a reason for your answer.

Yes, since you don’t know how many students are represented on the pie-chart. You can only see that it is a small proportion, not the number of boys, whereas on the bar chart you can see exactly how many boys prefer apples.

Question 14.

The cost of 3 portions of fish and 4 portions of chips is £18.10 The cost of 5 portions of chips is £8.00

Work out the cost of 1 portion of fish and 1 portion of fish.

£8.00 ÷ 5 = £1.60 = cost of 1 portion of chips

3 portions of fish (3 ×f) and 4 portions of chips (4× c) : £18.10 = 3× f + 4 ×1.60 =

£18.10 = 3 × f + £6.40

£18.10 – £6.40 = 3 × f

£11.70 = 3 × f so cost of 1 portion of fish is £11.70 ÷ 3 = £3.90

Cost of 1 portion of fish and 1 portion of chips = £3.90 + £1.60 = £5.50

The measurements in the diagram are in metres.

Four of these rectangles are put together to make a frame for a flower bed.

The perimeter of the inside if the frame is M metres.

(a) Show that M = 12a - 4b 3a- 2b +3a + 3a –2b + 3a = 12a - 4b

(2)

Katie says,

‘When a and b are whole numbers, M is always an even number’

(b) Is Katie correct? You must give a reason for your answer. 12a - 4b = 2(6a – 2b) Since it is a multiple of 2, it is an even number.

The centre of each circle is on PQ.

Work out the area of the shaded region. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

Area of trapezium = 𝟏𝟔

𝟐(14+18) = 8 × 32 = 256 cm2

Radius of each semi-circle = 14 ÷ 4 = 3.5 Area of two semi-circles 𝑨 = 𝝅 × 𝟑.𝟓𝟐 = 38.48451001

Question 19.

Sanjay is going on holiday to America. The exchange rate is £1 = $1.45075 Sanjay changes £675 to dollars.

(a) Work out how many dollars he should get. Give your answer correct to the nearest dollar.

675 × 1.45075 = 979.25625 = $979 to nearest dollar

979 dollars

(2)

Sanjay sees a pair of trainers in America. The trainers cost $135.

Sanjay does not have a calculator. He uses £2 = $3 to work out the approximate cost of the trainers in pounds.

(b) Use £2 = $3 to show that the approximate cost of the trainers is £90.

$135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 × 2 = 90

(2)

(c) Is using £2 = $3 instead of using £1 = $ 1.45075 a sensible way for Sanjay to work out the cost of the trainers in pounds?

You must give a reason for your answer.

Yes it is.

It makes it much easier to calculate the cost of something to the nearest pound without using a calculator. Using $1.5 instead of $1.45075 makes sense.

Question 20.

Here are the first five terms of a Fibonacci sequence.

1 3 4 7 11

The rule for the sequence is:

‘The next term is the sum of the previous two terms.’

(a) Find the 8th term of this sequence.

6th term: 7+11 = 18 7th term: 11 + 18 = 29 8th term: 29 + 18= 47

47 (1)

The first three terms of a different sequence which follows the same rule are:

m 2n m + 2n

(b) Show that the 6th term of this sequence is 3m +10n

4th term: m + 2n + 2n = m + 4n

5th term: m + 4n + m + 2n = 2m + 6n

6th term: 2m + 6n + m + 4n = 3m + 10n

(2) Given that the 3rd term is 5 and the 6th term is 23,

(c) Find the value of m and the value of n 3m +10n = 23 3m +10n = 23

m + 2n = 5 × 3 3m + 6n = 15

- 4n = 8

n = 2 m + 2n = 5 m + 4 = 5 so m = 1

(a) Complete the Venn diagram to show the elements of each set.

(3)

(b) A is changed to A = 𝑥: 𝑥 is a factor of 15 .

James says that the number of elements in A U B stays the same. Is James right? Give a reason why.

NO, it doesn’t stay the same, since 6 is not a factor of 15

Question 22.

Julie is thinking of having a water meter.

These are the two ways she can pay for the water she uses.

Julie uses on average, 140 litres of water each day. Use the information above to determine whether or not Julie should have a water meter.

With the water meter cost would be:

140 litres = 0.140 cubic metres

Cost of 0.140 cubic metre per day: 0.140 × £1.95 = £0.273

Cost over 365 days: 365 × £0.273 = £99.645

Total cost £104.82 + £99.645 = £204.465 which is approx £205

Since £205 is less than £283- it is cheaper for Julie to have a water meter.
