Here is a biased spinner.

The table gives information about the probability that, when the spinner is spun once, it will land on each number.

Alexis is going to spin the spinner 400 times.

Work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on an odd number.

Norberto sells white loaves of bread and brown loaves of bread.

He sells a total of 200 loaves such that

the number of white loaves sold: the number of brown loaves sold = 3: 2

Norberto sells the white loaves for £1.50 each. He sells the brown loaves for £1.75 each.

40% of the price of a white loaf is profit. 60% of the price of a brown loaf is profit.

Work out Norberto’s total profit when he sells all 200 loaves.
