Question 1

Gary buys furniture and sells it in a shop.

In the shop on Monday, Gary has tables and chairs such that

number of tables: number of chairs = 2: 7

Gary has 42 chairs in the shop on Monday.

(a)

Calculate the number of tables Gary has in the shop on Monday.

(2)

(b)

Gary buys a table for $240 and sells it for $276

Calculate the percentage profit from the sale of the table.

(2)

(c)

Gary buys some chairs and sells them for $513

Gary’s percentage profit from the sale of the chairs is 35%

Calculate the price at which Gary bought the chairs.

(2)

(d)

The cost of a table that Gary buys is $732

An identical table costs 684 euros in France.

Using the exchange rate $1 = 0.95 euros

find the difference in the costs of the tables.

State whether your answer is in euros or $.

Question 6

6 80 gardeners were asked if they grow potatoes (P), carrots (C) or lettuce (L)

Of these gardeners

9 grow potatoes, carrots and lettuce

17 grow potatoes and carrots

23 grow carrots and lettuce

19 grow potatoes and lettuce

48 grow carrots

49 grow lettuce

2 grow none of these three crops

(a)

Using this information, complete the Venn diagram below to show the number of gardeners in each subset.

Question 8

Aalia delivers letters and parcels.

(a)

Last week Aalia worked for 5 days and wrote down 5 integers that represent the distance, in miles, she drove each day.

For these integers

t he mode is 15

the median is 16

the largest − the smallest = 7

Find 5 integers that Aalia could have written down.

(3)

(b)

Aalia has 8 letters to deliver to Tom.

The mean weight of the 8 letters is 104 grams.

5 of the letters are each of weight 89 grams.

The mean weight of the remaining letters is A grams.

Work out the value of A

(3)

(c)

The histogram shows information about the weights of all the parcels Aalia has in her delivery van on Friday.

Figure for question 8

75 of the parcels in the van each have a weight between 2 kg and 6 kg.

Aalia takes 2 parcels at random from the van.

Find an estimate for the probability that both parcels weigh more than 4 kg.
