length (correct to one decimal) of a cube that has a surface area of 37.5cm2.
3. Last week Maya broke into her money box. She spent one-quarter of the money on
a birthday present for her brother and one-third of the money on an evening out
with her friends, leaving her with $75. How much money was in her money box?
4. Last week’s school fete was a great success, raising a good deal of money. Three-
