components, P, Q, R, S and
T, used to produce a kind
of toy
Diagram 6 shows a pie

represents the relative
(c) The composite index for the quantity of
cost of making the cake in the components used
year 2005 based on the year
2004 is 127.5
Calculate Diagram 6
(i)The price of a cake in the year
2004 if its corresponding price (a) Find the value of x and of y
in the year 2005 is RM30.60 [3m]
(ii)the value of m if the (b) Calculate the composite index for the
quantities of ingredients P, Q, production cost of the toys in the
R and S used are in the ratio year 2006 based on the year 2004
of 7 : 3 : m : 2 [3m]
[3m] (c) The price of each component
increases by 20% from the year
2006 to the year 2008
Given that the production cost of one toy
in the year 2004 is RM 55, calculate the
corresponding cost in the year 2008
