Answer ALL TWENTY THREE questions.
Write your answers in the spaces provided.

You must write down all the stages in your working.
1 A plane has a length of 73 metres.

A scale model is made of the plane.
The scale of the model is 1 : 200
Work out the length of the scale model.
Give your answer in centimetres.
73 - 200 = 0.365m
0.365 X 100 = 36.5cm 1m = 100cm

36.5 cm

3 There are 90 counters in a bag.
Each counter in the bag is either red or blue so that

the number of red counters : the number of blue counters = 2 : 13
Li is going to put some more red counters in the bag so that
1
the probability of taking at random a red counter from the bag is
3
Work out the number of red counters that Li is going to put in the bag.
in the ratio 2 : 13 there are 2 + 13 = 15 parts

90 - 15 = 6 counters per part
6 X 2 = 12 red counters
Li adds x red counters such that 12 + x = 1

90 + x 3

3 (12 + x) = 1 (90 + x)
36 + 3x = 90 + x
36 + 2x = 90

vertical: horizontal:
2y + x = 67 4y + x = 123
solve simultaneous equations

4y + x = 123

2y + x = 67
2y = 56 2y + x = 67
y = 56 - 2 2(28) + x = 67
y = 28cm x = 11cm
length = 3y + (y - x) height = y + (y - x) area = length X height

= 4y - x = 2y - x = 101 X 45

She gets 2.3% per year compound interest.

(a) How much money will Jenny have in her savings account at the end of 3 years?
Give your answer correct to the nearest dollar.
final amount = starting amount X (1 + interest rate)
final amount = 8500 X (1 + 0.023)

Rami bought a house on 1st January 2015
In 2015, the house increased in value by 15%
In 2016, the house decreased in value by 8%
On 1st January 2017, the value of the house was $687 700
(b) What was the value of the house on 1st January 2015?
let V = value on 1st Jan 2015

15% increase = X 1.15
0.92 X 1.15V = 687 700
