Scenic School is using two vans to take a group of students on a field trip.
If two students move from van A to van B, then the two vans would have the same number of
students in each, but if two students moved from van B to van A, then van B would have half
the number of students that were then in van A.
Use the information above to find the total number of students on the field trip.
In your answer, you must give at least ONE equation that you would use to solve the problem.

If he is late returning the bike, he is fined $5 for the first hour late. He is fined 2 times as much
if he is 2 hours late, 4 times the original fine if he is 3 hours late, and so on.
The formula used to calculate the total fine, T, that Charlie has to pay is
T = 5 2(h 1), where h is the number of hours late that the bike is returned.
How many hours late did he return the bike if the fine was $160?

On the grids above the shaded grades are not taken into account in awarding the
question grade.
Only one grade is awarded in some parts of questions in this case there is no line
dividing the parts of the question in the schedule, and the numbers are shaded in
the assessment schedule. Question 2c as highlighted above.
13. Holistic decision. If a candidates work provides significant evidence towards the award of a
higher grade and the assessor believes it would be appropriate to award such a grade, the
assessor should review the entire script and determine if it is a minor error or omission that
is preventing the award of the higher grade. The question then needs to be asked Is this
error preventing demonstration of the requirements of the standard? The final grade
should then be determined in the basis of the response to this question.
