Number Value($) Total Value($)

$20 tickets 5 units 20 5 units × 20 = 100 units
Difference in amount collected from $50-tickets and $20-tickets = $1500

(600 – 100) units = $1500
500 units = $1500
1 unit = $3
Total : (100 + 240 + 600) units = 940 units

940 units = 940 × 3

Lesson 6 – Method of Assumption
Example 1
There are 15 cats and birds in a park. There are 46 legs altogether. How many cats are
there?
Solution
Step 1: Assume all the objects to be the same. Since cats are the one in question,
assume the opposite to be true. i.e. all are birds.
15 × 2 = 30
Step 2: Find the difference between the actual vs. assumed total value
46 – 30 = 16
Step 3: Determine the difference in individual value between the 2 objects. i.e. the
number of legs of a cat vs. bird.
4 – 2 =2
Step 4: Divide the difference in total value by the difference in individual value.
16 ÷ 2 = 8

Sally took part in a “Know Your Neighbourhood” questionnaire. She had to answer 50
questions. 2 marks were awarded for every correct answer and 1 mark was deducted for a
wrong answer. If Sally scored 61 marks, how many questions did she answer correctly?
Solution
Step 1: Assume all questions answered correctly.
Full Marks = 50 × 2 = 100
Step 2: Find out the total marks lost.
Marks Lost = 100 – 61 = 39
Step 3: Determine the loss of marks for each wrong answer.
Marks foregone per wrong answer = 2 + 1 = 3
Step 4: Divide total marks lost by marks loss per wrong answer.
No. of Wrong Answers = 39 ÷ 3 = 13
No. of Right Answers = 50 – 13 = 37
She answered 37 questions correctly.

Practice 2

Lesson 13 – Rate
Rate is the ratio between two related quantities. It measures how one quantity changes
relative to the other. For example, if you pay $5 per hour to use the computer at an internet
café, the amount you spend will increase by $5 for every additional hour.
Here are more examples of rate:

(a) 72 beats per minute (bpm) of a human heart
(b) 326 pixels per inch (ppi) on an iPhone screen
(c) $12.00/kg of prawns sold at a supermarket
(d) 7 metres travelled per second on a bicycle
(e) 100W of electricity consumed per hour by an electric fan
(f) The minute-hand on the clock turns an angle of 30° in 5 minutes
How to find rate?
𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 #1
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 =
𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 #2
where the quantities can come in any unit of measurement.

Lesson 14 – Circles
Pi, 𝜋, is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In reality, the
true value of 𝜋 remains undetermined, having been calculated to 1.24 trillion decimal
22
places and still counting. For examination purposes, it can be expressed as or 3.14,
7
correct to 2 decimal places.
The radius, 𝑟, of a circle is defined as the distance between its centre to any point of the
circumference. Diameter, it follows, is twice the magnitude of 𝑟.

Important Formulae
Area of a Circle = 𝜋𝑟2
Circumference of a Circle = 2𝜋𝑟
∝
Area of a Sector = 𝜋𝑟2 ×
360°
∝
Arc Length = 2𝜋𝑟 ×
