INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS

 Do not open this test paper until instructed to do so.

 Unless otherwise stated in the question, all numerical answers must be given exactly or to 2
decimal places.
 The diagrams in this paper are not necessarily drawn to scale.

ADVICE TO STUDENTS

 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations.
 Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. All students should therefore be advised to show their working.
 A maximum of 2 marks will be deducted throughout the whole paper for poor presentation of
answers and for missing units.

4. The table below shows the prices and quantities of the items which Mr Lee buys at the
supermarket. It is known that Mr Lee has $130. (4 marks)
Unit Price $9.9 $35.1 $24.8 $6.3
Quantities bought 3 1 2 1 Question Total

(a) Round up each price to the nearest integer and then find the estimated value of the goods.
(b) Determine if he has enough money to pay for the goods.
Solution:
(a) Amount he should pay
= $(9.9  3 + 35.1 + 24.8  2 + 6.3) [1A for the expression]
 $(10  3 + 36 + 25  2 + 7) [1M for Rounding up the prices]
= $(30 + 36 + 50 + 7)
= $123 [1A]; [only 1A out of 3 if no working supported] [pp-1 if no leading head]
(b)  $130 > $123
 He has enough money to pay for the goods. [1A with reason]
[pp-1 if either “≈” / “corrected to…” is not used]
5. Find x in the figure. (3 marks)

Question Total
Solution
4x+(8x-60)+(3x+15) =180 ( sum of ) [1A(equation)+1A(reason)]
4x+8x+3x-60+15 =180
15x-45 =180
15x =225
x =15 [1A]
[u-1 if x = 15 o]
6. Find the values of x and y in the figure. (4 marks)
Solution
x+35o+82o = 180o ( sum of ) [1M]
Question Total
x+117o = 180o
x=63o [1A]
y+ (42o+63o) + 35o = 180o ( sum of ) [1M]
y=180o －105o－35o
y=40o [1A]
[no reason, ie ( sum of ), PP-1] [u-1 if x = 63 or y = 40]
