7. There are two kinds of tickets for a train: first-class tickets and economy-class tickets. The price
of a first-class ticket is $500 and that of an economy-class is $360. On a day, the number of
economy-class tickets sold is five times that of first-class tickets sold, and the total value of all
the tickets sold is $50 600. Find the number of first-class tickets sold on that day.
(4 marks)
Let the number of first-class tickets sold be x.
So the number of economy-class tickets sold is 5x.
500( x ) 360(5 x ) 50600
2300 x 50600
x 22
Thus, the number of first-class tickets sold is 22.

18. May has to choose between two posts offered by two companies. The monthly salaries of
the two posts within five years are calculated by the following methods.
Post A : $20000 per month for the first year with an annual increase in salary of $1500 for
every year afterwards.
Post B : $18000 per month for the first year with an annual increase in salary of 10% for
every year afterwards.
(a) Find the monthly salary of each post at the beginning of the fifth year. (2 marks)
(b) May claims that she will earn more total salaries in the first five years if she works for
post B. Do you agree ? Explain your answer. (4 marks)
(a) For Post A, the monthly salary within five years form an arithmetic sequence with the
first term = $20 000 and the common difference = $1 500.
The monthly salary of post A in the fifth year
$[20 000 (5 1)(1 500)]
$26 000
For Post B, the monthly salary within five years form a geometric sequence with the first
term = $18 000 and the common ratio = 1 + 10% = 1.1.
The monthly salary of post B in the fifth year

Since $1 380 000 > $1 318 701.6, her claim is incorrect.
19. Mr. Ko drives a car to a shop to buy canned dog food at the beginning of each month.
The shop sells two brands of canned dog food: each can of brand X dog food is sold at $24
and contains 40 mg of vitamins and 75 units of energy; each can of brand Y dog food is sold
at $32 and contains 80 mg of vitamins and 50 units of energy. Mr. Ko wants his dog eating
at least 2400 mg of vitamins and 2400 units of energy each month. Mr. Ko’s car can carry at
most 55 cans of dog food.
Suppose Mr. Ko buys x cans of brand X dog food and y cans of brand Y dog food each
month, and let the amount of money used to buy the dog food be $C .
He wants to use the least amount of money to buy the dog food.
Using the graph paper below, find the values of x and y.

Let the amount of money used to buy the dog food be $C,
then C = 24x + 32y.
Draw the straight line 24x + 32y = 0 on the graph
and then translate it to the lowest position in the feasible region.
We have x = 18 and y = 21
The corner points are (0,48), (0, 55), (50, 5) and (18,21).
C (0,48) 24(0) 32( 48) 1536
C (0,55) 24(0) 32(55) 1760
C (50,5) 24(50) 32(5) 1360
C (18,21) 24(18) 32( 21) 1104
So, minimum attains when x = 18 and y = 21
