Cost of posting a parcel is $25.70
Using
5 stamps at $4.00 each = $20.00
1 stamp at $2.50 each = $ 2.50
1 stamp at $1.20 each = $ 1.20
2 stamps at $1.00 each = $ 2.00
Total is exactly = $ 25.70

(ii) Required To Calculate: Stamps that she can select using all her $1.00
stamps.
Calculate:
Using
All 6 stamps at $1.00 each = $ 6.00
4 stamps at $4.00 each = $16.00
1 stamp at $2.50 each = $ 2.50
1 stamp at $1.20 each = $ 1.20
Total is exactly = $25.70
c. (i), (ii) Required To Calculate: The largest number of stamps she can use
m
and list the selection of stamps she can use.
Calculation:
co
To use the most number of stamps, Annie must use
6 stamps at $1.00 = $ 6.00
6 stamps at $1.20 = $ 7.20

Required To Calculate: x and y
Calculation:
as
Let
y + 4 x = 27 …(1)
sp
xy + x = 40 …(2)
From (1)
y = 27 - 4 x
.fa
Substitute in (2)
x(27 - 4 x ) + x = 40

x = 2 or 5
When x = 2 y = 27 - 4(2 ) = 19
When x = 5 y = 27 - 4(5) = 7
Hence, x = 2 and y = 19 OR x = 5 and y = 7 .

b. (i) Data: A shaded region illustrating a set of inequalities representing
boys and girls in a cricket club
.
(a) Required To State: Whether the cricket club can have 10 boys
and 5 girls.
Solution:
x = no. of boys and y = no. of girls
If x = 10 and y = 5 , we note that the point (10, 5) does not lie in
the shaded region. Hence, the club cannot have 10 boys and 5 girls.
(b) Required To State: Whether the cricket club can have 6 boys and
m
6 girls.
Solution:
co
If x = 6 and y = 6 we note that the point (6, 6) lies within the
shaded region. Hence, the club can have 6 boys and 6 girls.

The region shaded is above the horizontal y = 2 . Hence, the region is

y > 2 . (It may be y ³ 2 if the line is included).

(iii) (a) Data: Profit of $3.00 made on boy’s uniform and profit of $5.00
made of a girl’s uniform.
Required To Find: An expression in x and y for the total profit
made.
