15.05 - 14.84 = 0.21

2
31.6 * 7 = 221.2

3
60% of 765 = 459

4
85 * 1.30 = £110.50

5
6
BODMAS
2.4 * 5 / 2

6
½ of 20 is ¼ of 40
¾ of 100 is ½ of 150
⅓ of 60 is ⅔ of 30

7
0.007
Missing number is 7 thousandths

8
0.08
Subtract each from 0.1, this gives 0.02 - next closest is 0.13 which gives 0.03

9
624,626,642,646,662,664

10
3,7,11
3*7*11 = 231

11
Numbers are 2,6,10,14,18
Difference is 16 and there are four missing numbers so 16/4=4

12
0.75, 1.5
The second number is 3/2, the first number is ¾

Alysha has 8 and Julia has 6
If Alysha is x and Julia is y then
X+y = 14
x=y+2
Therefore 2y+2 = 14
2y=12
y=6

14
4
35/5 = 7
7-3 = 4

15
3/20 of a gram

Weight of matches is 33g

33/220 = 3/20

16
8
Each group is 6 fruits, she uses 4 groups
Each group has 2 oranges
Therefore 2*4

17
28
Number of lines is 14 as 42/3 = 14
2 girls in every line so 14*2 = 28

18
117cm2
x(4/9) = 52
(52*9)/4 = 117

19
32
Process of elimination, start with 30*30 = 900

20
323*47=15181
The last digit must be 1 as 3*7 =21
15181/323 = 47

A8
B6
C9
D7
X 30
Y 29

Bottom row is 4A = 32 so A = 8
Top row is 3D = 8 = 29 so D = 7
B is 6 from the second row using D and A
C is 9 using the first column given that we know A,B,D
Can then calculate x and y

3
16

On one side we have 2x/4 so x/2

We are told that x/2 * x/2 = (x^2)/4

On the other we know that the number -4, divided by 10 = 6

So the number is 64

So we know that x^2 / 4 = 64

x^2 = 256
X = 16

4
a) 13:04
So this is 48 hours later
It has therefore gained (48/3)*4 = 64 mins

b) 7.30pm
Correct at midday
It now shows 19:40 which is 7 hours 40 mins later
You could solve through algebra or just process of elimination
We know it loses 4 mins every three hours so it will have lost 4 mins around 3pm, 8 mins
around 6pm and 10 mins around 7pm
Trying 10 mins gives us (7.5*4)/3 = 10 mins gained so 7.30pm

5
11p

6a + b = 53
-3a + b = 32

→
3a = 21, so a is 7

B is 32- 21 = 11

6
a) 82

A+B = 43
Add A+C = 55
Add B+C = 66
2(A+B+C) = 164
A+B+C = 82

b) 16
Alan is 82 - 66 (as B+C = 66) = 16

7
99
11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
101,111 etc through 191
Same for all through 201,202 etc through to 999
Total is 9 for the two digit numbers
And 10 for each set of three digit numbers eg the 101 through to 191
Total is therefore 99

8
Dana £22.50
Harry £42.50
Charlotte £75.50
Sid £93.50

H = D + 20
C = D + 53
S = D = 71
H+S+C+D=234
→
4D + 144 = 234
4D = 90

D = 22.50, solve the other values from there

9
a) 103
Bango = 15 Rango
Rango = 6 Fango
Bango = 90 Fango
Alex is 9R + 4F
B is 7R + 3F
16R + 7F = 16*6 + 7 = 103

b) 2/15
This is 12/90 as a B is 90F

c) 3 bangos, 4 fangos
274/90 = 3 bangos and 4 fangos remaining

10
B

Section C

1
a) Multiples of 7
b) 56
c) There is no row 100
7*100 = 700 so would need to read ‘the numbers 1 to 500 are arranged in a row0’

d) 11
7n=77

e) 80
7(n-1) + 3 = 80

f) Row 58, column 1

400/7 = 57 remainder 1
N-1 = 57
N = 58

2
a) 56, 36, 45
b) 401
All numbers between 1 and 400 cancel out

c) 169

13^2
d) Boxes are 5 and 5

e) 10,100

For E100
N200 = O100 + E100
O100 = 100^2 = 10,000
E100 = (20,100-10,000) = 10,100

For E200
N401 = O201 + E200
O201 = 201^2 = 40,401
→ E200 = 80601 - 40401 = 40200

3
a)
11
A+t = 7
A+p = 8
l+A+p = 11
Take a+p from l+a+p = 11-8 = 3
So L is 3
S is 1
So s + a + t + 3
So 1+7+3 = 11 (as a+t must be 7 as sat is 8)

b)
17
7=A+t
= must be 2+5
P is therefore 8 - 2 = 6
Splat is salt (which was 11) plus 6 = 17

b) Missing sides are 8 and 9
10 opposite is 3
Remaining is 5,8,4,0
10+side a + side b = 27
Sides must be 8 and 9

c)

9 3 4 3 9 10 4 10
