1. A triangle has angles x, 2x and 84 as shown.
Find the value of x. (Please note, the diagram is not drawn to scale)
Sum angles in a triangle = 180

x + 2x + 84 = 180
3x = 180 84
3x = 96
x = 32
Answer: 32 (3)
2. (a) A scientist is doing an experiment on bacteria. She finds that the number of
bacteria in a test tube increase at a rate of 0.9% per hour.
At 12 noon there are 4500 bacteria.

At 3 pm, how many bacteria will be present? Give your answer to 3 significant
figures.
12pm 4500 bacteria
1pm 4500 x 1.009 bacteria
2pm 4500 x 1.009 x 1.009 bacteria
3pm 4500 x 1.009 x 1.009 x 1.009 bacteria
Therefore at 3pm there are 4620 bacteria present.

Answer: 4620 (3)
(b) In another experiment with the same bacteria, the scientist counts 3000 bacteria.
How many bacteria were there two hours prior to this measurement?
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
Now 3000 bacteria

1 hour ago 3000 1.009 bacteria
2 hours ago 3000 1.009 1.009 bacteria
Therefore 2 hours ago there were 2950 bacteria present

Answer: 2950 (3)

3. (a) During the sales a shopkeeper sells 60% of his garden lamps.
After the sales he was left with 50 garden lamps.
How many garden lamps did he have in stock to begin with?
40% of lamps = 50
Therefore 10% of lamps = 12.5
Therefore 100% of lamps = 125
Answer: 125 garden lamps (3)
(b) The shopkeeper bought the garden lamps from a wholesaler for 2.55 per lamp.
He sells the lamps for 5 during the sale.
If the shopkeeper does not sell the remaining 50 garden lamps, how much profit
has the shopkeeper made?
Cost to shopkeeper of lamps = 125 x 2.55 = 318.75

Shopkeeper sells 75 lamps at 5 each = 375
Therefore he has made 375 318.75 = 56.25 profit
Answer: 56.25 (3)

4. (a) Roy and Sally go to the fairground.
A stall has a card game where a goldfish can be won if anyone can turn over a face
card (i.e. Jack, Queen or King) from a pack of 52 cards which are placed face
down.
Calculate the probability, in its simplest form, of Sally winning the goldfish.
Total number of cards = 52

Number of face cards = 3 x 4 = 12
12 3
Therefore probability =
52 13
3 (2)
Answer:
13
(b) Sally picks the Jack of diamonds and wins a goldfish.

Roy now chooses a card from the remaining cards. Is Roys probability of winning
a goldfish more, less or the sameas Sallys probability from part (a)? Explain your
answer.
11 12 (2)
Less. There are fewer face cards remaining only 11 from 51. ( is less than ).

5. A 55-seater coach is to be hired at a cost of 400 for a school outing. The

cost is to be covered exactly without making any profit by charging 4 for a
child and 20 for an adult. Not every seat needs to be occupied.
(a) Find the smallest number of adults which need to go.
Let a be the number of adults, and c be the number of children:
(I) a + c 55
(II) 20a + 4c = 400 -> c = (400 20a) 4
c = 100 5a
Substitute into (I)
a + (100 5a) 55
100 4a 55
100 55 4a
45 4a
45 4 a
11.25 a
a needs to be greater or equal to 11.25. Therefore the smallest number of

adults that can go is 12.
Answer: 12 (3)
(b) Find the largest number of children which can go.
The largest number of children can go for the smallest number of adults.
Let a = 12
Substitute into (II):

20a + 4c = 400
20 x 12 + 4c = 400
240 + 4c = 400
4c = 400 240
4c = 160
c = 160 4
c = 40

1. A gardener planted some water plants in the stream at the bottom of the garden
shown in the diagram.
At first the plants grew well but after a while they died.
Which source of pollution is most likely to have caused the death of the plants?
Explain your answer, referencing each of the possible sources A,B,C and D.
(4)
The pollution from A, the factory waste is most likely to have caused the death of
the plants. The waste is pumped directly into the stream and will flow downstream
to the water plants.
B. The sewage works is unlikely to have caused the death of the plants, as it is
further downstream from the garden.
C. The pesticide is unlikely to have caused the death of the plants. Although
upstream from the garden, the pesticide kills insects and should not harm plants.
D. The railway does not interfere with the stream and is unlikely to have an effect
on the pollution in the stream.
