  1. 1
    A gym surveys its 90 members about which of two classes, yoga and spin, they attend. In a Venn diagram, set Y represents yoga and set S represents spin, within a universal set of 90 members. Region Y only contains 34 members, region S only contains 21 members, and the region where the two sets overlap contains 15 members.
    (a)
    How many members attend neither class?
    [1 mark]
    • A20
    • B70
    • C35
    • D15
    (b)
    What is the probability, as a fraction in its simplest form, that a randomly selected member attends spin only (not yoga)?
    [1 mark]
    • A16\frac{1}{6}
    • B1745\frac{17}{45}
    • C730\frac{7}{30}
    • D4990\frac{49}{90}
    (c)
    What is n(Y∪S)n(Y \cup S), the number of members who attend yoga or spin (or both)?

    A school allocates a grant of $960 between three clubs, chess, debate and robotics, in the ratio 5:3:4.
    (a)
    Calculate the amount of money received by the robotics club.
    [2 marks]
    (b)
    The debate club is then given an extra $45 on top of its original share. Express the debate club's new total as a percentage of the original $960 grant, giving your answer to 1 decimal place.

    Deepa invests $2500 in a savings account paying compound interest at 3.5% per year. Separately, she buys office equipment for $4000 that depreciates in value by 12% per year.
    (a)
    Calculate the value of Deepa's savings account after 4 years, giving your answer to the nearest cent.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    Calculate the value of the office equipment after 3 years, and hence find the total depreciation, in dollars, over the 3 years.

  4. 4
    A laboratory technician records the mass of a chemical sample as 8.4 grams, correct to 2 significant figures, and its volume as 3.5 cm3^3, correct to 2 significant figures. The number of molecules in a similar sample of the same substance is separately estimated as 2.6×10222.6\times10^{22}, correct to 2 significant figures.
    (a)
    Find the upper bound and the lower bound of the sample's density, in g/cm3^3, given that density = mass ÷ volume. Give each bound to 3 significant figures.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Using the mass 8.4 g and the estimated 2.6×10222.6\times10^{22} molecules, calculate the average mass of one molecule, giving your answer in standard form to 2 significant figures.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    By rounding each value to 1 significant figure, estimate the value of 8.4×2.6×10223.5\frac{8.4\times2.6\times10^{22}}{3.5}, showing your rounded values. State, with a reason, whether your estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate of the exact value.

  5. 5
    The time, TT hours, taken to build a wall varies inversely with the number of bricklayers, nn, working at the same rate. When 4 bricklayers work, the wall takes 15 hours to build, so Tn=60Tn=60.
    (a)
    How long would the wall take if 6 bricklayers work at the same rate?
    [1 mark]
    • A22.5 hours
    • B10 hours
    • C9 hours
    • D60 hours
    (b)
    How many bricklayers, working at the same rate, are needed to complete the wall in 5 hours?
    [1 mark]
    • A12
    • B3
    • C75
    • D16
    (c)
    If the number of bricklayers working is doubled, what happens to the time taken to build the wall, at the same rate?
    [1 mark]
    • AIt doubles
    • BIt stays the same
    • CIt increases by 50%
    • DIt halves

    A warehouse packs two types of box onto pallets. Type P boxes are packed in groups of 84, and Type Q boxes are packed in groups of 90.
    (a)
    Express 84 and 90 as products of their prime factors.
    [2 marks]
    (b)
    Hence find the highest common factor (HCF) of 84 and 90.

    A bookshop runs a spring sale. Hardback books are reduced by 15%. Paperback books are sold in a bundle deal, and the shop also reviews its overall sale revenue by category.
    (a)
    A hardback book has its original price reduced by 15% in the sale, giving a sale price of $29.75. Find the original price of the book.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    A paperback bundle of 3 books costs 25\frac{2}{5} less than buying the 3 books separately at $8 each. Calculate the bundle price.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The bookshop's total spring-sale revenue was 18 00018\,000. Hardback sales made up 720\frac{7}{20} of this revenue. This year's hardback revenue was 8% more than last year's spring-sale hardback revenue. Calculate last year's hardback revenue, giving your answer to the nearest dollar.
