Question

1 Work out: (a) 32% of ¥80 D (b) 12.5% of 600 m ...................................................................... D In a school, 57 pupils out of 128 in Year 9 reach level 5 in their Science examination. Express this amount of pupils as a percentage to 1 d.p. 3 A computer costs f900 plus VAT, where VAT is charged at 17(1)/(2)% Find the total cost of the computer. 4 Three students took a History test. (a) Amar got seven -eighths of the questions right. What was his percentage score? 0/0 (b) and a percentage score of 65% What was the maximum possible mark on the test?

Answer 1

1a)

1b)

2)

3)

4a)

4b)

4c) Amar scored higher than Frank as Amar has a overall score of 70 which is higher than Frank's 68.

Answer 2

## Part 1a:To find

of £80, multiply 80 by 0.32 (which is the decimal form of

).###

## Part 1b: To find

of 600m, multiply 600m by 0.125 (which is the decimal form of

).###

## Part 2:To express the proportion of pupils as a percentage, you need to divide the number of successful students (57) by the total number of students (128) and then multiply by 100.###

## Part 3: The VAT should be incorporated into the cost. First, find the VAT amount by multiplying

by

(the decimal representation of

) and add the tariff to the cost. ###

###

## Part 4a: To find Amar's score as a percentage, multiply the fraction

by 100%.###

## Part 4b: Since

represents 52 marks, we can represent the maximum possible score as

. To find the complete score, calculate the value of

using simple cross multiplication.###

###

## Part 4c:Lastly, find three-eighth of the total marks to compare it with Frank's score. If

equals to Amar's score as a percentage then, find the scores corresponding to

from the total marks calculated before.(It's persuaded because the maximum marks are yet to be identified.)###

Then manually Austin's total score with Frank's total score(68).# Calculations:## Step1:

## Step2:

## Step3:

## Step4:

## Step5:

## Step6:

## Step7:

Then manually: Amar's scores are just slightly above Frank's since 70>68.
