Edexcel Maths - Unit 2 Higher Tier March 5th 2012

Yeah I posted it in wrong section :colondollar: So guys, how did you find the exam today? Did you not think it to be ridiculously hard?

I actually found this one to be OK! Similar in structure essentially to past papers, and with only the last question being a bit of a 'WTH' moment. Some were very boring though e.g. the ratio one and the flowers/seeds one. The simaltaneous (sp?) equations required quite a bit of brainpower :tongue:
But yeah, it was a lot better than the one on Fri.

You multiply the amount by 3 tyres, then multiply it by the VAT. Then add the VAT to the amount. Can't remember the final amount...

you were meant to work out fhe price of each tyre plus the vat and then times it all by three
my answer was 234...because I have multiplied the 3 multipliyed by 65 which was 195 and add the 20% to it..

You don't have to work out the price of the 4th tyre because it's free
