    I have a feeling you might have got that wrong because we weren't asked to calculate how much profit it was.. It was just how much she got from the drink and gave to the school and you had to x £2.40 by 20 = £48. Can you rember the Olympic town question?

    I thought it was profit too oops... but ah well there's nothing I can do now haha

    I think I got 6.14 x 10^7(or something like that) and then £150 per person?

    yay! DEFINITELY TRIGONOMETRY- you usually need a calculator for that and it's one of those topics I doubt they'd miss out... but I'm just revising everything because anything could come up and it takes me about an hour to go through all my notes so yeah

    If you did higher paper
    c- 35% or around 30-40
    b- 50% or around 40-50
    a- 60% or around 60-70
    a*- 80% or around 80-100

    Sources: My teacher and grade bounderies on ocr website

    Completing the square was (x-4)^2 -6
    minimum value -6 because anything squared has minimum value of 0 so 0-6 = -6

    hope that helps
