Maths year 11

Just add the short explanation that you did the operation 4 times, so the shop closes at the end of the fifth month, aka the end of May. But yes, correct!

Thank youuu

Can you do an example on a simple percentage increase ans decrease

Posted from TSR Mobile

1. Dodgy Dan buys cars and sells them at 25% more. He buys a Prius at £26000. How much does he sell it for?

2. A carpet store sells a carpet for £20 per square meter. For their summer sale, they reduce all their prices by 20%.

(a) What is the cost per square meter of carpet during the sale?

(b) Natalie wants to buy 12 square meters of carpet. How much will she save by buying during the sale instead of buying at the normal price?

3. A car costs £20000 in January. Its price decreases by 15% each month. What is its cost in April?

4. A sale decreases all prices by 20%. During the sale, a coat costs £72. What was its original price, before the sale?

5*. James earns 80% compared to what his wife Rachel earns (for every £100 she earns, James earns only £80, and together combined they earn £180). If they both combined earn £20250 per year, how much does James earn per year?

So I do 100-25

Times that by the originals ans?

For the first question, he sells them for 25% more, so there is a 25% increase in price.

100% + 25% = 125%

The multiplier is $\dfrac{percentage}{100}$.

In this case, that is $\frac{125}{100}$, or $1.25$

Heya, my end of year exam is coming up and I'm doing higher and I'm getting D's I'm currently in year 10 and I know I can do better if I revise. Is anyone else willing to help me with a few questions ?


In year 11 now.

1 is correct.

2(a) is correct. 2(b) asks for how much was saved, so you need the difference between the normal price for 12m^2 and the sale price. You've already calculated these two. You would have gained 2/3 marks for part (b).

3 is correct.

4 is not correct. During the sale, it costs £72. Also during the sale, all prices have been reduced by 20%.
This means that £72 is 80% of the jacket's normal price. The normal price has been reduced by 20% to give a sale price of £72. Or:

Normal price x multiplier = £72

Hence, normal price = £72/multiplier.

Find the multiplier for the 20% reduction, then find the normal price.

I don't get 4 tho

You have an item which costs, lets say, £$P$ before the sale. The sale is 20%, and the item decreases to the price of £72.

A full price is 100%, so a 20% decrease would bring it down to 80%. 80% as a decimal is 0.8.

So we know that 80% of $P$ is equal to 72.

Simply construct an equation to solve for P: $P \cdot 0.8 = 72$

How do I do these...

No answers please

You got the first one right, and the second one is essentially the same idea but you have 2 variables.

What is the expression for p boxes of 10 pencils? What is the expression for r boxes of 12 pencils? What is the total amount of pencils in terms of p and r?

P+R

I cannot STRESS this enough... but PAST PAPERS are SO SO important for maths! Do EVERY SINGLE ONE! (even the old spec for you guys). What grade do you want to achieve in your final exam?

Level 6 or 7

So is that grade A or grade B? I did the old spec last year so not sure...
