Hi, please don't give full solutions to problems. It's more helpful to give hints and tips to guide the OP towards the answer.

It can also spoil the paper for anyone else doing it for exam/test preparation.

I've spoilered your solutions :smile:

Thanks for the answers, I don't think that you have spoiled anything. Hints or answers are not much difference especially when all of us have such different background. i actually got the answers but I didn't know until you help me. Probably if you gave only a hint, i had to ask again.

Now, I wonder if you have any advice with question 14. I realized that I also have problems with that one. Thank you!!

I will guess that you chose E instead of D, so take a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/standard/maths_i/numbers/profit_loss/revision/3/

Since the production cost of the cake is proportional to its volume, you should be able to find the new production cost if you find the old one using the formula explained in the link above.

Um yep, I have the specification and one specimen paper, which I've done, but some people seem to have access to some of the other past papers and I can't find any of them. Are they actually available?
