Section A: Ratio and Proportion [15 marks]

1 [2 marks]

Answer: $7 : 2$

Working:

1. Convert decimal to fraction: $2.8 = \frac{28}{10} = \frac{14}{5}$
2. Write the ratio: $\frac{14}{5} : \frac{4}{5}$
3. Multiply both sides by 5 (the common denominator): $14 : 4$
4. Simplify by dividing by 2: $7 : 2$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct conversion of 2.8 to fraction ($\frac{14}{5}$ or $\frac{28}{10}$)
• 1 mark for correct simplification to $7 : 2$
• Common mistake: Forgetting to simplify fully (e.g., leaving as $14 : 4$)

---

2 [2 marks]

Answer: 245 students

Working:

• Ratio of bus : walk = $5 : 7$
• 5 units = 175 students
• 1 unit = $175 \div 5 = 35$ students
• 7 units = $35 \times 7 = 245$ students

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for finding value of 1 unit (35)
• 1 mark for correct final answer (245)
• Alternative method: $\frac{7}{5} \times 175 = 245$ (full marks if correct)

---

3 [3 marks]

Answer: Orange juice: 1200 mL, Apple juice: 800 mL, Water: 2000 mL

Working:

• Total ratio parts = $3 + 2 + 5 = 10$ parts
• Total volume = 4 litres = 4000 mL
• 1 part = $4000 \div 10 = 400$ mL
• Orange juice = $3 \times 400 = 1200$ mL
• Apple juice = $2 \times 400 = 800$ mL
• Water = $5 \times 400 = 2000$ mL

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct total parts (10) and conversion to mL (4000)
• 1 mark for correct value of 1 part (400 mL)
• 1 mark for all three correct amounts with units
• Check: $1200 + 800 + 2000 = 4000$ mL ✓

---

4 [3 marks]

Answer: 1440 m²

Working:

• Let length = $8x$, breadth = $5x$
• Perimeter = $2(8x + 5x) = 26x = 156$
• $x = 156 \div 26 = 6$
• Length = $8 \times 6 = 48$ m
• Breadth = $5 \times 6 = 30$ m
• Area = $48 \times 30 = 1440$ m²

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for setting up equation $2(8x + 5x) = 156$ or equivalent
• 1 mark for correct value of $x = 6$ and dimensions (48 m, 30 m)
• 1 mark for correct area with units (m²)
• Common mistake: Forgetting to multiply by 2 for perimeter

---

5 [5 marks]

(a) [2 marks] Answer: 1.6 km

Working:

• Scale: 1 cm represents 25,000 cm
• Map distance = 6.4 cm
• Actual distance = $6.4 \times 25,000 = 160,000$ cm
• Convert to km: $160,000 \div 100,000 = 1.6$ km

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct multiplication ($6.4 \times 25,000$)
• 1 mark for correct conversion to km (÷ 100,000) and answer

(b) [3 marks] Answer: 8 cm²

Working:

• Area scale factor = $(25,000)^2 = 625,000,000$
• Actual area = $0.5 \text{ km}^2 = 0.5 \times (1000 \times 100)^2 \text{ cm}^2 = 0.5 \times 10^{10} \text{ cm}^2 = 5 \times 10^9 \text{ cm}^2$
• Map area = $\frac{5 \times 10^9}{6.25 \times 10^8} = 8 \text{ cm}^2$

Alternative working:

• 1 km = 100,000 cm, so 1 km² = $10^{10}$ cm²
• 0.5 km² = $5 \times 10^9$ cm²
• Map area = $\frac{5 \times 10^9}{25,000^2} = \frac{5 \times 10^9}{6.25 \times 10^8} = 8 \text{ cm}^2$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct area scale factor ($25,000^2$)
• 1 mark for correct conversion of 0.5 km² to cm²
• 1 mark for correct division and answer (8 cm²)
• Common mistake: Using linear scale factor instead of area scale factor

---

Section B: Percentage and Real-World Applications [15 marks]

6 [2 marks]

Answer: $105

Working:

• Discounted price = 80% of original price (since 20% discount)
• $84 = 0.8 \times \text{Original price}$
• Original price = $84 \div 0.8 = 105$

Alternative:

• 20% discount → discounted price is $\frac{4}{5}$ of original
• Original = $84 \times \frac{5}{4} = 105$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for recognising discounted price is 80% (or $\frac{4}{5}$) of original
• 1 mark for correct calculation and answer
• Common mistake: Adding 20% of $84 to$84 (gives $100.80, incorrect)

---

7 [1 mark]

Answer: 80%

---

8 [2 marks]

Answer: 15%

Working:

• Increase = $51,750 - 45,000 = 6,750$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct increase (6,750)
• 1 mark for correct percentage calculation and answer
• Common mistake: Using new value as denominator

---

9 [3 marks]

Answer: $918

Working:

• First discount: 15% off $1,200
• Price after first discount = $1,200 \times 0.85 =$1,020
• Second discount: 10% off $1,020
• Final price = $1,020 \times 0.90 =$918

Alternative (single step):

• Final price = $1,200 \times 0.85 \times 0.90 =$918

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct first discounted price ($1,020)
• 1 mark for correct application of second discount
• 1 mark for correct final answer
• Common mistake: Adding discounts (25% off $1,200 =$900, incorrect)

---

10 [3 marks]

(a) [2 marks] Answer: $1,575

Working:

• Total spent percentage = $30\% + 20\% + 15\% = 65\%$
• Savings percentage = $100\% - 65\% = 35\%$
• Savings = $35\% \times 4,500 = 0.35 \times 4,500 = 1,575$

Alternative:

• Housing: $0.30 \times 4,500 = 1,350$
• Food: $0.20 \times 4,500 = 900$
• Transport: $0.15 \times 4,500 = 675$
• Total spent = $2,925$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct time conversion (2.5 hours)
• 1 mark for correct distance with units

---

13 [3 marks]

Answer: 1.5 hours (or 1 hour 30 minutes)

Working:

• Let $t$ = time at 18 km/h (in hours)
• Time at 12 km/h = $(3 - t)$ hours
• Total distance = $18t + 12(3 - t) = 45$
• $18t + 36 - 12t = 45$
• $6t = 9$
• $t = 1.5$ hours

Check:

• Distance at 18 km/h = $18 \times 1.5 = 27$ km
• Distance at 12 km/h = $12 \times 1.5 = 18$ km
• Total = 45 km ✓

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct equation setup

19 [4 marks]

(a) [1 mark] Answer: 1B

Working:

• 1B has 42 students (highest bar)

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct class

(b) [1 mark] Answer: 192 students

Working:

• Total = $38 + 42 + 35 + 40 + 37 = 192$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct total

(c) [2 marks] Answer: 38.4 students (or 38 or 39 students with explanation)

Working:

• Equal distribution = $\frac{192}{5} = 38.4$ students per class
• Since students are whole persons, this would require 3 classes of 38 and 2 classes of 39, or similar arrangement.

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct division (192 ÷ 5 = 38.4)
• 1 mark for correct interpretation (38.4, or practical whole-number distribution)
• Accept 38.4 or "38 or 39 students" with explanation

---

20 [5 marks]

(a) [2 marks] Answer: Yes, the bill is directly proportional to consumption.

Working:

• Rate per kWh for each month:
  • Jan: $89.60 \div 320 = 0.28$
  • Feb: $78.40 \div 280 = 0.28$
  • Mar: $98.00 \div 350 = 0.28$
  • Apr: $112.00 \div 400 = 0.28$
  • May: $106.40 \div 380 = 0.28$
  • Jun: $100.80 \div 360 = 0.28$
• All months give the same rate ($0.28 per kWh), so bill ∝ consumption.

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for calculating rate for at least 2 months (or all)
• 1 mark for correct conclusion with evidence

(b) [1 mark] Answer: $117.60

Working:

• Rate = $0.28 per kWh
• Bill for 420 kWh = $420 \times 0.28 = 117.60$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct calculation (follow-through from part (a) rate)

(c) [2 marks] Answer: $129.36

Working:

• New rate = $0.28 \times 1.10 = 0.308$ per kWh
• New bill = $420 \times 0.308 = 129.36$

Alternative:

• Original bill for 420 kWh = $117.60
• 10% increase = $117.60 \times 1.10 = 129.36$

Marking notes:

• 1 mark for correct new rate ($0.308) or 10% increase method
• 1 mark for correct final answer
