The mode is the value that appears most often.
3 appears four times, more than any other number, so the mode is 3.

| Answer | Any 3-digit number ending in 0 or 5, e.g. 725 | 1 mark |

Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Multiples of 5 always end in 0 or 5.
So any number from 100 to 995 ending in 0 or 5 works, for example 725.
Watch out: Giving a number with the wrong number of digits, such as 50.

The most negative number is the smallest.
Negatives: −11<−7<−2, then positives: 3<8<10.

Angle ACB=180−116−25=39∘ (angles in a triangle add up to 180∘).
x and angle ACB are vertically opposite, so x=39∘ (vertically opposite angles are equal).

| Answer | With mattress: 53, 19, 67, 139; without: 17, 26, 16, 59; totals: 70, 45, 83, 198 | 3 marks |
|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Put in the given values: total 198, without mattress 59, double total 45, single without 17, king total 83, king with 67.
King without: 83−67=16. Single total: 198−45−83=70, so single with =70−17=53.
Double without: 59−17−16=26, so double with =45−26=19.
With mattress total: 198−59=139 (check: 53+19+67=139).
Watch out: Placing 67 as the king size total instead of 83.

Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Double the first equation: 10x+4y=54
Subtract the second: (10x+4y)−(6x+4y)=54−28, so 4x=26 and x=6.5
Substitute: 5(6.5)+2y=27, so 2y=−5.5 and y=−2.75
Watch out: Adding the equations instead of subtracting when the signs are the same.
