Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Compare the tenths digit first: 0.02, 0.152, 0.2, 0.37, 0.4
So the order is 0.02, 0.152, 0.2, 0.37, 0.4
Watch out: Thinking 0.152 is biggest because it has the most digits.

| Answer | Plum = 7 trees: one full square and three quarters of a square | 3 marks |
|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Key: one square = 4 trees.
Apple 3 squares = 12, cherry 141 squares = 5, pear 121 squares = 6.
Plum =30−(12+5+6)=7 trees.
7÷4=143, so draw one full square and three quarters of a square.
Watch out: Reading the small cherry square as a half (2 trees) rather than a quarter (1 tree).

Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Try primes p and check whether 32−p is prime:
32−3=29 (prime) ✓
32−13=19 (prime) ✓
So 3 and 29 (or 13 and 19).
Watch out: Using 1 and 31, but 1 is not prime.

Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
(a) At 0 miles the line starts at £10, so the fixed charge is £10.
(b) The line rises from £10 to £100 over 60 miles, which is £1.50 per mile.
20 miles more costs 20×1.5=£30 more (e.g. 20 miles £40, 40 miles £70).
Watch out: Giving the cost of a 20-mile delivery (£40) instead of the difference.

| Answer | Angle ADC=105° and angle ABC=105°, with AB=AD, so ABCD is a kite | 4 marks |
|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Angle BAD=100° (marked on the diagram).
Angle ADC=180−75=105° (angles on a straight line add up to 180°).
Angle BCD=50° (vertically opposite angles are equal).
Angle ABC=360−100−50−105=105° (angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360°).
AB=AD, so triangle ABD is isosceles and angles ABD and ADB are equal. Since angle ABC = angle ADC, angles CBD and CDB are also equal, so CB=CD.
Two pairs of equal adjacent sides, so ABCD is a kite.
Watch out: Finding the angles but not giving a reason for each step.

(a) Orange juice limits it: 300÷5=60 ml per part.
Lemonade needed =2×60=120 ml (he has 200 ml, so enough).
Total =7×60=420 ml.
(b) No: he still only needs 120 ml of lemonade, and 160 ml is enough.
Watch out: Using all 500 ml of liquid and ignoring the ratio.

|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
For similar shapes every length is multiplied by the same scale factor.
12÷8=1.5 but 10÷6=1.67, so the rectangles are not similar. Jim is wrong.
Watch out: Agreeing with Jim because both sides grow by 4.

| Answer | Jan's Store: 104 g per £1 against 100 g per £1 | 4 marks |
|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Food Mart: £5×0.8=£4 for 400 g, so 400÷4=100 g per £1.
Jan's Store: 400×1.3=520 g for £5, so 520÷5=104 g per £1.
104 > 100, so Jan's Store is better value.
Watch out: Assuming 20% off and 30% extra can be compared directly without calculating.

Show answer
| Answer | No: he would get £210 instead of £180, only about 16.7% more (25% more would be £225) | 5 marks |
|---|
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Managers get 0.4×2100=£840, so salesmen get 2100−840=£1260.
Each salesman: 1260÷7=£180.
Shared equally: 2100÷10=£210.
25% more than £180 is 180×1.25=£225.
£210=£225, so the salesman is wrong (it is only about 16.7% more).
Watch out: Working out 25% of the whole bonus rather than of one salesman's share.

1 hour =60×60=3600 seconds.
Time for 1 mile =3600÷200=18 seconds.
