Foundation November 2020 Paper 1R Q26
26 Alex makes 80 cakes to sell.
He makes chocolate cakes, lemon cakes and fruit cakes where
number of chocolate cakes : number of lemon cakes : number of fruit cakes = 3 : 2 : 5
Alex sells
all of the chocolate cakes
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of the lemon cakes
\(\dfrac{7}{8}\) of the fruit cakes
The profit he makes on each cake he sells is shown in the table.
| Type of cake | Profit per cake he sells |
|---|---|
| chocolate | £2.00 |
| lemon | £1.70 |
| fruit | £2.40 |
Work out the total profit that Alex makes from the cakes he sells.

| e.g. \(\dfrac{3}{\text{“}10\text{”}} \times 80\) (= 24) or \(\dfrac{2}{\text{“}10\text{”}} \times 80\) (= 16) or \(\dfrac{5}{\text{“}10\text{”}} \times 80\) (= 40) | M2 |
| e.g. “16” × \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) × 1.7(0) (= 20.4(0)) or “40” × \(\dfrac{7}{8}\) × 2.4(0) (= 84) | M1 |
e.g. “24” × 2 (= 48) and “16” × \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) × 1.7(0) (= 20.4(0)) and “40” × \(\dfrac{7}{8}\) × 2.4(0) (= 84) | M1 |

Notes
M2: for a complete method to find the number of chocolate cakes or lemon cakes or fruit cakes
“10” comes from 3 + 2 + 5
(M1 for correct use of the ratio e.g. 80 ÷ “10” (= 8))
M1: for a method to find the profit for lemon cakes or fruit cakes
M1: for a method to find the profit for all 3 cakes
