In this part of the question, you will be assessed on the quality of your organisation, communication and accuracy in writing.
Jade is planning a weekend break to celebrate her 21st birthday.
The weekend break costs £350.
Jade’s father says,
‘If you save 21% of your earnings each week for the next 20 weeks, I will give you the rest of the money you need.’
Jade earns £72 per week.
How much is Jade’s father offering to pay towards her weekend break?
You must show all your working. [4 + 2 OCW]
Jade’s new suitcase weighs 3 kg.
When it is packed, her suitcase must not weight more than 25 kg altogether.
What percentage of the 25 kg does Jade have left for packing? [2]
Which one of the following formulae could be used to work out the volume of Jade’s new suitcase?
a, b and c are measurements of the 3 dimensions of the suitcase.
Circle your answer. [1]
\(a + b^2 + c\) \(2a^2c - 4\pi b^2\) \(abc + \pi a^2c\) \(a^3 - b^2 + c\) \(a + b^3 + c\)
Jade needs a new passport photograph.
A passport photograph must be 45 mm high by 35 mm wide.
Jade has a mathematically similar photograph that she could reduce in size to use as her new passport photograph.
The height of this photograph is 9 cm.
Calculate the width of this photograph. [2]
