Criterion A
1. A trader from Canada buys 2 television sets for $1000 and $1500
respectively. He spends $100 on the overall transportation of the sets. He
then sells them in Canada for $1,500 and $1,200 respectively. Find the
overall profit/loss faced by the trader. Also, find the percent for the
same.
2. Calculate the difference between compound interest and simple interest
for a principal amount of $10000 for 2 years at 5% rate of interest.

3. Expand the following:

(i) (x – 2y)2
(ii) (3y – 2z)2
(iii) (3x – 1/3x)2
4. If the sum of two numbers x and y is 10 and the sum of their squares is
52, find the product of the numbers.
5. A bag contains some number of white balls, twice number of white balls
are blue balls, thrice the number of blue balls are the red balls. If the
total number of balls in the bag are 27. Calculate the number of balls of
each color present in the bag.

6. Solve for ‘x’ and ‘y’:

5x + 2y = 11 ............. (i)

2x + y = 13 ............ (ii)

7. 780 students stand in rows and columns. Each row has equal number of
students and each column has equal number of students. If the number
of students in each row is 4 more than the number of rows, find the
number of students in each row.

8. Formulate the equation of the line

(i) passing through (1, 3) and making an intercept 5 on the y-axis

(ii) passing through (4, -2) and making an intercept -3 on the y-axis

 Criterion D Holiday Homework

Susie is organizing the printing of tickets for a show. She has collected prices from several printers and
these two seem to be the best.

BEST PRINT
SURE PRINT
Tickets printed $10 for setting up plus
Ticket printing 25 tickets for $2 $1 for 25 tickets

a. Using C for the cost of the printing and t for the number of tickets, Formulate an equation for each of
the printers.

Sure Print: C =

Best Print: C =

b) Susie’s brother Rob has drawn Sure Print’s graph on a grid. Draw the graph for Best Print on the same
grid.

c) Susie uses algebra to find the values of C and t when the cost of printing the tickets is the same for
both of the printers.

C = ____________ t = ____________

Explain how Susie may have calculated C and t.
