25 played drums
20 played tassa
3x played neither.
Let D represent the set of students in
the survey who played drums, and T
the set of students who played tassa.
(iii) Calculate the value of x.
(2 marks)
ANSWER
3. (a)
(iii) n(U ) = 85 and n(U ) = 2x + 45

so we have the following equation:
Subtract 45 from
2 x 45 85
both sides.
So 2 x 85 45
i.e. 2 x 40
Divide both sides
40

House
$4.50 per $1 000
Contents
$2.10 per $1 000
A house is valued at $800 000 and the contents at $200 000.

How much will the owner pay for home insurance?
(A) $2 100
(B) $4 500
(C) $4 020
(D) $6 600
ANSWER
16. The cost for insuring the house
= $4.50 $800 000

$1 000
= $4.50 800
= $450 8
= $3 600
The cost for insuring the contents = $2.10 $200 000

$1 000
= $2.10 200
= $210 2
= $420
The cost for the home insurance = $(3 600 + 420)

= $4 020

How many Guyanese dollars is
Robert owing on his credit card
for this transaction?
(2 marks)
ANSWER
1. (b) (i)
CAN $1.00 = GUY $164.00

CAN $450.00 = GUY $164.00 450

So
GUY $1.00 = CAN $
164.00
1.00
GUY $28 700.00 = CAN $

28 700.00
164.00

squares. The scale of the map is
1 : 5 000.
Use the map of the recreation park, find
(i) the distance, to the nearest metre, from
St. Maria to St. Albert on the ground.
(ii) the distance, to the nearest metre, from St.
Albert to St. Raymond on the ground.
(iii) the area on the ground represented by
1 cm2 on the map.
(iv) the approximate area of the recreation park
on the ground, stating the answer in square
metres.
(6 marks)
ANSWER
4. (a)
The scale of 1 : 5 000 means

1 cm represents 5 000 cm
So 1 cm represents 50 m
(i) The distance from St. Maria
to St. Albert on the map = 5 cm
The distance from St. Maria to
St. Albert
on the ground = 5 50 m = 250 m
(ii) The distance from St. Albert to

St. Raymond on the map = 8.6 cm
The distance from
St. Albert to St. Raymond
on the ground = 8.6 50 m
= 430 m
(iii) The area on the ground

represented by 1 cm2
on the map = (50 m)2
= 2 500 m2
(iv) The approximate area of

the recreation park on
the map
cm2
= 75 cm2
The approximate area of

Calculate
(i) the values of k and l
(ii) the book value of the Private Car after 2 years. (6 marks)
ANSWER
1. (b) (i) The book value

of the Taxi after
one year, $k = (100 15)% of $75 000
= 85% of $75 000
