17 There are 3 ways to arrange the first pupil: Alex, Carol and Dean (Benny does not stand at the first position). 
If Alex is at the first position, there are 2ways to arrange the second position (Benny and Carol) since Alex is not 
standing next to Dean. 
For each of the case, there are 2 ways to arrange the remaining 2 pupils. 
If Carol is at the first position, Benny cannot be at the second position since Alex and Dean have to be next to each
other then. Therefore, there are only two ways to arrange the second position (Alex and Dean). 
For each of the case, there are only one way to arrange the third and last position, since the third position must be 
Benny. 
If Dean is at the first position, there are two ways to arrange the second position (Benny or Carol). 
For each of the case, there are two ways to arrange the remaining pupils. 
The number of possible ways is 1 x 2 x 2 + 1 x 2 x 1 + 1 x 2 x 2 = 10 
There are 10 ways to arrange these pupils.

26 The number of candies in the box is a common

The smallest multiple of 4 and 7 is 4 x 7 = 28 
We have 28 x 2 = 56 < 60 
28 x 3 = 84 and 60 < 84 < 100 
28 x 4 = 112 > 10 
So the number of candies in the box is 84. 
29 32 x 7 = 224

3 The shaded area can be divided into two parts: a 
triangle at the top and a rectangle at the bottom. 
The area of the shaded part is 
3 x 3 ÷ 2 + 3 x 1 = 7.5 squares 
The area of each square is 3 x 3 = 9 cm2 
So the area of the shaded part is 9 x 7.5 = 67.5 cm2 
4 Fraction of the area of the smaller piece is

Perimeter of the triangle 30 + 12 + 28 = 70 cm 
Perimeter of the square 118 – 70 = 48 cm

12 400 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5

From the figure we can see that 1 equal part in 
Joey’s money is 2 equal parts in Zhong Ren’s

money. 
Total number of squares 2 x 5 + 7 + 3 x 3 = 26 
Value of one square 1326 ÷ 26 = 51 
Joey spent 51 x 2 x 2 = 204 
Zhong Ren spent 51 x 1 = 51 
Suriya spent 51 x 1 x 3 = 153 
Total amount spent 204 + 51 + 153 = 408 
They spent $408 altogether.

Cost of 1 pair of shoes 162 ÷ 3 = 54 
A pair of shoes costs $54.

Time taken so that tank X is 32l more than tank Y 
32 ÷ 8 = 4 minutes 
Rate of water flowing in tank Y 22 ÷ 4 + 56.5 = 62 
After 1 hour, the volume of water in tank Y is

4 2 boxes of candies and 3 boxes of cookies is 5 x 3.84

3 boxes of candies and 2 boxes of cookies is 5 x 3.7 = 
18.5 kg 
Therefore 9 boxes of candies and 6 boxes of cookies 
is 18.5 x 3 = 55.5 kg 
So 5 boxes of candies is 55.5 – 38.4 = 17.1 kg 
1 boxes of candies is 17.1 ÷ 5 = 3.42 kg 
1 boxes of cookies is (19.2 – 2 x 3.42) ÷ 3 = 4.12 kg 
The total mass of 2 boxes of candies and 1 box of

26 If each pupil gets 7 pens, there will be 3 pens extra. 
To give each pupil 8 pens, the 3 extra pens can be 
given to 3 pupils. There are 4 pens short. 
So the number of pupil is 4 + 3 = 7 
Number of pens 7 x 7 + 3 = 52 
a) There are 7 pupils 
b) There are 52 pens.

candies than strawberry candies. 
28 Percentage of the breadth to half-perimeter 
15% x 2 = 30% 
Percentage of the length to half-perimeter 
100% - 30% = 70% 
Ratio of breadth to length is 3 : 7 
The breadth is 760 ÷ (7 – 3) x 3 = 570 cm = 5.7m 
The length is 760 + 570 = 1330 cm = 13.3m 
Area = 5.70 x 13.30 = 75.81 m2 
570 ÷ 30 = 19

Charges for first 40 units: 1.17 x 40 = 46.80 
Charges for the remaining units 
1.40 x (56 – 40) = 22.40 
Total bill: 46.80 + 22.40 = 69.20 
In February 
Charges for the units above the first 40 units: 
135 – 46.80 = 88.20 
Number of units above the first 40 units: 
88.20 ÷ 1.40 = 63 
Total consumption in February 40 + 63 = 103 
Average consumption: (56 + 40 + 63) ÷ 2 = 79.5 
Average bill (69.20 + 135) ÷ 2 = 102.1 
a) 103 units

2 George folded 100% - 35% = 65% of the birds. 
The difference between them is 65% -35% = 30% of

10 Triangle SQR and triangle PQR have the same base 
QR and their heights are in the ratio of 1 : 4. 
Therefore there areas are also in the ratio of 1 : 4. 
Therefore the ratio of the shaded area to that of 
triangle PQR is 3 : 4 
Area of triangle PQR is 54 ÷ 3 x 4 = 72 cm2 
12 Number of students remained 36 – 9 = 27 
Number of extra lollipops 27 x 3 = 81

13 AC = 9 cm 
BC = 12 cm 
Side of the small square inside: 12 – 9 = 3 cm 
Area of triangle ABC 9 x 12 ÷ 2 = 54 cm2 
Area of the small square 3 x 3 = 9 cm2 
Area of the square MNPQ 54 x 4 + 9 = 225 cm2 
14 Height of triangle D is the width of the rectangle, so it 
is 6 cm. 
The base of triangle D is 30 x 2 ÷ 6 = 10 cm 
Triangles A and D have the same height. Therefore 
the base of triangle A is 10 x 3 ÷ 5 = 6 cm 
Triangles A and B also have the same height. 
So the base of triangle B is 6 x 3 = 18 cm 
The length of the rectangle is 18 + 10 = 28 cm 
The perimeter of the rectangle is (28 + 6) x 2 = 68 cm

3 2 
Ratio of money received from selling story books to 
comic books (1 x 12) : (1 x 8) = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2 
Money received from selling story books 
6400 ÷ (3 + 2) x 3 = 3840 
Money the shop would received from selling the 
remaining 1 3 
of the story books 
3840 ÷ 2 = 1920 
Money the shop would receive at the end 
6400 + 1920 = 8320 
When all the books were sold, the shop would receive 
$8320. 
17 From the figure, 5 3 
of Joey’s marbles is 7 
Ratio between Joey’s marbles and Thomas’s marbles is 10 : 21 
Ratio between Joey’s marbles to the difference between them is 10 : 11 
Ratio between Joey’s marbles to Ben’s marbles is 10 : 22 = 5 : 11 
Joey’s marbles is 48 ÷ (11 – 5) x 5 = 40 
Thomas’s marbles is 40 / 10 x 21 = 84 
Ben’s marbles is 40 ÷ 5 x 11 = 88 , 84 + 40 + 88 = 212. They have 212 marbles altogether. 
18 Volume of tank A 4 x 6 x 1 = 24 m3 , Volume of tank B 5 x 3 x 2 = 30 m3

The largest difference is 3349 – 1651 = 1698 10 Triangle SQR and triangle PQR have the same base QR and their heights are in the ratio of 1 : 4. Therefore there areas are also in the ratio of 1 : 4.

The base of triangle D is 30 x 2 ÷ 6 = 10 cm Triangles A and D have the same height. Therefore the base of triangle A is 10 x 3 ÷ 5 = 6 cm Triangles A and B also have the same height. So the base of triangle B is 6 x 3 = 18 cm The length of the rectangle is 18 + 10 = 28 cm The perimeter of the rectangle is (28 + 6) x 2 = 68 cm 16 (45 + 6 + 3) ÷ 2 = 27 Lucy had $27 at first. 15 Ratio of story books to comic books is 1.5 : 1 = 3 : 2 Ratio of story books sold to comic books sold (3 x ) : (2 x 1) = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1 3 2 Ratio of money received from selling story books to comic books (1 x 12) : (1 x 8) = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2 Money received from selling story books 6400 ÷ (3 + 2) x 3 = 3840 Money the shop would received from selling the remaining 1 3 of the story books 3840 ÷ 2 = 1920 Money the shop would receive at the end 6400 + 1920 = 8320 When all the books were sold, the shop would receive $8320. 17 From the figure, 5 3 of Joey’s marbles is 7 Ratio between Joey’s marbles and Thomas’s marbles is 10 : 21 Ratio between Joey’s marbles to the difference between them is 10 : 11 Ratio between Joey’s marbles to Ben’s marbles is 10 : 22 = 5 : 11 Joey’s marbles is 48 ÷ (11 – 5) x 5 = 40 Thomas’s marbles is 40 / 10 x 21 = 84 Ben’s marbles is 40 ÷ 5 x 11 = 88 , 84 + 40 + 88 = 212.
