Whatisthesellingprice? a Howmuchisthesaving? b
Solution
Explanation
a Sellingprice = 85% of $2515% discountmeanstheremustbe 85% left (100%- 15%)
= 0.85 × $25
Convert 85% to 0.85 andmultiplybytheamount. = $21.25
b Saving = 15% of $25
= 0.15 × $25
Yousave 15% oftheoriginalprice.
Convert 15% to 0.15 andmultiplybytheoriginal price. = $3.75
orsaving = $25 - $21.25 = $3.75

Taxableincome = $54225
b Taxpayable:
$4288 + 0.3 × ($54225 - $45000) = $7055.50
Taxableincome = grossincome - deductions

Solution Explanation
P = 4000
n = 5 × 12
Listthevaluesofthetermsyouknow.
Convertthetimeinyearstothenumberofperiods(inthis question,months),i.e. 60 months = 5 years. = 60

Surface area
Draw a net and add the surface areas.
Triangular prism

= 2 ×× 4 × 3
Cylinder 2 endscurved part 4 m 3 m

The volume and surface area of composite solids (made up of more than one solid) can be found by combining the volume and surface area (or parts of) the individual solids.

Circumference
The distance around the outside of a circle.

Area of basic shapes
Square: A = l 2
Rectangle: A = lw
Triangle: A = bh1 2
Measurement

solids associated with the measuring instruments and how they are used.

Accuracy depends on any error

Limits of accuracy are usually
Parallelogram: A = bh
Trapezium: A = (a + b)h
Rhombus: A = xy1 2 1 2
For any prism, V = Ah where A is the area of the cross-section. ± 0.5× the smallest unit. Area of a circle

It is important to use exact values or a large number of decimal places to avoid accumulating errors in calculations.
Percentage error = error100 1 actual result
