Part 10· 3 steps

During a clearance sale, a shop reduced the prices of all its goods by 20%. A customer bought a pair of shoes for Le 35,000 during the sale. Calculate the price of the shoe before the sale.

  1. Determine the percentage of the original price paid.

    A 20% reduction means the customer paid 100%−20%=80%100\% - 20\% = 80\% of the original price.

  2. Set up an equation to find the original price.

    Let PP be the original price.

    0.80×P=Le 35,0000.80 \times P = \text{Le } 35,000
  3. Solve for PP.

    P=Le 35,0000.80P = \frac{\text{Le } 35,000}{0.80} P=Le 43,750P = \text{Le } 43,750

    The correct option is C. Le43,750.

Find the simple interest on Le500,000.00 for 5 years at 6% per annum.

  1. Identify the given values.

    Principal (PP) = Le 500,000
    Rate (RR) = 6% per annum
    Time (TT) = 5 years

  2. Use the simple interest formula.

    The formula for simple interest is I=P×R×T100I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}.

  3. Substitute the values and calculate the interest.

    I=500,000×6×5100I = \frac{500,000 \times 6 \times 5}{100} I=15,000,000100I = \frac{15,000,000}{100} I=Le 150,000I = \text{Le } 150,000

    The correct option is D. Le150,000.00.


Part 12· 3 steps

A bus on a non-stop journey travelling at an average speed of 66 km per hour, left Freetown at 8:30 a.m and arrived in Koidu town at 11:50 a.m. What is the distance of the journey?

  1. Calculate the duration of the journey.

    Departure time: 8:30 a.m.
    Arrival time: 11:50 a.m.
    Duration = (11 hours 50 minutes) - (8 hours 30 minutes)
    Duration = 3 hours 20 minutes.

  2. Convert the duration to hours.

    20 minutes=2060 hours=13 hours20 \text{ minutes} = \frac{20}{60} \text{ hours} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours}

    Total time (TT) = 3+13 hours=93+13 hours=103 hours3 + \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours} = \frac{9}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ hours}.

  3. Calculate the distance using the formula Distance = Speed ×\times Time.

    Speed (SS) = 66 km/hour.

    D=S×TD = S \times T D=66 km/hour×103 hoursD = 66 \text{ km/hour} \times \frac{10}{3} \text{ hours} D=22×10 kmD = 22 \times 10 \text{ km} D=220 kmD = 220 \text{ km}

    The correct option is B. 220 km.


Part 13· 3 steps

A pavement of length 500 m and width 150 m is to be laid by using slabs of dimensions 75 cm by 40 cm. How many slabs are required?

  1. Calculate the area of the pavement.

    Pavement length (LpL_p) = 500 m = 500×100 cm=50,000 cm500 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 50,000 \text{ cm}.
    Pavement width (WpW_p) = 150 m = 150×100 cm=15,000 cm150 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 15,000 \text{ cm}.
    Area of pavement (ApA_p) = Lp×Wp=50,000 cm×15,000 cm=750,000,000 cm2L_p \times W_p = 50,000 \text{ cm} \times 15,000 \text{ cm} = 750,000,000 \text{ cm}^2.

  2. Calculate the area of one slab.

    Slab length (LsL_s) = 75 cm.
    Slab width (WsW_s) = 40 cm.
    Area of one slab (AsA_s) = Ls×Ws=75 cm×40 cm=3,000 cm2L_s \times W_s = 75 \text{ cm} \times 40 \text{ cm} = 3,000 \text{ cm}^2.

  3. Calculate the number of slabs required.

    Number of slabs=Area of pavementArea of one slab\text{Number of slabs} = \frac{\text{Area of pavement}}{\text{Area of one slab}} Number of slabs=750,000,000 cm23,000 cm2\text{Number of slabs} = \frac{750,000,000 \text{ cm}^2}{3,000 \text{ cm}^2} Number of slabs=250,000\text{Number of slabs} = 250,000

    There seems to be a discrepancy with the options provided. Let me recheck the calculation.
    500×150=75000 m2500 \times 150 = 75000 \text{ m}^2.
    75 cm×40 cm=0.75 m×0.40 m=0.3 m275 \text{ cm} \times 40 \text{ cm} = 0.75 \text{ m} \times 0.40 \text{ m} = 0.3 \text{ m}^2.
    Number of slabs = 75000 m20.3 m2=7500003=250000\frac{75000 \text{ m}^2}{0.3 \text{ m}^2} = \frac{750000}{3} = 250000.

    Let's re-examine the options. The options are 3000, 2500, 2250, 2000. My calculated answer is 250,000. This is significantly larger than any option. It's possible there's a typo in the question or options, or I misread a unit.
    Let's assume the pavement dimensions were in cm and the slabs in mm, or vice versa, but the question states m and cm.
    If the pavement was 500 cm by 150 cm, then 500×150=75000 cm2500 \times 150 = 75000 \text{ cm}^2.
    Number of slabs = 75000 cm23000 cm2=25\frac{75000 \text{ cm}^2}{3000 \text{ cm}^2} = 25. This is too small.

    Let's assume the pavement dimensions were 50 m by 15 m.
    Area of pavement = 50 m×15 m=750 m250 \text{ m} \times 15 \text{ m} = 750 \text{ m}^2.
    Area of one slab = 0.75 m×0.40 m=0.3 m20.75 \text{ m} \times 0.40 \text{ m} = 0.3 \text{ m}^2.
    Number of slabs = 750 m20.3 m2=75003=2500\frac{750 \text{ m}^2}{0.3 \text{ m}^2} = \frac{7500}{3} = 2500.
    This matches option B. It is highly probable that the pavement dimensions were intended to be 50 m by 15 m, or there is a factor of 100 error in the question's length/width. Given the multiple-choice options, I will proceed with the assumption that the pavement dimensions were 50 m by 15 m.

    Revised Step 1 (Assumption: Pavement length 50 m, width 15 m to match options):
    Pavement length (LpL_p) = 50 m = 5000 cm5000 \text{ cm}.
    Pavement width (WpW_p) = 15 m = 1500 cm1500 \text{ cm}.
    Area of pavement (ApA_p) = Lp×Wp=5000 cm×1500 cm=7,500,000 cm2L_p \times W_p = 5000 \text{ cm} \times 1500 \text{ cm} = 7,500,000 \text{ cm}^2.

    Revised Step 2 (Area of one slab remains the same):
    Area of one slab (AsA_s) = 75 cm×40 cm=3,000 cm275 \text{ cm} \times 40 \text{ cm} = 3,000 \text{ cm}^2.

    Revised Step 3 (Calculate number of slabs):

    Number of slabs=7,500,000 cm23,000 cm2\text{Number of slabs} = \frac{7,500,000 \text{ cm}^2}{3,000 \text{ cm}^2} Number of slabs=2,500\text{Number of slabs} = 2,500

    The correct option is B. 2500.


Part 14· 4 steps

Calculate the perimeter of the figure below.

  1. Identify the components of the perimeter.

    The figure consists of a rectangle with two semicircles at its ends.
    The perimeter is made up of:

    • Two straight sides of length 100 m.
    • The circumference of two semicircles, which together form one full circle. The diameter of this circle is given as 35 m.
  2. Calculate the length of the straight sides.

    Length of two straight sides = 2×100 m=200 m2 \times 100 \text{ m} = 200 \text{ m}.

  3. Calculate the circumference of the two semicircles (one full circle).

    The diameter (dd) of the circle is 35 m.
    The circumference (CC) of a circle is πd\pi d. Using π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.

    C=227×35 mC = \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \text{ m} C=22×5 mC = 22 \times 5 \text{ m} C=110 mC = 110 \text{ m}
  4. Add the lengths to find the total perimeter.

    Perimeter=Length of straight sides+Circumference of circle\text{Perimeter} = \text{Length of straight sides} + \text{Circumference of circle} Perimeter=200 m+110 m\text{Perimeter} = 200 \text{ m} + 110 \text{ m} Perimeter=310 m\text{Perimeter} = 310 \text{ m}

    The correct option is A. 310 m.
