Answers and explanations for all 10 questions

Every answer with the reasoning behind it. Worth reading after you have tried the set — or on its own, if you are a parent marking it.

  1. A table shows visitors: Friday 148, Saturday 236, Sunday 216. How many visitors came over the three days?

    Answer: 600

    148 + 236 + 216 = 600 visitors.

  2. A table shows visitors: Friday 148, Saturday 236, Sunday 216. What was the average number of visitors per day?

    Answer: 200

    600 ÷ 3 = 200 visitors a day.

  3. A pie chart of 80 votes shows: swimming 1/4, football 3/8, tennis 1/5, the rest basketball. How many votes did basketball get?

    Answer: 14

    1/4 + 3/8 + 1/5 = 10/40 + 15/40 + 8/40 = 33/40, so basketball is 7/40 of 80 = 14 votes.

  4. A survey of 50 pupils shows: bus 20, walk 15, car 10, cycle 5. What percentage come by bus?

    Answer: 40%

    20 out of 50 is 20/50 = 2/5 = 40%.

  5. A price table shows: adult $15, child $8, senior $11. What does a group of 3 adults and 4 children pay?

    Answer: $77

    3 × $15 = $45 and 4 × $8 = $32, so the group pays $77.

  6. A table shows rainfall in mm: May 180, Jun 245, Jul 310, Aug 160. How much more rain fell in July than in August?

    Answer: 150 mm

    310 − 160 = 150 mm more.

  7. A pie chart of a $240 bill shows: food 45%, drinks 25%, service the rest. How much was the service charge?

    Answer: $72

    100% − 45% − 25% = 30%, and 30% of $240 is $72.

  8. A bus timetable shows departures at 14 05, 14 25, 14 50 and 15 10. A passenger arrives at 14 32. How long must he wait?

    Answer: 18 min

    The next bus is at 14 50, and from 14 32 to 14 50 is 18 minutes.

  9. A table shows books borrowed: 6A 52, 6B 47, 6C ?, 6D 61. 220 books were borrowed altogether. How many did 6C borrow?

    Answer: 60

    52 + 47 + 61 = 160, and 220 − 160 = 60 books from 6C.

  10. A table shows stamps: local 36, overseas 24. What is the ratio of local to overseas in its simplest form?

    Answer: 3 : 2

    Both 36 and 24 divide by 12, giving 3 : 2.
