1. Problem: 23 rows, 154 trees each.
Total trees = $23 \times 154 = 3542$
2. Problem: Claudia had 285 stickers, gave away 5/9.
Left = $285 \times (1 - \frac{5}{9}) = 285 \times \frac{4}{9} = 126.67$ stickers
3. Problem: Wire 3/4 m cut into 5 equal pieces.
Length each = $\frac{3/4}{5} = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$ m = 15 cm
4. Problem: Chickens to ducks ratio 5:6, ducks 112 more.
Let chickens = 5x, ducks = 6x
$6x - 5x = 112 \Rightarrow x=112$
Chickens = 560, ducks = 672
5. Problem: Cost of prawns and crabs.
Prawns: 10 kg for 26, so 18 kg cost $\frac{26}{10} \times 18 = 46.8$
Crabs: 6 kg for 12, so 9 kg cost $\frac{12}{6} \times 9 = 18$
Total = 26 + 12 + 46.8 + 18 = 102.8
6. Problem: Agatha ate 1/5 pizza, gave 1/3 of remainder away.
Remaining after eating: $1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$
Gave away: $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4}{15}$
Left: $\frac{4}{5} - \frac{4}{15} = \frac{12}{15} - \frac{4}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$
7. Problem: 15 blouses + 8 T-shirts = 684, blouse cost twice T-shirt.
Let T-shirt cost = x, blouse = 2x
$15(2x) + 8x = 684 \Rightarrow 30x + 8x = 684 \Rightarrow 38x = 684 \Rightarrow x = 18$
Cost set = $x + 2x = 3x = 54$
8. Problem: Dorothy gave away 3/4 flour to Anna and 12 kg to Mabel.
Flour left = $80 - (\frac{3}{4} \times 80 + 12) = 80 - (60 + 12) = 8$ kg
9. Problem: Pens:pencils:notebooks = 2:5:1, pens 216 more than notebooks.
Let notebooks = x, pens = 2x, pencils = 5x
$2x - x = 216 \Rightarrow x = 216$
Total = $2x + 5x + x = 8x = 1728$
10. Problem: Square edge 15 cm inside triangle with sides 30 cm and 50 cm.
Area triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 50 = 750$ cm²
Area square = $15^2 = 225$ cm²
Shaded area = $750 - 225 = 525$ cm²
11. Problem: Jeremy's car cost.
Deposit = 11245, monthly = 1012 for 6 years = $1012 \times 72 = 72864$
Total = $11245 + 72864 = 84109$
12. Problem: Ken + Alicia = 120, Gina + Claudia = 320, Ken = Gina, Claudia = 5 Alicia.
Let Alicia = a, Claudia = 5a, Ken = g, Gina = g
$a + g = 120$, $g + 5a = 320$
From first: $g = 120 - a$
Substitute: $120 - a + 5a = 320 \Rightarrow 4a = 200 \Rightarrow a = 50$
Gina = $g = 120 - 50 = 70$
13. (a) Men = $\frac{7}{12} \times 360 = 210$
Women = 360 - 210 = 150
Difference = 210 - 150 = 60
(b) Men wearing spectacles = $\frac{2}{5} \times 210 = 84$
Men not wearing spectacles = $210 - 84 = 126$
14. Problem: Ratio 3:7, after transfer 120 strawberries ratio 27:23.
Let original shares be 3x and 7x.
After transfer: $\frac{3x + 120}{7x - 120} = \frac{27}{23}$
Cross multiply and solve: $23(3x + 120) = 27(7x - 120)$
$69x + 2760 = 189x - 3240$
$120x = 6000 \Rightarrow x = 50$
Total strawberries = $3x + 7x = 10x = 500$
15. Problem: Figure made of 5 triangles, base 15 cm, height 12 cm.
Area one triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 12 = 90$
Total area = $5 \times 90 = 450$ cm²
16. Cost of 2 jugs = cost of 8 mugs.
Let cost of jug = j, mug = m.
$2j = 8m \Rightarrow j = 4m$
$4j + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 4(4m) + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 16m + 4m = 60 \Rightarrow 20m = 60 \Rightarrow m = 3$
(a) Mug cost = 3
(b) Jug cost = $4 \times 3 = 12$
17. Problem: Annabel spent 1/4 salary on food, 1/6 of remainder on transport, paid 300 rent, saved 1120 in 4 months.
Let salary = S.
After food: $S - \frac{1}{4}S = \frac{3}{4}S$
Transport: $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}S = \frac{1}{8}S$
Remaining after transport: $\frac{3}{4}S - \frac{1}{8}S = \frac{5}{8}S$
Rent = 300, Savings in 4 months = 1120, so monthly saving = 280
Equation: $\frac{5}{8}S - 300 = 280 \Rightarrow \frac{5}{8}S = 580 \Rightarrow S = \frac{580 \times 8}{5} = 928$
18. (a) Ratios: Red:Blue = 4:5, Red:Black = 5:11
Find ratio Black:Blue:Red
Equalize Red: multiply first ratio by 5, second by 4
Blue = 5 x 5 = 25, Red = 4 x 5 = 20, Black = 11 x 4 = 44
Ratio Black:Blue:Red = 44:25:20
(b) Black - Blue = 114
$44x - 25x = 114 \Rightarrow 19x = 114 \Rightarrow x = 6$
Total beads = $44x + 25x + 20x = 89x = 534$
