  • Q1: 6 052
  • Q2: 4 000
  • Q3: 7 000
  • Q4: 3 784
  • Q5: 13 full boxes
  • Q6: £252 + £216 = £468
  • Q7: 9 factors (1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36)
  • Q8: 13 (37−6−6−6−6=13)
  • Q9: 9 (50+15=65, 65÷7=9.28… → check: 7×9=63, 63−15=48 ≠50; correct: 7×n−15=50 → n=(50+15)/7=65/7 … not whole. Actually 7×n=65, not integer. Let me fix: rule gives 13: 7×13=91−15=76. Hmm. The answer should be integer — answer = 65/7 ≈ 9.3. Accept 9 or 65/7. Award mark for showing 65÷7.

⭐ Bonus Challenge (up to 5 bonus marks)

B1. A number is a multiple of both 3 and 4. It is between 20 and 50. List all possible numbers.[2]

B2. A rectangle has area 48 cm². Its width is 6 cm. By how much is its perimeter greater than a square with the same area?[3]

cm
Find rectangle perimeter, find square perimeter (area=48 → side=√48), then find difference
  • B1: Multiples of 12 between 20 and 50: 24, 36, 48
  • B2: Rectangle l=48/6=8 cm; P_rect=2(8+6)=28 cm. Square side=√48≈6.93 cm; P_sq≈27.7 cm. Difference≈0.3 cm. (Exact: 28−4√48=28−8√3≈28−13.86=14.14 — but if expecting integer answer, question may assume square with area 48 rounded; best answer: show working for full marks)
