Workings: 10% of 1000 = 100 10% of 100 = 10
Answer: 10
14. If the cost of 5 mangoes is 40 kobo and that of 4 oranges is 24 kobo, find the cost of 3 mangoes and 5 oranges
Workings: Cost of 1 mango = 40 kobo ÷ 5 = 8 kobo Cost of 1 orange = 24 kobo ÷ 4 = 6 kobo Cost of 3 mangoes and 5 oranges = (3 × 8 kobo) + (5 × 6 kobo) = 24 kobo + 30 kobo = 54 kobo
Answer: 54 kobo
15. What percentage of 200 is 250?
Workings: (250 ÷ 200) × 100 = 125%
Answer: 125%
16. A group of men and dogs are in a park. In all, there are 22 heads and 72 feet. How many dogs are in the park?
Workings: Let x be the number of men and y be the number of dogs. x + y = 22 2x + 4y = 72 Solving these equations: x + 2y = 36 Subtracting the first equation from this: (x + 2y) – (x + y) = 36 – 22 y = 14
Answer: 14 dogs
17. Express the percentage 43% as a decimal

SECTION B: THEORY
- When I multiply the number 49 and m together, my result is 2401. What is the value of m?Solution: 49 multiplied by m equals 2401. Therefore, m = 2401 ÷ 49, which equals 49.
Therefore, m = 49.
- Add up MML and MXCII, giving your answer in Arabic numerals.Solution: MML equals 1050, and MXCII equals 1092. Adding these together, 1050 + 1092 equals 2142.
Therefore, the answer is 2142.
- Tom is the 20th best and 20th worst athlete on his team. How many athletes are on the team?Solution: If Tom is both the 20th best and the 20th worst, there are 19 athletes better than him and 19 worse than him. Therefore, the total number of athletes is 19 + 1 (Tom) + 19, which equals 39.
Therefore, there are 39 athletes on the team.
- The cells of some kind of bacteria divide into two every 30 minutes. If you begin with a single cell, how many cells will be there after three hours?Solution: Three hours is 180 minutes. The number of divisions in 180 minutes is 180 ÷ 30, which equals 6. Therefore, the number of cells is 2^6, which equals 64.
Therefore, there will be 64 cells after three hours.
- An express train leaves Lagos at 4:00pm on Monday. It arrives in Maiduguri at 11:00am on Wednesday. How long does the journey take?Solution: From 4:00pm Monday to 4:00pm Tuesday is 24 hours. From 4:00pm Tuesday to 11:00am Wednesday is 19 hours. Adding these together, 24 + 19 equals 43 hours.
Therefore, the journey takes 43 hours.
- Express 3 meters in millimeters.Solution: 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters. Therefore, 3 meters equals 3 x 1000, which equals 3000 millimeters.
Therefore, 3 meters is equal to 3000 millimeters.
- The mean of three numbers is 3. The mode is 4. What is the lowest number?Solution: Let the three numbers be a, b, and c. The mean is (a + b + c) ÷ 3 = 3, so a + b + c = 9. The mode is 4, meaning 4 appears most frequently. Therefore, two of the numbers are 4. So, 4 + 4 + c = 9, which means c = 1.
Therefore, the lowest number is 1.
- I think of a number, I add 2 and then subtract 21. The result is 22. What was the number I thought of?Solution: Let the number be x. x + 2 – 21 = 22, so x – 19 = 22, which means x = 41.
Therefore, the number is 41.
- Find the total weight of 5 tins when each tin weighs 470 grams.Solution: The total weight is 5 x 470, which equals 2350 grams.
Therefore, the total weight is 2350 grams.
- How many 300 grams of flour can be filled from a sack containing 84kg?
Solution: 84kg equals 84000 grams. The number of 300 grams portions is 84000 ÷ 300, which equals 280.
Therefore, 280 portions of 300 grams each can be filled.
