A vending machine accepts 10¢ coins, 20¢ coins, 50¢ coins and $1 coins only. Ivy wants to buy a can of drinks that costs $1.60. She has eight 10¢ coins, three 20¢ coins, two 50¢ coins and one $1 coin. If she wants to get rid of as many coins as possible, what is the combination of coins that she should put inside the vending machine? Solution To get rid of as many coins as possible, we try to use as many coins with the smallest value (i.e. the 10¢ coins) as possible. If Ivy uses all the eight 10¢ coins, then what is left is $1.60  80¢ = 80¢. Unfortunately, Ivy has only three 20¢ coins, which is not enough. So she has to use a 50¢ coin. But 50¢ + 20¢ = 70¢, which is 10¢ short. In other words, she can’t use all the eight 10¢ coins.  she has to use seven 10¢ coins, one 50¢ coin and two 20¢ coins.

 the pen costs $1.75 Method 2 (Model Method) Pen

60¢ $2.90

Pencil 2 units = $2.90  60¢ = $2.30 1 unit = $1.15  the pen costs $1.15 + 60¢ = $1.75 Method 3 (Algebraic Method) Let the cost of the pencil be $x. Then the cost of the pen is $(x + 0.6). So x + (x + 0.6) = 2.9 2x + 0.6 = 2.9 2x = 2.3 x = 1.15  the pen costs $(1.15 + 0.60) = $1.75 14.

If the three-digit number 3N3 is divided by 9, the remainder is 1. Find N. Solution Since 3N3 gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 9, then 3N3  1 = 3N2 is divisible by 9. Using the divisibility test for 9, 3 + N + 2 = N + 5 is also divisible by 9.  N = 4.

Charles has 16 marbles. He divides them into 4 piles so that each pile has a different number of marbles. Find the smallest possible number of marbles in the biggest pile. Solution For each pile to have a different number of marbles, and the biggest pile to have the smallest possible number of marbles, put 1 marble in the 1st pile, 2 marbles in the 2nd pile, 3 marbles in the 3rd pile and 4 marbles in the 4th pile. So the biggest pile is the 4th pile, but there are only 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 marbles. The 11th marble will have to go to the 4th pile so that each pile will have a different number of marbles. The 12th marble cannot go to the 4th pile because we want to find the smallest possible number of marbles in the biggest pile, so the 12th marble will have to go to the 3rd pile. Similarly, the 13th and 14th marbles will go to the 2nd and 1st piles respectively. The 15th marble will go to the 4th pile again, and the 16th marble to the 3rd pile.  the largest pile (which is the 4th pile) will contain 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 marbles.

A teacher has a bag of sweets to treat her class. If she gave 5 sweets to each student, then she would have 40 sweets left. If she gave 7 sweets to each student, then she would have 6 sweets left. How many students and how many sweets are there? Solution If the teacher gave 5 sweets to each student, then she would have 40 sweets left. From the 40 sweets left, if she gave 2 more sweets to each student so that each student has 7 sweets, then she would have 6 left. This means that she gave a total of 40  6 = 34 sweets from the 40 sweets left to the students. Since each student receives only 2 more sweets (i.e. the 6th and 7th sweets), then there are 34  2 = 17 students. 6

If Alvin tells the truth on that ‘one day’ that he lied ‘yesterday’, then that ‘one day’ must be Monday. If Alvin tells the lie on that ‘one day’ that he lied ‘yesterday’, then he must be telling the truth ‘yesterday’ and so that ‘one day’ must be Friday.  based on Alvin, it has to be either Monday or Friday. If Carol tells the truth on that ‘one day’ that she lied ‘yesterday’, then that ‘one day’

must be Friday. If Carol tells the lie on that ‘one day’ that she lied ‘yesterday’, then she must be telling the truth ‘yesterday’ and so that ‘one day’ must be Tuesday.  based on Carol, it has to be either Tuesday or Friday. Hence, that ‘one day’, when they both said that they lied ‘yesterday’, has to be Friday.

This means that she gave a total of 82  2 = 80 sweets from the 82 sweets left to the students. Since each student receives only one 5 more sweets (i.e. the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th sweets), then there are 80  5 = 16 students.  there are 16  9 + 2 = 146 sweets.

When Amy, Betty and Cheryl eat out, each orders either beef or chicken. a. If Amy orders beef, Betty orders chicken. b. Either Amy or Cheryl orders beef, but not both. c. Betty and Cheryl do not both order chicken. Who could have ordered beef yesterday and chicken today? Solution If Amy orders beef, Condition a says that Betty orders chicken, and Condition b says that Cheryl also orders chicken, contradicting Condition c.

Beef Chicken

Amy (a)

Betty

Cheryl

(a)

(b)

Thus Amy always orders chicken. Then Condition b says that Cheryl always orders beef. Amy Beef Chicken

Betty

Cheryl (b)



So the only person who can change her order is Betty.  Betty ordered beef yesterday and chicken today. 19.

The percentage passes in an exam for two classes are 80% and 60%. The numbers of students in the two classes are 20 and 30 respectively. Find the overall percentage pass for the two classes. Solution No. of students in the first class who pass the exam = 80%  20 = 16 No. of students in the second class who pass the exam = 60%  30 = 18 Total no. of students in both classes who pass the exam = 16 + 18 = 34  overall percentage pass for the two classes = 34 / 50  100% = 68% Note: Common mistake is 70%. But class size is different: the weaker class will pull down the percentage because it has more students than the better class. So you can’t average percentages unless the base (in this case, the number of students in each class) is the same.

A farmer’s chickens produced 4028 eggs one day. Was he able to pack all the eggs in full cartons of one dozen eggs each? Solution A dozen is equal to 12. If a number is divisible by 12 (= 3  4), then it is also divisible by 3 and 4, since 3 and 4 are relatively prime. Using the divisibility test for 4, 4028 is divisible by 4 since the last two digits 28 is divisible by 4. Using the divisibility test for 3, 4028 is not divisible by 3 since 4 + 0 + 2 + 8 = 14 is not divisible by 3, i.e. 4028 is not divisible by 12.  the farmer was not able to pack all the eggs in full cartons of one dozen eggs.

A farmer wants to find out the number of sheep and ducks that he has. He counted a total of 40 heads and 124 legs. How many sheep and how many ducks does he have? Solution Method 1 (Supposition) Suppose all the animals are ducks. Then there would be 40  2 = 80 legs. So the remaining 124  80 = 44 legs must belong to the “extra 2 legs” of the sheep.  there are 44  2 = 22 sheep and 40  22 = 18 ducks.

From the Before diagram, where Amy had 3 times as much money as Betty, 1 unit = $60 + $60 = $120 4 units = $480  Amy had $480 + $60 = $540 at first. Method 2 (Algebraic Method) Let the amount of money Betty had at first be $x. Then the amount of money Alice had at first was $3x. After they had spent $60 each, Betty had $(x  60) and Alice had $(3x  60). Then $(3x  60) = 4  $(x  60) 3x  60 = 4x  240 x = 180 3x = $540  Amy had $540 at first.

Solution Method 1 The two corner tiles are the same for all figures.  figure number with 6044 tiles = (6044  2)  3 = 2014 Method 2 The tiles in the top row have this pattern: 3, 4, 5, 6, … Thus the nth figure will have (n + 2) + 2  n = 3n + 2 tiles.  figure number with 6044 tiles = (6044  2)  3 = 2014 Method 3 The tiles in each of the vertical column have this pattern: 2, 3, 4, 5, … Thus the nth figure will have (n + 1)  2 + n = 3n + 2 tiles.  figure number with 6044 tiles = (6044  2)  3 = 2014 Method 4 The no. of tiles in each figure is equal to the “area of the rectangle” minus the “area of the hole in the middle”. The pattern for the “area of the rectangle” is 2  3, 3  4, 4  5, 5  6, … The pattern for the “area of the hole in the middle” is 1  1, 2  2, 3  3, 4  4, … Thus the nth figure will have (n + 1)  (n + 2)  n  n = 3n + 2 tiles.  figure number with 6044 tiles = (6044  2)  3 = 2014 18.

What is the least number of cuts required to cut 12 identical sausages so that they can be shared equally among 20 people? Solution Fraction of sausage each person will get =

Solution If I  3, then the sum will be a 3-digit number. So I = 1 or 2. In the ones column, S + S + S + S = 4  S = _I. Since 4  S is even, then I must be even, so I = 2. But 4  S = _2 implies that S = 3 or 8. If S = 8, then 28  4 is a 3-digit number, so S = 3. Thus 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 92, i.e. P = 9.  the two-digit sum PI is 91. 20.

A teacher has a bag of sweets to treat her class. If she gave 6 sweets to each student, then she would have 5 sweets left. If she gave 7 sweets to each student, then she would have 30 sweets short. How many students and how many sweets are there? Solution If the teacher gave 6 sweets to each student, then she would have 5 sweets left. But 5 sweets left are not enough to give one more sweet to each student since she would have 30 sweets short. So if she had 30 more sweets, then she could give 30 + 5 = 35 sweets to the students so that each student has one more sweet, i.e. 6 sweets each. Since each student receives only 1 more sweet (i.e. the 6th sweet), then there are 35 students.  there are 35  6 + 5 = 215 sweets.

A whole number is between 50 and 100. When it is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. When it is divided by 7, the remainder is 5. Find the number. Solution Since the number leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 5, then it must end with 3 or 8, i.e. the possible values of the number are 53, 58, 63, 68, …, 98. Since the number leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 5, we can either check each of the above possible values one by one, or we can start with 7  7 + 5 = 54, and then add 7 until we get a number ending in 3 or 8, i.e. 54, 61, 68, …  the number is 68.

A man travelled at 120 km/h for the first half of a 12-km journey. Then he travelled at 60 km/h for the rest of his journey. What is his average speed for the whole journey? Solution Time taken for first half of the 12-km journey = 6 km / 120 km/h = 0.05 h Time taken for second half of the 12-km journey = 6 km / 60 km/h = 0.1 h  average speed for whole journey = 12 km / 0.15 h = 80 km/h Note: Common mistake is 90 km/h. Since speed = distance / time, if you want to average speeds, then the base (in this case, the time taken) must be the same. But instead the distance travelled for both parts of the journey is the same, so you cannot average speeds.

Amy buys an item for a 20% discount during a sale, but she still needs to pay a 5% GST (Goods and Services Tax). She is given two options. Option A: 20% discount first, then add 5% GST Option B: Add 5% GST first, then 20% discount Which option is cheaper for Amy? Or does it not matter? Solution Option A: 0.8  1.05  Sales Price Option B: 1.05  0.8  Sales Price  both options are the same, so it does not matter. Note: Common mistake is Option A. If you pay 5% GST first (Option B), although this GST is bigger than the GST in Option A, this GST is also discounted 20%, so it ends up the same as if you pay the GST after the discount (Option A).

Since CDE is divisible by 3, then C + D + E = C + 5 + E is also divisible by 3. If BC = 36, then C + 5 + E = 6 + 5 + E = 11 + E is also divisible by 3, i.e. E = 4 or 7, so A = 7 or 4 respectively. If BC = 64, then C + 5 + E = 4 + 5 + E = 9 + E is also divisible by 3, i.e. E = 3, so A = 7.  the possible values of ABCDE are 43657, 73654 and 76453.

So if she had 20 more sweets, then she could give 20 + 13 = 33 sweets to the students so that each student has 3 more sweets, i.e. 8 sweets each. Since each student receives only 3 more sweets (i.e. the 6th, 7th and 8th sweets), then there are 33  3 = 11 students.  there are 11  5 + 13 = 68 sweets.

Susie has 23 coins. She divides them into 5 piles so that each pile has a different number of coins. Find the smallest possible number of coins in the biggest pile. Solution For each pile to have a different number of coins, and the biggest pile to have the smallest possible number of coins, put 1 coin in the 1st pile, 2 coins in the 2nd pile, 3 coins in the 3rd pile, 4 coins in the 4th pile and 5 coins in the 5th pile. So the biggest pile is the 5th pile, but there are only 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 coins. The 16th coin will have to go to the 5th pile so that each pile will have a different number of coins. The 17th coin cannot go to the 5th pile because we want to find the smallest possible number of coins in the biggest pile, so the 17th coin will have to go to the 4th pile. Similarly, the 18th, 19th and 20th coins will go to the 3rd, 2nd and 1st piles respectively. The 21st coin will go to the 5th pile again, the 22nd coin to the 4th pile, and the 23rd coin to the 3rd pile.  the largest pile (which is the 5th pile) will contain 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 coins.

Find the next term of the following sequence: 1, 4, 9, 7, 7, 9, 4, 1, 9, 1, … Solution Observe that the first 3 terms are perfect squares: 12, 22 and 32. But subsequent terms are not perfect squares. However, if you compare the given sequence with perfect squares (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, …), you will observe that the n-th term can be found by squaring n and then adding the digits continuously until a single-digit number is obtained.  the next term, which is the 11th term, is obtained by: 112 = 121  1 + 2 + 1 = 4.

Given that 5! means 5  4  3  2  1, find the last two digits of 2014!. Solution Since 2014! contains the factor 100, and any number multiplied by 100 will have 00 as the last two digits, then the last two digits of 2014! are 00.

There were 210 students in the hall. 2 of the boys and 1 of the girls wore T-shirts. If 5

there were 78 students in the hall who wore T-shirts, how many boys were in the hall? Solution Method 1 (Model Method) The first model shows 2 of the boys and 1 of the girls wearing T-shirts (indicated by 5

3

solid boxes, not the dotted ones). We will call an unshaded box from the boys as Bbox, and a shaded box from the girls as G-box.

Boys

B1

B2

B2 210

Girls

G2

The 2 solid B-boxes and the one solid G-box (i.e. B1 + B1 + G1) represent a total of 78 students. If you take 2 dotted B-boxes and 1 dotted G-box (i.e. B2 + B2 + G2), the 3 dotted boxes also represent a total of 78 students. But you can’t do anything with the remaining 2 dotted boxes. So we double all the boxes as shown in the second model, where the total no. of students is 210  2 = 420.

From the second model, we are able to form 5 groups of 2 B-boxes and 1 G-box (i.e. from B1 and G1 to B5 and G5), leaving behind only one G-box, where each group of 2 B-boxes and 1 G-box represent a total of 78 students. This means that the last G-box represents 420  5  78 = 420  390 = 30 students.  there are 30  3 = 90 girls and 210  90 = 120 boys in the hall. Method 2 (Algebra) Let the no. of boys be x. Then the no. of girls is 210  x. Total no. of students who wore T-shirts = 2 x + 1 (210  x) = 78 5

3

6x + 5(210  x) = 78  15 6x + 1050  5x = 1170 x = 120

 there are 120 boys. 9

A farmer wants to plant 10 trees in 5 rows such that there are exactly 4 trees in each row. Draw a diagram to show how the trees should be planted. Solution If you start with 10 trees and then try fitting 5 lines onto them, you will realise that the lines must overlap because there are not enough trees, and it’s not easy to fit 5 lines onto 10 trees.  try to draw 5 overlapping lines first, and a common figure with 5 overlapping lines is the following star:

Then put in the trees and yes, it works. 25.

Frank knows 5 women: Amy, Betty, Cheryl, Doris and Elaine. a. 3 women are under 30 and the other 2 women are over 30. b. 3 women are nurses and the other 2 women are teachers. c. Amy and Cheryl are in the same age bracket. d. Doris and Elaine are in different age brackets. e. Betty and Elaine have the same occupation. f. Cheryl and Doris have different occupations. g. Of the 5 women, Frank will marry the teacher over 30. Who will Frank marry? Solution Conditions a, c and d  Amy and Cheryl are under 30, and Betty is over 30. Conditions b, e and f  Betty and Elaine are nurses, and Amy is a teacher. 3 women under 30 Amy Cheryl ?

2 women over 30 Betty ?

3 Nurses Betty Elaine ?

2 Teachers Amy ?

So Amy is a teacher under 30. Conditions b and g  the other teacher must be over 30. Condition f  Cheryl or Doris is the other teacher over 30. But Cheryl is under 30, so Doris is the other teacher over 30.  Frank will marry Doris.
