  1. A school's attendance target is 96%. If there are 185 school days, how many days must a pupil attend to meet the target?

    Answer: 177.6 days (178 days)

    96% of 185 = 0.96 × 185 = 177.6, which rounds to 178 days. Pupils must attend at least 178 days.

  2. Arrange these fractions in ascending order: 3/4, 2/3, 5/6, 7/12

    Answer: 7/12, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6

    Converting to twelfths: 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12 — so the order is 7/12, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6.

  3. What is the range of these scores: 45, 62, 38, 71, 55?

    Answer: 33

    Range = highest − lowest = 71 − 38 = 33.

  4. A teacher buys resources costing £84 excluding VAT. VAT is 20%. What is the total cost?

    Answer: £100.80

    VAT = 20% of £84 = £16.80. Total = £84 + £16.80 = £100.80.

  5. If a pupil scores 63 out of 90 on a test, what is their percentage score?

    Answer: 70%

    63 ÷ 90 = 0.7 = 70%. Alternatively, simplify 63/90 to 7/10 = 70%.

  6. What is 2/5 + 3/4?

    Answer: 23/20

    Common denominator is 20: 2/5 = 8/20, 3/4 = 15/20. Sum = 23/20 = 1 3/20.
