  1. A pupil's average score across 4 tests is 74. After a 5th test, the average drops to 70. What did the pupil score on the 5th test?

    Answer: 54

    Total after 4 tests = 4 × 74 = 296. Total after 5 tests = 5 × 70 = 350. 5th score = 350 − 296 = 54.

  2. What is 0.6 × 0.4?

    Answer: 0.24

    0.6 × 0.4 = 0.24. Think of it as 6 × 4 = 24, then adjust the decimal by two places.

  3. A class fundraiser raises £156. This is 130% of the target. What was the original target?

    Answer: £120

    £156 ÷ 1.30 = £120. The original target was £120.

  4. What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with sides of 8.4 cm?

    Answer: 25.2 cm

    An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. Perimeter = 3 × 8.4 = 25.2 cm.

  5. A data set has values: 5, 9, 9, 12, 15, 9, 7. What is the mode?

    Answer: 9

    The mode is the value that appears most frequently. 9 appears three times, more than any other value.

  6. Express 72 as a product of its prime factors.

    Answer: 2³ × 3²

    72 = 8 × 9 = 2³ × 3². The prime factorisation of 72 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2³ × 3².
