Question 1
(a) i. 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑇 − 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶10.00
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶25.00
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑖𝑡 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶60.00
Total amount spent = 𝐺𝐻𝐶 10.00 + 𝐺𝐻𝐶25.00 + 𝐺𝐻𝐶60.00 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶95.00 M0.5
Amount given = 2 × 𝐺𝐻𝐶50.00 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶100.00 A1
Amount left = 𝐺𝐻𝐶100.00 − 𝐺𝐻𝐶 95.00 = 𝐺𝐻𝐶5.00 A1
Therefore, Mr. Paul got 𝐺𝐻𝐶5.00

(a) . Find the values of the angle marked 𝒒, 𝒇 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝒆
To find 𝒒,
135°𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑞 + 45° are vertically opposite angles.
135° = 𝑞 + 45° M0.5
135° − 45° = 𝑞
𝑞 = 90° A1
To find e
Angle 𝑞, 𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 45° are supplementary angles. M0.5
𝑞 + 45° + 𝑒 = 180
But 𝑞 = 90°
90° + 45° + 𝑒 = 180° M0.5
135° + 𝑒 = 180° M0.5
𝑒 = 180° − 135°
𝑒 = 45° A1
