The original price of each 6‑day ski pass is reduced by 15% in a sale. In the sale the price of each 6‑day ski pass is $272
Calculate the original price of each 6‑day ski pass. The price of each 3‑day ski pass is £110 The exchange rate is £1 = $1.70
Calculate how much Andrew will save by buying one 6‑day ski pass in the sale rather than two 3‑day ski passes.
Express 56 as the product of its prime factors. Trains to Watson leave Denby station every 56 minutes. Trains to Barbe leave Denby station every 24 minutes. A train to Watson and a train to Barbe both leave Denby station at 12 00.
Find the next time that a train to Watson and a train to Barbe leave Denby station at the same time.

Vincent plays a game in which he can score 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 each time he plays the game. The score he gets in a game is independent of the score he got in the previous games. The table gives information about the probability of getting each score in a game.
| Score | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.2 | 0.1 |
Vincent plays the game 150 times.
Calculate the number of times he would expect to score 1 Vincent plays the game another two times and records his two scores. He adds these two scores together to get his Total.
Calculate the probability that Vincent’s Total is greater than 6 Given that for these two games Vincent has a Total greater than 6 points …………… , ……………
calculate the probability that he got a score of 4 in the first of these two games.

A rocket is launched from a point which is 5 m above horizontal ground. The rocket moves vertically upwards so that at time t seconds, the height, h metres, of the rocket above the ground is given by h = 5 + 3t + 9t 2 – t 3 At time t seconds, the velocity of the rocket is v m/s and the acceleration of the rocket is a m/s2
