Calculate the value of g when f = 0.33 and l = 2.3, giving your answer correct to two
decimal places.
Express l in terms of f, g and .

Miranda and her friends paid $168 for x concert tickets for a weekend show. The weekday
show ticket is cheaper than the weekend show ticket by $2.
(a)

(b)

Write down an expression in terms of x for

(i) the cost of a concert ticket for a weekend show,
(ii) the cost of a concert ticket for a weekday show.

[1]

If they had watched the weekday show instead of the weekend show, they could have
bought 7 more tickets with the same amount of money, $168. Write down an equation
which x must satisfy, and show that it reduces to
