4. The price of petrol in January was y dollars per litre and Mr Tan paid $72 to fill up his car with
petrol. He could cover a distance of 500 km with this amount of petrol. In August, the price of petrol
increased by 20 cents. Mr Tan noticed that he was getting 2 litres of petrol less after paying $76.
(a) Write down an expression, in terms of y, for the amount of petrol he received in January. [1]
(b) Write down an expression, in terms of y, for the amount of petrol he received in August. [1]
(d) Solve this equation and find the price of petrol in January. [2]
(e) Calculate the distance travelled per litre of petrol for Mr Tan’s car. [2]

7. In 2005, Shirley bought an apartment that costs $ 560 145 and she paid a 20% cash deposit.
Give all your answers, correct to the nearest dollar for the following questions.
(i) Shirley used her Central Provident Fund (CPF) Ordinary Account to pay 10% of the 20%
deposit. Calculate the amount used from this account. [2]
Shirley intended to pay the remaining 80% of the purchase price through a bank loan. She was
3
offered loan packages from Bank C and Bank U. The table below shows the interest rates over
5 years.
1st year 2nd year 3rd year 4th year 5th year
Bank C 2.50% * 2.75% 2.75% 3.75% 3.75%
Bank U 1.40% 2.40% 2.80% 4.00% 4.00%
(ii) Bank C offered a cash rebate of 1.25% of the loan amount to the customer in the first year.
Calculate the interest that Shirley would have to pay Bank C, taking into account the cash
rebate, at the end of the first year. Hence, calculate the total interest she would have to pay
Bank C over three years. [3]
(iii) Given that Bank U’s package reduces the loan amount by the previous year’s interest amount
after each year, calculate the total interest she would have to pay at the end of the 3rd year.[4]
(iv) Since the beginning of 2008, Shirley has been paying monthly instalments of $1,900 for her
apartment using her savings from the CPF Ordinary Account. The interest she would have
earned had her savings remained in her CPF account for the whole year is $570. Calculate the
annual interest rate paid by the CPF Board. [2]

9 (a) Two pieces of jelly, one cylindrical and the other hemispherical are shown in Figures 1 and 2
respectively. Each piece of jelly is cut into four equal parts. Given that the height of the cylindrical
jelly is 3 cm and the diameters of the two jellies are both 10 cm, calculate the
(i) volume and surface area of one quarter of the cylindrical jelly. [4]
(ii) volume and surface area of one quarter of the hemispherical jelly. [3]
