Step 1 Calculate the time taken for each of the coach journeys that serves breakfast. Departures: 06:30 and 08:00 take 3 hrs 15 mins; 09:10 and 09:30 departures take 3 hours 20 mins; 10:00 departure takes 3 hours 15 mins Step 2 Calculate the total cost for two return tickets 10:00 departure; 2 x 85 Thus the correct answer is, 170

Solutions

Step 1 Work backwards from the taxi journey Agent must leave Manchesters coach/train station by coach/train Step 2 Which coach/train travel option(s) arrives before 12:25/12:35 respectively? The 09:10 and 09:30 coach departures both arrive too late The 09:20 train departure arrives in time at 11:50 and is cheaper than the 9.00 train Thus the correct answer is, 09:20 train departure

Step 1 Calculate the Time taken for the 2 train journeys between London and Manchester 07:50 train: 2 hours 15 mins 10:30 train: 2 hours 25 mins = = 2.250 hours 2.417 hours

Step 2 put gures into the formula: Average speed = Distance / Time taken Average speed = 164 miles / Time taken = miles per hour 07:50 train: 164 miles / 2.250 10:30 train: 164 miles / 2.417 Difference between the two = = = 72.9 mph 67.9 mph 72.9 - 67.9 = 5mph

Thus the correct answer is, 5 mph

Step 1 Calculate the journey times for the train departures with wireless (marked with a w in the timetable) 07:50: 2 hours 15 mins 09:00: 2 hours 25 mins 10:05: 2 hours 40 mins Step 2 - Calculate the journey times for the coach departures that arrive in Manchester before 13:00 06:30: 3 hours 15 mins 08:00: 3 hours 15 mins 09:10: 3 hours 20 mins 09:30: 3 hours 20 mins Step 3 Single ticket on 07:50 train = 65.00 Thus the correct answer is, 65.00

Step 1 Calculate the saving on the monthly fee (6 - 5.49) x 12 = 6.12

Step 2 Calculate the saving on the mobile calls (same network) (0.26 - 0.25) x 12 x 50 = 6.00

Step 3 - Calculate the saving on the mobile calls (other networks) (0.32 - 0.30) x 12 x 50 = 12.00

Step 4 Calculate the saving on the annual fee 59.49 54.99 = 4.50

Step 5 Sum Step 1 to Step 3 Thus the correct answer is (E), 28.62

Step 1 Sum the Gem Plans allocation for 5 months 250 mins x 5 200 texts x 5 = = 1,250 mins 1,000 texts

Step 2 Sum the Royale Plans allocation for 4 months 300 mins x 4 150 texts x 4 = = 1,200 mins 600 texts

Step 3 Sum Steps 1 and 2 1,250 mins + 1,200 mins 1000 texts + 600 texts = = 2,450 mins 1,600 texts

Thus the correct answer is (E), 2,450 mins; 1,600 texts

Step 1 Calculate the number of monthly hours (outside allocation) 52 x 60 = 3,120 mins

Step 2 Subtract the free monthly minutes 3,120 mins 300 mins = 2,820 mins chargeable

Step 3 Multiply by 3 (months) 2,820 mins x 3 = 8,460 mins

Step 4 Calculate excess charge per call 30p 24p = 6p

Step 5 - Multiply by 6p excess per call rate 8,460 mins x 6p = 507.60 = 510 (to the nearest 10) Thus the correct answer is (E), 510
