Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice the number representation; its conversion; and the
arithmetic operations in different base formats. In addition, this assignment will aid you to understand the
process of representing a signed number in different formats; parity bits; representing complements of a
number; and performing BCD arithmetic.
Instructions:
1. This assignment should be done individually.
2. All questions should be answered in black ink only. (Extra sheets can be used)
3. Scan your answer sheet and upload it on LMS before the due date.
Grading Criteria:
• You can also be asked to give a viva where you will be judged whether you understood the
question yourself or not. If you are unable to correctly answer the question you have attempted
right, you may lose your marks.
• Zero will be given if the assignment is found to be plagiarized.
• Untidy work will result in a reduction of your points.
Late submission penalty:
• 1-day late submission – 20% deduction of the maximum allowable marks
• 2-days late submission – 40% deduction of the maximum allowable marks
• No submission will be accepted after two days of the original deadline

4 You’re part of the team of the biggest snacks competitor in the market. They intend 4+2+2
to launch a never seen before snack to give to the world and dominate the other
companies. Unfortunately, the secret formula of your snack was leaked, and now
your only hope to have a competitive advantage is to set the product at the perfect
price. In order to ensure your price is not leaked, you decide to encode it to
communicate to your team. You are required to use all these characters and no other
to send your message:
% $ # @ !
a) Create a suitable number system and fill in the following table up to 11.
State your assumptions clearly.
Actual 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 …
Coded …
b) Represent the price 41910 in your coded notation so you can send it to your
team
c) You receive a counter price “%###” in your number system from your team,
what does this represent in decimal?
5 You are trying to do your math homework and ask your friend from another planet 6
for help. They send you this back to try and help you out.
(33 + 51) × 70 = 6510
If your friend has given you a correct equation, what number system does their
planet use? (Hint: Find out the base of the system)
6 Convert the decimal number 689 into binary the following two ways: 4
• Convert directly to binary
• Convert first to hexadecimal and then from hexadecimal to binary.
Which method is faster? Justify your answer with reasoning.
(Requirement: You must show the working of both the parts and then give your
reasoning based on time and method used. Marks will only be awarded if you can
justify your answer).
7 You are creating a new currency that works using the base-18 number system (by 1+4+5
extending the 16-base system) for your new country. Your friend decides to open
up the first shop in your new country. They decide to sell fancy burgers for (F2F)18
that cost (ABC)18 to make.
a) Write down the first 20 numbers in the new system.
b) Your friend gets an order to make (AA)18 burgers. They do not yet have a
calculator. Help them determine how much they should charge the
customer.
c) If they sell (F)18 burgers, how much profit did they make in total? How
much profit per burger?
8 Convert the last three alphabets of your first name and the first three alphabets of 2x2+4
your last name to hexadecimal system, according to the given table.
