Grade 9 Mathematics Graded Assignment

Detailed Worked Solutions

Question 1
a) Total monthly expense = ₹2400 + ₹600 + ₹800 = ₹3800.
Since her budget is ₹3500, she exceeds it by ₹300.

b) To reduce the least percentage, compare:


Activity:300/2400×100=12.5%
Books:300/600×100=50%
Travel:300/800×100=37.5%
Hence activity classes should be reduced because it requires the smallest percentage reduction.

c) After reducing ₹300 from activity classes, her expenses become ₹3500, exactly equal to her
budget. Remaining savings each month = ₹0. Therefore, Simple Interest = PRT/100 = 0×5×1/100
= ₹0. Hence no interest is earned in one year.

Question 2
Area of trapezium = ½(a+b)h = ½(12+20)×15 = 240 m².
75% of area = 180 m².
Cost of wooden flooring =180×120=₹21,600.
Remaining area =60 m².
Carpet cost =60×80=₹4,800.
Synthetic mat cost =60×65+500=₹4,400.
Since ₹4,400<₹4,800, the synthetic mat is cheaper by ₹400.

Question 3
Students walking =100−20−30−25=25.
Pie chart angles:
Car=72°, Bus=108°, Bicycle=90°, Walk=90°.
CO₂ emissions:
Cars=20×5×120=12,000 g.
Buses=30×5×40=6,000 g.
Bicycle and walking=0 g.
Total=18,000 g.
If 10 car users shift to bicycles:
Cars=10×5×120=6,000 g.
Buses remain=6,000 g.
New total=12,000 g.
Reduction=6,000 g.
Percentage reduction=(6000/18000)×100=33.33%.
This shows that even a small change in travel habits greatly reduces pollution because cars
produce much higher emissions than bicycles.

Question 4
Compound Amount=A=P(1+r/100)^n=2000(1.1)^2=₹2,420.
Simple Interest=2000×10×2/100=₹400.
Simple amount=₹2,400.
Difference=₹20.
Compound growth is greater because interest is calculated on both the original amount and
previously earned interest. Therefore consumers pay more when prices rise at a compound rate.

Question 5
Electricity consumption:
Laptops=20×60×2=2400 Wh.
Tablets=15×30×2=900 Wh.
Desktops=15×120×2=3600 Wh.
Total=6900 Wh.
If desktop users switch to laptops:
15×60×2=1800 Wh.
New total=2400+900+1800=5100 Wh.
Reduction=1800 Wh.
Percentage reduction=(1800/6900)×100≈26.09%.
Reducing electricity consumption lowers the demand for power generation, which helps
decrease carbon emissions and contributes to reducing global warming.
