QUESTION 1
(a)
= 12√5 − 4(√5) M1 for solving
= 12√5 − 4(5) M0.5 for simplifying
= 12√5 − 20
But √5 = 10
= 12(10) − 20 M 0.5 for substituting
= 120 − 20 M1 for solving
= 100 A1 for
(b)
Price of a jacket = GH₵560.65
Price of a shirt = × Price of a jacket
To find the price of a shirt:
Price of a shirt = = × GH₵560.65
= GH₵186.88 (rounded to two decimal places) M0.5A1
Now, Mr. Mensa bought:
2 jackets and 4 shirts.
The total cost of the jackets:
2 jackets × Price of one jacket = 2 × GH₵560.65 M0.5A1
= GH₵1121.30
The total cost of the shirts:
4 shirts × Price of one shirt = 4 × GH₵186.88 M0.5A1
= GH₵747.52
The total amount Mr. Mensa paid for the items:
Total = Cost of jackets + Cost of shirts
Total = GH₵1121.30 + GH₵747.52 (to two decimal places) M1
( ). GH₵1868.82 A1
( ). GH₵187 A1

QUESTION 3
(a) Find the value of if (1.23 + 125) + 23 = + (125 + 23).
= (1.23 + 125) + 23 = + (125 + 23). M1 for solving
= (1.23 + 125) + 23 = ( + 125) + 23 M2 for solving
Grouping like terms
= 1.23 =
= = 1.23 A2 for = .
(b)
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 + 2
= 2 2√2 + 2 3√3 M1 for solving
= 4√2 + 6√3 A2

QUESTION 4
(a)
Total number of pupils who like mathematics:
of 240 pupils like mathematics.
× 240 = 168 pupils like mathematics. M1 A1
Half of those pupils who like mathematics are girls:
Half of the 168 pupils who like mathematics are girls.
×168=84 pupils who like mathematics are girls. M1 A1
So, there are 84 girls who like mathematics among the 240 pupils in the school.

QUESTION 5
(a) Find the product of (2 − 3) (2 + 3 ).
= (2 − 3)(2 + 3)
= 2 (2 + 3) − 3(2 + 3) M2 for expanding
=4 +6 −6 −9 M1 for at least 3 terms
=4 −9 A2 for −
(b)
Let's denote the total amount of money the boy had as 'M'.
According to the information, the boy spent of his money, which means he has of his
money left (since spent means 1 - = remaining). B1
If of his money is equal to GHC15.00, we can set up an equation to find the total amount
'M':
= × M=GHC15.00 B2
To find 'M', we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of , which is :
M= × GHC15.00 B1
= 24 B2
Therefore, the boy initially had GHC24.00.
