Q1 · A Spanish family went to Scotland for a holiday
1 A Spanish family went to Scotland for a holiday. (a) The family bought 800 pounds (£) at a rate of £1 = 1.52 euros (€). How much did this cost in euros? [1] (b) The family returned home with £118 and changed this back into euros. They received €173.46. Calculate how many euros they received for each pound. [1] (c) A toy which costs €11.50 in Spain costs only €9.75 in Scotland. Calculate, as a percentage of the cost in Spain, how much less it costs in Scotland. [2] (d) The total cost of the holiday was €4347.00. In the family there were 2 adults and 3 children. The cost for one adult was double the cost for one child. Calculate the cost for one child. [2] (e) The original cost of the holiday was reduced by 10% to €4347.00. Calculate the original cost. [2] (f) The plane took 3 hours 15 minutes to return to Spain. The length of this journey was 2350 km. Calculate the average speed of the plane in (i) kilometres per hour, [2] (ii) metres per second. [1]
