Q1 · Mohsin has 600 pear trees and 720 apple trees on his farm

1 (a) Mohsin has 600 pear trees and 720 apple trees on his farm. (i) Write the ratio pear trees : apple trees in its simplest form. ........................ : ........................ [1] (ii) Each apple tree produces 16 boxes of apples each year. One box contains 18 kg of apples. Calculate the total mass of apples produced by the 720 trees in one year. Give your answer in standard form. ............................................... kg [3] (b) (i) One week, the total mass of pears picked was 18 540 kg. For this week, the ratio mass of apples : mass of pears = 13 : 9. Find the mass of apples picked that week. ............................................... kg [2] (ii) The apples cost Mohsin $0.85 per kilogram to produce. He sells them at a profit of 60%. Work out the selling price per kilogram of the apples. $ ................................................... [2] (c) Mohsin exports some of his pears to a shop in Belgium. The shop buys the pears at $1.50 per kilogram. The shop sells the pears for 2.30 euros per kilogram. The exchange rate is $1 = 0.92 euros. Calculate the percentage profit per kilogram made by the shop. ................................................ % [5] (d) Mohsin’s earnings increase exponentially at a rate of 8.7% each year. During 2018 he earned $195 600. During 2027, how much more does he earn than during 2018? $ ................................................... [3]
