If altogether they have scored 35 goals, how many goals did they each score?
5. | GCSE Higher |
Julie is on holiday and buys some fruit from the local market.
She buys \(x\) mangos, \((x+4)\) guavas and \((3x-5)\) bananas.
The total number of pieces of fruit Julie buys is 29.
(a) Find the number of mangos Julie buys.
(b) The cost of one mango is 35 baht.
The cost of one guava is 18 baht.
If the total cost of all the fruit is 455 baht, find the cost, in baht, of one banana.
(c) What is the equivalent cost of the fruit Julie has bought in British pounds if the exchange rate with Thai baht is currently:
£1 = 46 baht.
6. | GCSE Higher |
Solve the following linear equation to find the value of \(x\).

The trapezium and rectangle shown here have the same perimeters. The diagrams are not drawn to scale and the measurements are in centimetres. Calculate the area of the trapezium.
8. | GCSE Higher |
Two rectangles, not drawn to scale, are shown below. All measurements are in centimetres. Both rectangles have the same areas. Work out the perimeter of the rectangle on the left.
9. | GCSE Higher |
(a) Solve.
$$\frac{4w}{5} - 2 = 5\frac{1}{5}$$
(b) $$\frac{4(3^{-y})}{5} - 2 = 5\frac{1}{5}$$
Find the value of \( y \).
