QUESTION FORTY-TWO (4 marks) Marks
A meal delivery business makes and sells dinner packages. The cost $C to make N dinner packages is 4
modelled by the equation
C = 1200 + 5N .
Technology was used to draw the straight-line graph to represent the cost of making each dinner package.
The x-axis displays the number of packages and the y-axis displays the cost/revenue in dollars.
($) Cost and Revenue
4000
3000
2000
1000
Number of dinner packages (N )

100 200 300 400 500 600
It is known that the company breaks even at 400 dinner packages. Using the graph, form an
equation for revenue to determine how many dinner packages need to be sold to make a profit of
$1500.

The plane departs Sydney at 6:45 pm (Singapore time) and takes 8.5 hours
So the plane lands in Singapore at 3:15 am on Saturday (Singapore time)

Question 41
Criteria Marks
• Determines the correct saving 3
• Correctly calculates the total repayment for either loans 2
• Correctly calculates the monthly repayment for either loans 1
Sample Answer:
3
% = 0.25% per month and 15 years = 180 months and 20 years = 240 months
12
For the 15-year loan at 3% per annum, monthly repayments per $1000 is $6.91.
Monthly repayment = $6.91 × 320

= $2211.20
Total Repayment = 2211.2 × 180
= $398 016
For the 20-year loan at 3% per annum, monthly repayments per $1000 is $5.55.
Monthly repayment = $5.55 × 320

= $1776
Total Repayment = 1776 × 240
= $426 240
Saving = 426240 − 398016

= $28224
Question 42
Criteria Marks
• Provides correct solution 4
• Makes significant progress to the solution 3
• Recognises Profit = Revenue − Cost, to form an equation to solve 2
• Correctly finds a formula for revenue, R 1
Sample Answer:
Break-even point is at (400, 3200)

3200
The gradient of the line for revenue is =8
400
So the equation to model the revenue is 𝑅𝑅 = 8𝑁𝑁
Profit = Revenue – Cost
Profit = 8𝑁𝑁 − (1200 + 5𝑁𝑁)

1500 = 3𝑁𝑁 − 1200
3𝑁𝑁 = 2700
𝑁𝑁 = 900 pacakges
Question 43
Criteria Marks
• Provides correct bearing of 𝐵𝐵 from 𝐵𝐵 (B to C) 5
• Correctly applies sine rule to find ∠𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵, or equivalent merit 4
• Correctly calculates the length of 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵, or equivalent merit 3
• Correctly applies the cosine rule to find 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 2
• Correctly calculates ∠𝐵𝐵𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐵 1
Sample Answer:
∠𝐵𝐵𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐵 = 217 − 130

= 87°
Using the cosine rule to find length of 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 2 = 92 + 152 − 2 × 9 × 15 × cos 87°

𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 = √92 + 152 − 2 × 9 × 15 × cos 87°
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 ≈ 17.084 …
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 = 17.084 (correct to three decimal places
Let ∠𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 = 𝜃𝜃
sin 𝜃𝜃 sin 87
=
15 17.084
15 × sin 87
sin 𝜃𝜃 =
17.084
15 × sin 87
𝜃𝜃 = sin−1 � �
17.084
𝜃𝜃 ≈ 61.26°
∴ bearing of C from B is 61 + 37 = 98°
