Section A [40 marks]
Answer all questions in this section.
1. The price of a ticket to a dance is made up of two parts, one of which is fixed and the
other of which varies inversely as the number of people expected at the dance. For a
certain dance, it was found that the price of a ticket would need to be $3 if 100 people
were to attend, but if 150 people attended the price of a ticket would need to be $2,50
in order to cover the cost.
a) Find the price of a ticket in order to cover the cost if only 75 people attended. [5]
b) If the price of a ticket was fixed at $2.70, how many people would have to buy
tickets for the cost to be covered. [2]
2. Patrick is going to walk his dog on a path in his local park. The path runs due north.
When he is at the start of the path he sees an oak tree on a bearing of 040°. Patrich walks
200 m due north along the path. The bearing of the oak tree is now 070°.
a) Find, to the nearest metre, the shortest distance of the oak from the path. [4]
Patrick walks a further 200 m due north along the path.
b) Find the distance Patrick now is from the oak tree. [2]
