5. (a) Selling price = $9300 × (1 – 35%) 1M

= $6045 1A
(b) Let $x be the cost of the mobile phone.
x(1 + 50%) = 9300 1M
x = 6200
∵ Cost = $6200 > $6045
∴ There will be a loss after selling the mobile phone. 1A f.t.

11. (a) Let p(x) = (ax + b)(2x2 + 8x – 5), where a and b are constants. 1M
By the remainder theorem,

a + b = –1 …… (1) 1M
p(–2) = 91 either one
[a(–2) + b][2(–2) + 8(–2) – 5] = 91

BAE + 90 + AEB = 180
BAE = 90 – AEB
CED + AED + AEB = 180 adj. s on st. line
CED + 90 + AEB = 180
CED = 90 – AEB
