Multiplier is obtained by adding (or subtracting) the percentage change value when there is an increase (or decrease) to (from) 100% and then changed into a decimal number.  \n􀝊 is the number of days/hours/years  \nExpressing one quantity as a percentage of another  \nTo express one quantity (A) as a percentage of another (B), A should be divided by B and multiplied by 100, i.e. 􀮺􀮻 × 100.  \nPercentage change (increase or decrease)  \nTo calculate a percentage change (increase or decrease) as a percentage, the following formula can be used: new~~ ~~numbeorigir−naolriginnumablenumberr × 100.  \nIf the answer is negative then this is a percentage decrease, if positive then it is an increase.  \nRatio  \nA ratio compares the amount of two items 􀜽 and 􀜾 and is written in the form 􀜽: 􀜾 .  \nGuidance for Answering the Questions  \nQuestion 1  \nThe number of new members needs to be added for each month: February: 20 + 20 + 17 + 15 + 12 = 84  \nMarch: 22 + 19 + 17 + 14 + 11 = 83  \nApril: 19 + 18 + 16 + 15 + 14 = 82  \nMay: 21 + 18 + 17 + 15 + 11 = 82  \nJune: 20 + 18 + 16 + 14 + 13 = 81  \nFebruary has the greatest number (84) of new members obtained.  \nThe answer is A (84) .  \nQuestion 2  \nIf needed, please refer to the formula on expressing one quantity as a percentage of another on page 2.  \nThe number of Super new members is 18.  \nThe total number of new members in April is 82.  \nThe percentage of new members in April that registered at Super is: 1882 × 100 = 21. ̇9512 ̇1%, this rounded to the nearest whole number is 22% .  \nThe answer is E (22%) .  \nQuestion 3  \nIf needed, please refer to the formula on how to calculate the average of numbers on page 2. Over 5 months there were 12 + 11 + 15 + 11 + 16 = 65 new members.  \nThe average number of Deluxe new members over the 5 month period is: 655 = 13.  \nThe answer is C (13) .  \nQuestion 4  \nIf needed, please refer to the definition of ratio on page 2.  \nThe number of Super new members in May is 21.  \nThe number of Off Peak new members in May is 15.  \nThe ratio of Super new members to Off Peak new members is 21: 15 which can be simplified to 7: 5 by dividing both numbers by 3.  \nThe answer is E (7: 5) .  \nQuestion 5  \nIf needed, please refer to the definition and formula on how to calculate the percentage increase on page 2.  \nThe number of Standard new members in February is 20.  \nThe number of Standard new members in March is 22.  \nThere is a 22−2020 × 100 = 10% percentage increase in Standard new members between February and March.  \nThe answer is C (10%) .  \nQuestion 6  \nThe contribution value is calculated by multiplying the number of shares by the price per share. This is done for each company taking the price per share at 1st Jan:  \nMedia: 8, 000 × 250􀝌 = £20, 000  \nInsurance: 6, 500 × 350􀝌 = £22, 750  \nRetail: 9, 000 ","cbCaifiPMCXsas64","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifiPMCXsas64","pdf",1100243,14,"English","# Mark Scheme\n# Definitions and Formulae\n## Average (Mean)\n## (Compound) growth/decay\n## Expressing one quantity as a percentage\n## Percentage change (increase or decrease)\n## Ratio\n# Guidance for Answering the Questions\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4\n## Question 5\n## Question 6\n## Question 7\n## Question 8\n## Question 9\n## Question 10","[{\"question\":\"What does the mark scheme specify for this Numeracy Reasoning Test 1 answers document?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a 1 mark system for every correct answer.\"},{\"question\":\"Which formulas are included in the definitions section?\",\"answer\":\"The document includes formulas for average (mean), compound growth/decay, converting one quantity to a percentage, percentage change, and ratio representation.\"},{\"question\":\"How are answers guided for specific questions?\",\"answer\":\"For selected questions, it provides step-by-step calculations such as summing monthly values, converting values to percentages, and simplifying ratios before matching to the listed correct option.\"}]","Numeracy Reasoning Practice Test 1-Answers | PDF",1790967699,35]
