1 The table below shows the household utilities usage and bills of four neighbours Anne,
Beth, Cathy and Denise for a particular month. The unit charge for electricity, gas and
water are $x, $y and $z respectively. Unfortunately, the record for gas usage on
Denise’s bill was smudged and could not be read.
Anne Beth Cathy Denise
Electricity (kWh) 1521 1806 1089 1616
Gas (kWh) 103 68 97
Water (m3) 35.6 41.1 33.0 38.2
Total amount ($) 459.81 533.16 343.11 481.83

Find the amount of gas used by Denise’s household in that month. [4]

6 A grain storage facility holds 10 000 bushels of grain at the end of December 2013.
An insurance policy provides a pay-out to the facility based on the amount of grain
held by the facility. This pay-out is then used to purchase more grain for the facility,
adding 2% of grain before the end of every month.

(a) Calculate the amount of grain in the facility at the end of December 2014. [1]

(b) Starting in January 2014, the grain storage facility has a one-year partnership
with an agricultural research laboratory, supplying x bushels of grain in each
month to the laboratory for research. The grain is supplied to the laboratory
before the addition of 2% of grain to the facility due to the insurance pay-out.

(i) If x  100 , show that the amount of grain in the facility at the end of
March 2014 is 10 299.9 bushels, correct to 1 decimal place. [2]
