Re: 2012 Year 9 &10 Mathematics Marathon

A mushroom farmer has sent an order of 70 kg of mushrooms to the markets in standard cases. If he had used larger cases, each capable of holding 2 kg more, he would have used 4 fewer cases.

What is the capacity (in kg) of the standard case?

Well if you're in the older years, posting questions you have done in the past would be great! xD

the question is basically asking for the maximum amount of mushrooms you can store in the standard case. you assume that each case is used to this maximum.

Digging up my old year 9/10 maths books

A rectangular lawn, with length x m and width y m in the ratio 8:3, is surrounded on all sides by a path 80cm wide. The outer perimeter of the path is 50.4m. Find the area of the lawn.

Area is

Whoops!
