Habs 2011 maths paper

[Okanagan]

He must be a maths genius. Had to really think hard for couple of the questions after all this time.

Sadly his English is about as bad as his maths is good

Hampstead to Habs = 10
Habs to Southgate = 9
Southgate to Harpe = 18
Haprenden to habs = 13
Habs to Hampstead = 10

so 10 + 9 + 18 + 13 + 10 = 60 miles

Hope this helps

So if she save US$60 how many pounds is this?

[Mittleme]

ok if she saves $60 thats £40 savings.

but the question says how much does the hoodie cost in New Zealand

i did a conversion of £80 which is the price in british pound to new zealand NZ thats how i arrived at NZ160.



why is NZ160 not the answer.still confused.

It is poorly worded - ignore what I said - how much does it cost in the US - US$90 - yes?

So if she saves US$60 what is the price in US dollars she would pay at home?

[Mittleme]

i dont think i get this question. it should not be that hard.

could you please explain the answer . i dont know anymore.

[Guest55]

Well I read it as it costs the equivalent of US$90 + US$60 ie US$150 in NZ

This is £100 which is NZ$200 ...
