Question 1 — Easy
Zac is saving money to buy a new surfboard. He earns the same amount each week doing odd jobs. After 9 weeks he has saved $306. He then spends $54 on a wetsuit. Which equation can be used to find n, the amount Zac had left after buying the wetsuit, and what is the value of n?
Answer: Zac has already saved the full $306 over 9 weeks. The question asks how much he has left after spending $54, so n = 306 − 54 = 252. The 9-week detail is context — it is not needed to solve for n. Option A incorrectly subtracts the wetsuit cost first, then divides by 9, as if asking "how much per week would remain" — that is not what the question asks. Option C divides the wetsuit cost by 9 before subtracting, misapplying the division to the wrong value. Option D divides total savings by 9 and then adds the wetsuit cost rather than subtracting, applying the wrong operation.
Question 2 — Medium
A rainwater tank in regional Queensland collected 680 litres in January and 445 litres in February. In March, it collected 25% more than it did in January. How many litres were collected in March?
Answer: 25% of 680 = 170 litres. 680 + 170 = 850 litres collected in March.
Question 3 — Hard
Anika is packing gift boxes for a school fundraiser. She has 216 chocolate coins to pack equally into boxes, and each box must hold the same number of coins. If the total number of coins is equivalent to 9 multiplied by an unknown number of coins per box, and each box is then placed into a crate that holds 4 boxes, how many chocolate coins does each crate contain? Find the value of the unknown coins per box first, then calculate the total per crate.
Answer: First, find the unknown: 9 × n = 216, so n = 216 ÷ 9 = 24 coins per box. Each crate holds 4 boxes, so the total per crate is 24 × 4 = 96 chocolate coins. Option B (108) results from dividing 216 by 2 instead of 9. Option C (24) is the coins per box — the student stops after the first step. Option D (54) results from dividing 216 by 4, skipping the division by 9 entirely.
