The following table shows sales of three separate magazines. There are two versions, the normal version which is 300 pages, and the deluxe edition which is 400 pages. The normal edition costs £8.99 whereas the deluxe edition costs £13.99
| Book | Magazine 1 | Magazine 2 | Magazine 3 |
| Normal | 36 | 41 | 61 |
| Deluxe Edition (+100 pages) | 29 | 25 | 27 |
Explanation
Normal Edition
61 x 8.99 = £548.39 (Could estimate by doing 60 x 10 = £600)
Deluxe Edition
27 x 13.99 = £377.73 (Could estimate by doing 30 x 14 = £420)
Deluxe: 29 + 25 + 27 = 81
Normal: 36 + 41 + 61 = 138
Magazine 1 36 + 29 = 65
Magazine 2 41 + 25 = 66
| Months | Employee A Sales | Employee B Sales |
| May | 100 | 75 |
| June | 120 | 105 |
| July | 75 | 105 |
| August | 150 | 130 |
| September | 55 | 100 |
The table shows sales from Company X last year in terms of items sold.
Summer months are June to August.
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is no. Whilst the Employee had higher sales, this does not translate to more profit.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is no. We do not have data to describe sales across the whole year.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is yes. In June, July, and August, the total sales for Employee A is 345 whereas for Employee B they are 340.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. Across the period, Employee A sold 500 and Employee B sold 515 and so they didn’t sell the same number.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is yes. Across the period, Employee A sold 500 and Employee B sold 515 and so they sold 1015 in total.

where are the statements
shannon Medicmind Tutor Fri, 05 Mar 2021 01:31:10
still no statements
| Ticket Type | Early bird | Standard | On the Door |
| Adult | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| Child | 7.50 | 8 | 10 |
| Student | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Senior | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Family | 40 | 50 | 60 |
- All prices in £.
- An adult is 18+
- Students must present a valid ID or pay an adult on the door price.
- A senior is 65+
- A family is 2 adults and 2 children.
- Early Bird Tickets are available until 30 days before the event.
- Standard tickets are available until the day before the event.
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is yes. They would be purchasing standard tickets. 20 x 2 + 8 x 2 = 56 which is £6 more than the £50 paid for a standard family ticket.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is no. They both pay £20.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is no. For both Standard and On The Door tickets the cost of child tickets is less than half that of an adult.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. There is more than one possibility for reaching £24 such as two seniors purchasing early bird tickets.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is yes. Initially the student would have paid £12. They then would have had to purchase an adult on the door ticket for £25, paying £37 in total.

It's the case for most oF these
| Months | Points | Points Conceded |
| January | 50 | 75 |
| March | 25 | 100 |
| May | 75 | 75 |
| July | 150 | 125 |
| September | 100 | 100 |
The table shows points scored and conceded in a fantasy football competition in various months.
By the end of March, the team had scored 150 points.
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is no. They scored 400 points and conceded 475.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is yes. They conceded 75 in January and scored 75 in May.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is yes. They conceded 75 in January and scored 75 in May.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. The highest scoring month shown is July but we do not know about the other months.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is no. They scored 100 in September which is the same as 25 + 75 (the scores in March and May combined).
A company produces two cars – Model X and Model T. One Model T takes 50 hours to complete. One Model X takes 20 hours to make. The table shows some combinations which utilise the maximum available hours of labour.. Time is the only limiting factor.
| Model T | Model X |
| 1000 | 0 |
| 500 | 1250 |
| 200 | 2000 |
| 100 | 2250 |
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is no. The maximum number of hours is 50,000 (50 x 1000). 50000/20 = 250.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is yes. The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 2100 x 20 + 160 x 50 = 50,000.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is yes. The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 2000 x 20 + 150 x 50 = 47,500. This leaves 2500 hours spare.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 750 x 50 = 37500, 50000-37500 = 12500. 12500/20 = 625 so fewer Model X are produced.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is no. For the maximum of Model X, 1 model T would be made. Therefore (50000-50)/20 = 2497.5. As you can’t have half a car, you round down giving 2497.

There are no statements showing to check against and answer would not work due to this
There was an outbreak of food poisoning on a hospital ward.
The table shows the data from the incident.
| Food | Number who ate and were ill | Total who ate | Number who didn’t eat and were ill | Total who did not eat |
| Soup | 10 | 10 | 2 | 20 |
| Bread | 5 | 15 | 7 | 15 |
| Peas | 10 | 10 | 15 | 20 |
| Chicken Curry | 20 | 20 | 7 | 10 |
| Apple pie and custard | 20 | 30 | 0 | 0 |
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is yes. From the table, 0 people did not eat apple pie.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is yes. From the table, the option which has the highest percentage of those became ill and the lowest number of people who were ill without eating it, the soup is the most likely source.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is no. From the table, we are told that 20 ate chicken curry and so this is two-thirds of the group.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. From the table, we cannot ascertain the total number who fell ill.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is no. We’ve seen before that 100% of people ate apple pie whereas 66% of people ate the chicken curry and so the Apple Pie is more popular.
David plants berry bushes in his garden. They grow blue and black berries at a constant rate without shedding any. At planting, they had 0 berries of any colour.
The following table shows the number of berries on each of the five bushes after two months.
| Plant | Blue Berries | Black Berries |
| 1 | 5 | 2 |
| 2 | 6 | 1 |
| 3 | 8 | 4 |
| 4 | 0 | 6 |
| 5 | 8 | 0 |
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is no. We’re told that they have 0 berries at planting and the numbers from the table after 2 months but not that these are the first fruits.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is no. We’re told that they grow berries at a constant rate. Plant 5 has grown 8 in 2 months so grow them at a rate of 4 a month and so after 5 months will have grown 20 blue berries.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is yes. We’re told three of the five have both which is 60%.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. Both Plant 3 and Plant 5 grow blue berries at a rate of 4 a month so it could be plant 3.

Civil servants are promoted depending on their performance rating. A department rates all its civil servants between 1 and 4 for their bonus allocation with 4 as highest and 1 as lowest. Civil servants are only eligible for promotion after two years of service in the same job and if they got a 3 or a 4 in their most recent performance review. All civil servants receive a £1k bonus if they receive a 3 or above in their performance review. The following table shows the employment record of some individuals. Years of service refers to their current role.
| Name | Performance rating | Years of service | Promoted? |
| Dan | 3 | 2 | Y |
| Jenna | 1 | 1.5 | N |
| Tim | 4 | 2 | Y |
| Tom | 3 | 1.5 | N |
| Marion | 1 | 3 | Y |
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is yes. Marion got a performance rating of 1 and was still promoted so cannot be a civil servant.
Statement 2:
The correct answer is no. Only Tim and Dan have a performance ranking above 3 and 2 years of service in their role.
Statement 3:
The correct answer is yes. Only those with a 3 or above get a bonus and her rating is 1.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. We are told that people get a £1k bonus rather than one dependent on performance.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is no. He will be eligible only if he gets a 3 or a 4 in next years’ performance rating.

There are no statements showing to check against
| Oil Paintings | Watercolours |
| 0 | 200 |
| 75 | 100 |
| 150 | 0 |
A group of artists collectively takes commissions. Each oil painting takes 20 hours and each watercolour takes 15. They are only limited by time.
Explanation
The correct answer is B. They have 200 x 15 hours which is 3000.
148 x 20 + 3 x 15 = 3005 and so they cannot fulfil it within a month.
Jonny’s photos have an introductory offer. For all new customers, first orders are reduced by 40%. On every order there is a flat delivery charge of £3.50. The standard prices are as follows:

| Poster | 5.00 |
| 3x Fridge Magnet | 6.00 |
| Pack of 5 Coasters | 10.00 |

Troy and Gabriella are planning their wedding. They have a list of items which they want to put on a wedding list. The following table shows the cost of various items at two department stores All prices are in pound sterling.
| Item | Jack Louis | House of Frazier |
| Drill | 20 | 25 |
| Dishwasher | 200 | 300 |
| Dinner Set | 150 | 100 |
| 12 Wine glasses | 30 | 45 |
| Baking tray | 15 | 10 |
| Breadmaker | 65 | 100 |
Explanation
Statement 1:
The correct answer is no. It is £35 more expensive rather than 35% more expensive.
Statement 2 & 3:
The correct answer is yes. This is selecting the relevant information from the table 150 + 20 – (100 + 25) = 45.
Statement 4:
The correct answer is no. Whilst the prices are very different, this is not a valid conclusion which we can draw.
Statement 5:
The correct answer is yes. If all the prices in the table are added together, Jack Louis is cheaper – this can be done by inspection as some of the House of Frazier are significantly more.
