A cube and two similar cylinders weigh 250g altogether.
A cube and three similar cylinders weigh 300g altogether.
How much does a cube weigh?
The extra cylinder weighs 50g
The two original cylinders weigh 100g altogether.
The cube weighs 250g - 100g = 150g.
Joe has two 50p coins, three 20p coins and three 5p coins in his pocket.
He wants to buy a football.
How much more money does he need?
£4.00
Joe has £1 + 60p + 15p = £1.75
He needs £4 - £1.75 = £2.25 more

1 + 20 = 21
2 + 19 = 21
3 + 18 = 21
4 + 17 = 21
Add each pair of numbers until ...
10 + 11 = 21
This will make ten lots of 21.
10 x 21 = 210.

The price of this guitar is increased by 15%.
What is its new price?
£380To find 15% first find 10%.
10% 0f £380 is £38.
Now find 5% which is half of 10%.
So 5% is £19.
Now add your two answers; £38 + £19 = £57
The new price is £380 + £57 = £437

A football team scores 48 goals in one season.
Sam scores one-third of them, Jack scores 25% of them, Ben scores 9 goals; the rest are scored by other players.
How many goals did the other players score?
11 goals
One-third of 48 goals is 16 goals.
