A competitor airport operator called Vefy Flights operates a different airport with half the average Year 1 weekly number of passengers operating from 3 terminals. What is Vefy Flights’s average weekly number of passengers per terminal (to the nearest 1,000)?
110,000
113,000
133,000
142,000
150,000
Step 1 – calculate the total number of Terminal A-E passengers. Total number of Terminal A-E passengers = 676.
Step 2 - calculate Vefy Flights’s average weekly number of passengers 676 x 0.5 = 338
Step 3 – calculate Vefy Flights’s average weekly number of passengers per terminal 338 / 3 = 112.667 (1,000’s) = 112,667 = 113,000 (to the nearest 1,000)
So the correct answer is (B), 113,000
In Year 2 each passenger spends on average £4.25 in Terminal C’s shops. How much is the average weekly revenue for Terminal C’s shops in Year 2 (to the nearest £10,000)?
£4,400,000
£540,000
£54,000
£46,000
£44,000
Step 1 – calculate Year 2 passenger total for Terminal C (62.9 + 63.1) x 101.5% = 127.89 In 1,000's = 127,890
Step 2 – calculate the average weekly revenue generated 127,890 x £4.25 = £543,532.5 (£540,000 to the nearest £10,000)
So the correct answer is (B), £540,000
For Year 1 what was the average weekly difference between male and female passengers per terminal?
2,200 more males
1,200 more males
220 more females
140 more females
120 more males
The information that you need is shown in the table.
Step 1 – calculate the total difference between the weekly numbers of male and female passengers (52.9 – 52.7) + (66.6 - 66.5) + (62.9 – 63.1) + (77.1 – 76.9) + (78.8 – 78.5) = 0.6
Step 2 – calculate the average difference = 0.6 / 5 (1,000s) = 0.12 (1,000s) = 120 more male passengers
So the correct answer is (E) 120 more males
Which terminal had the highest number of passengers per week in Year 2?
Terminal A
Terminal B
Terminal C
Terminal E
Terminal D
The information that you need is shown in both the table and the graph.
Step 1 Given Year 2’s 1.5-2.5% increases in passenger numbers, save time by considering only which terminals have the highest number of passengers per week in Year 1. This is Terminal D and E.
Step 2 Calculate Year 1’s total passengers for Terminals D and E (by adding male and female passenger numbers): Terminal D = 77.1 + 76.9 = 154 Terminal E = 78.8 + 78.5 = 157.3
Step 3 - calculate Year 2’s totals for these Terminals: Terminal D = 154 x 102% = 157.08 Terminal E = 157.3 x 98% = 154.15 So the correct answer is (D), Terminal D

The total 2011 Marketing Budget for all five Brands is to be cut by a quarter in 2012. In £, what is the 2012 Marketing Budget? (to the nearest £100,000)?
£3 million
£3.1 million
£5.2 million
£6.2 million
£7.1 million
Step 1 – calculate the 2012 marketing budget
2011 marketing budget (from previous question) = 1135 ( 10,000s) 2012 marketing budget = 11.35 million x 75% = 8.5125 million
Step 2 – convert into £ 8,512,500 / 1.2 = £7.094 million
Step 3 – put answer into the nearest £100,000 £7.1 million
So the correct answer is £7.1 million
