Thank you Rebbonk, I though it might be best to start a new thread for Math problems and go from here.

Thanks Rebbonk, it my son really. He is preparing to Maths funcional skills City & Guilds.

Here are two examples where he has got a bit stuck.

[rebbonk]

Q7 he needs 7/35ths of a litre which equals 0.2l: which just happens to be 200ml

Q8 [(Selling price-cost price)/cost price]*100

[(3.90-2.60)/2.60]*100...... [1.30/2.60]*100........ =50%

I hope this makes some sort of sense Margaret?

Edit to correct my misread figures

Q8 could also be calculated by (profit/cost price)*100.... (1.30/2.60)*100 = 50%

Thank you Kindly, Rebbonk I'll get him to have a look at it, when he gets home. He will get round to join the forum.
