Round numbers to a given number of decimal places.

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

We can approximate numbers by rounding.

Round $\\var{c1}$ to a given number of decimal places.

", "advice": "

The first thing to do when we are rounding numbers is to identify the last digit we are keeping.

When you're asked to round your answer to a number of decimal places, you need to decide whether to keep the last digit the same (rounding down) or increase it by 1 (rounding up). If the following digit is less than 5 we round down and we round up when the next digit is 5 or more.

To write it down in steps:

Identify the last digit we need to keep.
Look at the following digit.
If it's 5 or more, increase the previous digit by one.
If it's 4 or less, keep the previous digit the same.
Fill any spaces to the right of the digit with zeros if needed.

It is important to keep in mind that if the digit we are increasing is 9, it becomes zero and we increase the previous digit instead. If this digit is 9 as well, we move along to the left side until we find a digit less than 9.

To round a number to a given number $n$ of decimal places, we look at the $n$th digit after the decimal point.

We have $\\var{c1}$.

We look at the first digit after the decimal point. This is $\\var{cdig[4]}$ and the following digit is $\\var{cdig[3]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 1)}$.

ii)

The second digit after the decimal point is $\\var{cdig[3]}$. It is followed by $\\var{cdig[2]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 2)}$.

iii)

The 3rd decimal place is $\\var{cdig[2]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[1]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 3)}$. The 4th decimal place is $\\var{cdig[1]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[0]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 4)}$.

If a number like {y} has been rounded to the nearest {x} then {y} would have been rounded down if it was less than {y+x/2} because {y} is the nearest multiple of {x}.

Given a student discount, calculate a discounted price.

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

{pname} is buying a new {item}. The price of the model he picked is £{price}. On a website with discounts for students, he found a voucher for a discount of {percentage}%.

", "advice": "

There are multiple methods to approach this problem. The first method involves working out the discounted price as a percentage of the original, while the second method calculates the value of the discount and subtracts that from the listed price.

Method 1

There is a {percentage}% decrease in price. This means that the new price will be {100-percentage}% of the old price.

\\[\\begin{align} \\frac{\\var{100-percentage}}{100} \\times \\var{price} &= \\var{dpformat((100-percentage)/100*price,4)} \\\\&= \\var{dpformat((100-percentage)/100*price, 2)}\\text{.} \\end{align}\\]

Or, using the multiplier method,

\\[\\begin{align} \\var{(100-percentage)/100} \\times \\var{price} &= \\var{dpformat((100-percentage)/100*price,4)}\\\\&= \\var{dpformat((100-percentage)/100*price, 2)}\\text{.} \\end{align}\\]

When we are talking about money, it is usually assumed that we will round the answer to 2 decimal places.

Method 2

We find the discount first. This is

\\[\\frac{\\var{percentage}}{100} \\times \\var{price} = \\var{dpformat((percentage)/100*price,4)}\\text{.}\\]

Or using a decimal multiplier,

\\[\\var{(percentage)/100} \\times \\var{price} = \\var{dpformat((percentage)/100*price,4)}\\text{.}\\]

Then we subtract the discount from the original price to get the new price:

\\[ \\var{price} - \\var{dpformat(discount,2)} = \\var{dpformat(price - discount, 2)}\\text{.} \\]

Find the original price before a discount by dividing the new price by the percentage discount.

{name1} and {name2} are friends. {name1} noticed {name2}'s new {item} when he came over to visit her house. He immediately knew he wanted to buy the same model. When he got home, he bought the {item} online for £{newprice}.

", "advice": "

We need to find the original price paid by {name2}. This value represents 100%.

By the time {name1} bought the {item}, the price had decreased by {percentage}%.

{name1} therefore paid {100-percentage}% of the price {name2} paid.

We use the unitary method to find the original price. We know the price paid by {name1}.

\\[\\var{100-percentage}\\text{%} = \\var{newprice} \\text{.}\\]

Divide both sides by {100-percentage} to get

\\[\\begin{align} 1\\text{%} &= \\var{newprice} \\div \\var{100-percentage} \\\\&= \\var{newprice/(100-percentage)} \\text{.} \\end{align}\\]

Multiply both sides by 100 to get

\\[\\begin{align} 100\\text{%} &= \\var{newprice/(100-percentage)} \\times 100 \\\\&= \\var{newprice/(100-percentage)*100} \\\\&= \\var{oldprice}\\text{.} \\end{align}\\]

This is the original price paid by {name2} before the {percentage}% decrease.

We can check our answer with a different method.

To find $\\var{a^n}^{\\frac{\\var{m}}{\\var{n}}}$, we want to make use of the following rule:

By rewriting the power $\\frac{\\var{m}}{\\var{n}}$ as a product of $\\var{m} \\times \\frac{1}{\\var{n}}$, we can apply this rule:

Expand the expression below by multiplying each of the terms inside the brackets by the term outside. Give the answer in its simplest form.

", "advice": "

Expand brackets using the general formula $\\displaystyle a(x+c)=ax+ac$. This means we multiply each term inside the brackets by the term outside the brackets.

It is easy to forget that the sign outside the brackets also needs to be involved in the multiplication so remember that when two of the same sign are multiplied, the resultant term is positive and when opposite signs are multiplied, the result is negative.

To solve an equation like

$\\displaystyle{\\frac{x+\\var{num1}}{\\var{num2}}+\\frac{x}{\\var{num3}}=\\var{num4}},$

the first thing to deal with is the denominators of the fractions. In order to do that you multiply both sides of the equation by both denominators $\\var{num2}$ and $\\var{num3}$ (or their lowest common multiple to be slightly more efficient). This will give something equivalent to:

$\\displaystyle{\\var{num3 + num2} x+\\var{num3*num1} = \\var{num2*num3*num4}.}$

Then proceeding by subtracting $\\var{num3*num1} from both sides:

$\\displaystyle{\\var{num3 + num2} x = \\var{num2*num3*num4-num3*num1}.}$

And finally dividing by $\\var{num2+num3}$:

$\\displaystyle{x = \\frac{\\var{num2*num3*num4-num3*num1}}{\\var{num2+num3}}.}$

\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\triangle} &= \\frac{\\mathrm{base} \\times \\mathrm{height}}{2} \\\\
&= \\frac{\\var{w6} \\times \\var{h6}}{2} \\\\
&= \\var{0.5*w6*h6}\\, \\mathrm{m}^2\\,.
\\end{align}

Now that we have the area of the triangular face ($\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\triangle}$) we can multiply this by the $\\mathrm{depth} = \\var{d6}m\\thinspace$.

\\begin{align}
\\mathrm{Volume} &= \\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\triangle} \\times \\mathrm{depth} \\\\
&= \\var{0.5*w6*h6} \\times \\var{d6} \\\\
&= \\var{0.5*w6*h6*d6}\\, \\mathrm{m}^2\\,.
\\end{align}

For a cylinder, we first need to find the area of the circular face then multiply this area by the depth of the cylinder.
In this example the radius of the circular face is $\\mathrm{radius} = \\var{r7}m$ which can be used to calculate the area of the circular face.

\\begin{align}
\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc} &= \\pi \\times \\mathrm{radius}^2 \\\\
&= \\pi \\times \\var{r7}^2 \\\\
&= \\var{pi * (r7)^2}\\, \\mathrm{m}^2 \\,.
\\end{align}

Now that we have the area of the circular face ($\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc}$) we can multiply this by the $\\mathrm{depth} =\\var{w7}m\\thinspace$.

\\begin{align}
\\mathrm{Volume} &= \\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc} \\times \\mathrm{depth} \\\\
&= \\var{pi*(r7)^2} \\times \\var{w7} \\\\
&= \\var{dpformat(pi*w7*(r7)^2, 5)} \\\\

Find the gradient of the line.

", "advice": "

Firstly draw a right angled 'step' from left to right. This triangle can be anywhere, but it is more helpful for it to have corners on the vertices (whole number points) of the graph and it is easier to calculate with postive numbers.

{app_advice}

Before we start to calculate, notice that the line is {uod}, so the gradient will be {pon} and the line is {sos}, so the absolute value of the number will be {mol}.

Now find the coordinates of the places your triangle meets the line

$(x_1,y_1)=(\\var{ax},\\var{ay})$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(\\var{bx},\\var{by})$

We need to compare the 'rise on the y-axis' to the 'run across the x-axis', we can say that:

$\\text{gradient} = \\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$

This is equivalent to using the formula:

$ m = \\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $

and substitute the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle:

$\\begin{split} &\\, m = \\frac{\\var{by} - \\var{ay}}{\\var{bx} - \\var{ax}} \\\\
&\\, = \\frac{\\var{by-ay}}{\\var{bx-ax}} \\\\
&\\, = \\var[fractionNumbers]{m} \\\\
\\end{split} $

The mode is the value that occurs the most often in the data.

To find a mode, we can look at our sorted list:

$\\var{a_s[0]}, \\var{a_s[1]}, \\var{a_s[2]}, \\var{a_s[3]}, \\var{a_s[4]}, \\var{a_s[5]}, \\var{a_s[6]}, \\var{a_s[7]}, \\var{a_s[8]}, \\var{a_s[9]}, \\var{a_s[10]}, \\var{a_s[11]}, \\var{a_s[12]}, \\var{a_s[13]}, \\var{a_s[14]}, \\var{a_s[15]}, \\var{a_s[16]}, \\var{a_s[17]}, \\var{a_s[18]}, \\var{a_s[19]}$.

We notice that $\\var{mode1}$ occurs the most ($\\var{modetimes[mode1]}$ times) so $\\var{mode1}$ is the mode.

The median is the middle value. We need to sort the list in order:

\\[ \\var{a_s[0]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[1]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[2]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[3]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[4]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[5]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[6]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[7]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[8]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[9]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[10]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[11]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[12]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[13]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[14]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[15]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[16]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[17]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[18]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[19]} \\]

There is an even number of responses, so there are two numbers in the middle (10^th and 11^th place). To find the median, we need to find the mean of these two numbers $\\var{a_s[9]}$ and $\\var{a_s[10]}$:

\\begin{align}
\\frac{\\var{a_s[9]} + \\var{a_s[10]}}{2} &= \\frac{\\var{a_s[9] + a_s[10]}}{2} \\\\
&= \\var{median} \\text{.}
