1760 children took part in a run last year. This year, the number of boys increased by 20% while the number of girls decreased by 20%. As a result, the number of girls became twice as many as the number of boys this year.

(a) How many boys took part in the run last year?
(b) What is the percentage decrease in the number of children who took part in the run this year?

:thankyou:

Eric had an equal amount of goldfish, angelfish and swordfish in his shop. He sold 37 goldfish, some angelfish and swordfish. He had twice as many angelfish as swordfish left. The total number of fishes left was 116. How many swordfish are sold?

Most of the science magazines for kids have comics to illustrate science concepts. Although funny and heartening, the magazines do not go in-depth into the topic.

Hello, I need help with these questions. Really appreciate your assistance!


1. Mrs Koh bought some toys. She spent 1/4 of the money on a doll and the rest on 4 identical toy cars of the same price. She paid $4.50 more for a doll than on a toy car. How much did she spend on each toy car.


2. Alan and Berny have 336 cards altogether. 1/4 of Alan’s cards is 12 more than 1/5 of Berny’s cards. How many cards does Berny have?

Thanks! One more question:

Yes, use ‘se’ because Singapore education uses British English.

Yes, June is the last long ‘holiday’ before term 3… Oh well, I have to look for external help. You’re going to get retribution, teachers!

So what if the T-Scores are scrapped?


Countless people had already sat for the PSLE and their scores were judged by their alma matter. I do not know what difference the proposed change will made, because all p6 students will study for PSLE anyways. Also, the government has not made an explicit decision and apparently, wants to delay the announcement.

That’s right. I wish teachers can teach properly.
