Dev is choosing one filling and one type of bread at a sandwich shop.
The filling can be chicken, cheese or falafel.
The type of bread can be white or brown.
(a)List all the possible combinations he could choose.
(b)Dev decides to add a sauce as well. There are 6 different sauces to choose from.
How many different combinations are possible now?
Show answer
(a) chicken and white, chicken and brown, cheese and white, cheese and brown, falafel and white, falafel and brown
(b) \(36\)Be systematic. Take each filling in turn and pair it with every type of bread before moving on to the next one.
Chicken and white, chicken and brown
Cheese and white, cheese and brown
Falafel and white, falafel and brown
Working through the filling choices in order like this is what makes sure nothing is missed and nothing is written twice. There are 6 combinations altogether.
Each one of the 6 combinations from part (a) can be joined with any one of the 6 sauces, so every combination from part (a) splits into 6.
\(6 \times 6 = 36\)
Listing all 36 would take a while, which is exactly why multiplying the number of choices is worth knowing.

A sandwich has three different fillings. The fillings are chosen from
- egg (e) - tuna (t) - cheese (c) - ham (h)
List all the possible options for the three fillings.
One option has been done for you: \(e c h\)
Show answer
\(t c h\), \(e c h\), \(e t h\), \(e t c\), in any orderEach option has three of the four fillings, so each option leaves out exactly one of them. Leave out each one in turn.
Leave out egg (e): \(t c h\)
Leave out tuna (t): \(e c h\)
Leave out cheese (c): \(e t h\)
Leave out ham (h): \(e t c\)
The option shown leaves out tuna (t). Changing the order of the letters in an option does not make a new option, so there are four options in all.
- B1three of the four options, none written twice in a different order (the option shown counts as one of them)
- B1all four options: \(t c h\), \(e c h\), \(e t h\), \(e t c\), with no option written twice in a different order

Either paper 3 marksHere are three cards. Each card has one digit written on it.
5 6 7 (a)Each card is used once to make a three-digit number.
Write down all the three-digit numbers that can be made, starting with the smallest.
(b)A different set of 3 cards is used, each showing a different digit. This time a card may be used more than once, so a digit can be repeated.
How many different three-digit numbers can be made from that set?
Show answer
(a) \(567,\ 576,\ 657,\ 675,\ 756,\ 765\)
(b) \(27\)Be systematic: fix the hundreds digit, list every number that starts with it, then move on to the next digit.
Starting with 5: \(567\) and \(576\)
Starting with 6: \(657\) and \(675\)
Starting with 7: \(756\) and \(765\)
Any of the 3 cards can go first, either of the remaining 2 can go second, and the last card is then forced, so there are \(3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6\) numbers:
\(567,\ 576,\ 657,\ 675,\ 756,\ 765\)
Repeats are allowed, so nothing is used up: each of the three columns can be filled by any one of the 3 cards, independently of the others.
\(3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27\)

Isla, Jack, Kaya and Liam are in a group.
(a)Two of them are chosen to hand out the prizes.
List all the possible pairs that could be chosen.
(b)A larger group of 7 people is asked instead. One of them is chosen to be head student and a different one is chosen to be deputy head student.
Work out how many different ways this can be done.
Show answer
(a) Isla and Jack, Isla and Kaya, Isla and Liam, Jack and Kaya, Jack and Liam, Kaya and Liam
(b) \(42\)Take the four in the order they are given, and pair each one only with the people listed after it. That way no pair is ever written twice.
Isla: Isla and Jack, Isla and Kaya, Isla and Liam
Jack: Jack and Kaya, Jack and Liam
Kaya: Kaya and Liam
Liam has already been paired with all three of the others, so there is nothing new to add.
That gives 6 pairs.
There are 7 choices for head student. Once that person is fixed, 6 people are left to choose from for deputy head student.
\(4 \times 3 = 42\)
That is exactly twice the 6 pairs in part (a), because a pair does not say who is which, while the two roles do: Isla as head student with Jack as deputy head student is a different outcome from Jack as head student with Isla as deputy head student.

Here are four cards. Each card shows a digit.
\(3,\ 6,\ 5,\ 9\)
Grace chooses two of the cards and puts them side by side to make a two-digit number.
(a)Calculate how many different two-digit numbers she can make.
(b)List all the even two-digit numbers she can make.
(c)State the largest two-digit number she can make.
Show answer
(a) \(12\)
(b) \(36,\ 56,\ 96\)
(c) \(96\)There are \(4\) cards to choose for the tens digit, and then \(4 - 1\) cards left for the units digit.
\(4 \times 3 = 12\)
A number is even when its last digit is even, and only one of the four cards shows an even digit: \(6\).
So every even number she can make ends in \(6\), and any of the other \(3\) cards can go in front of it.
\(36,\ 56,\ 96\)
Put the largest digit in the tens column and the next largest in the units column.
\(9\) then \(6\), giving \(96\).
- (b) M1every number ends in the only even digit \(6\)
- (b) A1all 3 numbers \(36,\ 56,\ 96\)

Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 3 Art Music English Art Music Physics Art Music Spanish Art Music Chemistry Art English Chemistry Art Physics Chemistry Art Spanish Chemistry Omar has already chosen Art, which is in block 3, so no other subject from block 3 can be chosen. The subjects ruled out cannot be chosen either. That leaves the allowed subjects in each of the other blocks: Block 1: Music Block 2: English, Physics and Spanish Block 4: Chemistry The other two subjects must come from two different blocks. Go through the blocks in order: block 1 with block 2, then block 1 with block 4, then block 2 with block 4. Within each pair of blocks, take each allowed subject of the first block with each allowed subject of the second. A group is never made from two subjects in the same block, and no pair of blocks is used twice, so nothing is repeated or missed.
The number of groups from blocks 1 and 2 is \(3\), from blocks 1 and 4 is \(1\) and from blocks 2 and 4 is \(3\). \(3 + 1 + 3 = 7\), so there are seven groups.Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 3 Art Music English Art Music Physics Art Music Spanish Art Music Chemistry Art English Chemistry Art Physics Chemistry Art Spanish Chemistry - B1allowed subjects found in each block: block 1 Music; block 2 English, Physics and Spanish; block 4 Chemistry

Use each of the whole numbers 2 to 13 once, writing one in each box, so that the four calculations are correct.
\(\square + \square + \square = 36\)
\(\square + \square + \square = 26\)
\(\square + \square + \square = 10\)
\(\square + \square + \square = 18\)
Show answer
\(11 + 12 + 13 = 36\); \(7 + 9 + 10 = 26\); \(2 + 3 + 5 = 10\); \(4 + 6 + 8 = 18\) (the three numbers in each calculation may be in any order)Start with the totals that leave the fewest choices.
The smallest total is \(10\). The three smallest numbers are \(2\), \(2 + 1\) and \(2 + 2\), which add to \(9\). The total is 1 more, so the only way is to replace the largest of those three by the next number up.
\(2 + 3 + 5 = 10\)
The largest total is \(36\). The three largest numbers are \(13\), \(13 - 1\) and \(13 - 2\), which add to \(36\). That is exactly the total, so no other three numbers can make it.
\(11 + 12 + 13 = 36\)
Cross those six numbers off. The numbers left are \(4,\ 6,\ 7,\ 8,\ 9,\ 10\), and the two totals still to make are \(18\) and \(26\).
Choose three of the numbers left to make \(18\), and check that the other three make \(26\):
\(4 + 6 + 8 = 18\)
\(7 + 9 + 10 = 26\)
Every number from 2 to 13 has now been used once, so the four calculations are
\(11 + 12 + 13 = 36\); \(7 + 9 + 10 = 26\); \(2 + 3 + 5 = 10\); \(4 + 6 + 8 = 18\)
- B1the smallest total \(10\) made correctly: \(2 + 3 + 5\)
- B1the largest total \(36\) made correctly: \(11 + 12 + 13\)
- B1the other two totals \(18\) and \(26\) made correctly, each number from 2 to 13 used exactly once

Either paper 3 marksThe numbers 1 to 12 are put in a grid. Six of the numbers are shown. The letters A to F stand for the six numbers that are missing.
Each of the four sides of the grid must add up to 27. Complete the grid using the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12. Use each of them once, and give the number that each letter stands for.2 A 10 B 8 C D 9 E F 7 5 Show answer
A = 3, B = 12, C = 1, D = 6, E = 11, F = 4Each side of four numbers must add up to 27. So the blanks on a side must add up to 27 minus the given numbers on that side. A corner belongs to two sides, so a blank corner has to suit both of them.
On the top side, \(A + B = 15\). Of the numbers still unused, only 3 + 12, 4 + 11 make 15. On the right side, \(B + C = 13\). Of the numbers still unused, only 1 + 12 make 13. On the bottom side, \(F + E = 15\). Of the numbers still unused, only 3 + 12, 4 + 11 make 15. On the left side, \(E + D = 17\). Of the numbers still unused, only 6 + 11 make 17.
Putting what the sides allow together, B can only be 12, so \(B = 12\).
The top side has only one blank, A. \(A = 27 - (2 + 10 + 12) = 3\). The right side has only one blank, C. \(C = 27 - (12 + 9 + 5) = 1\).
Putting what the sides allow together, E can only be 11, so \(E = 11\).
The bottom side has only one blank, F. \(F = 27 - (5 + 7 + 11) = 4\). The left side has only one blank, D. \(D = 27 - (11 + 8 + 2) = 6\).
Check each side: top: \(2 + 3 + 10 + 12 = 27\); right: \(12 + 1 + 9 + 5 = 27\); bottom: \(5 + 7 + 4 + 11 = 27\); left: \(11 + 6 + 8 + 2 = 27\).
- M1uses a side total of 27 to find what blanks on a side must add to, or one blank, for example A + B = 15 from the top side

A shop sells ice creams. Each ice cream has two scoops.
The flavours are chocolate (c), strawberry (s), banana (b) and pistachio (p).
The two scoops can be the same flavour or different flavours.
(a)List all the possible options for the two scoops. The order of the scoops does not matter.
One option, sb, has been written in for you.
(b) In one day the shop sells 576 scoops of ice cream. The table shows the number of scoops of each flavour.
A pie chart is to be drawn to show the data. Work out the angle, in degrees, that stands for one scoop.Flavour Number of scoops Chocolate 80 Strawberry 112 Banana 160 Pistachio 224 (c)The sector for chocolate has been drawn. The marks round the circle are \(10^\circ\) apart.
Complete the pie chart to show the data in the table in part (b).
You cannot draw on this page. Draw (c) on paper, then show the answer and check your drawing against the model.
Show answer
(a) all 10 options, in any order and either way round: cc, cs, cb, cp, ss, sb, sp, bb, bp, pp
(b) \(0.625\)
(c) Sectors of \(70^\circ\) for strawberry, \(100^\circ\) for banana and \(140^\circ\) for pistachio, in any order round the chart(c)Pair each flavour with itself and with the flavours listed after it, so that no option is written twice.
c: cc, cs, cb, cp
s: ss, sb, sp
b: bb, bp
p: pp
That gives 10 options. The four with the same flavour twice (cc, ss, bb and pp) are part of the list.
The whole circle is \(360^\circ\) and stands for 576 scoops.
\(360 \div 576 = 0.625\)
So one scoop is \(0.625^\circ\).
Each scoop is \(0.625^\circ\), so multiply each number of scoops by \(0.625\).
Strawberry: \(112 \times 0.625 = 70^\circ\)
Banana: \(160 \times 0.625 = 100^\circ\)
Pistachio: \(224 \times 0.625 = 140^\circ\)
The sector for chocolate is \(80 \times 0.625 = 50^\circ\), and the four angles add up to \(50 + 70 + 100 + 140 = 360^\circ\).
Rule each radius by counting the marks, which are \(10^\circ\) apart, and write each name in its sector.

Anya has six coins.
The value of each coin is 2p, 5p or 10p.
She can make 22p using three of the coins.
She can make 30p using four of the coins.
She cannot make 9p using any three of the coins.
She cannot make 32p using any four of the coins.
List the values of the six coins.
Show answer
2p, 5p, 5p, 5p, 10p, 10p (in any order)Start with the "can" clues, because each one can be made in only one way.
22p with three coins: 2p + 10p + 10p = 22p
30p with four coins: 5p + 5p + 10p + 10p = 30p
All of these coins are among the six. The two groups use three and four coins, which is more than six, so they share some. Take each value as many times as it is needed in either group, and count a shared coin once:
2p, 5p, 5p, 10p, 10p
That is five coins, so there is one more coin to find. It is 2p, 5p or 10p. Test each against the "cannot" clues.
A sixth coin of 2p would mean Anya could make 2p + 2p + 5p = 9p using three coins, but that is a total Anya cannot make. So the sixth coin is not 2p.
A sixth coin of 10p would mean Anya could make 2p + 10p + 10p + 10p = 32p using four coins, but that is a total Anya cannot make. So the sixth coin is not 10p.
The sixth coin is 5p, so the six coins are
2p, 5p, 5p, 5p, 10p, 10p
- B1six coins that include 2p, 5p, 5p, 10p, 10p, the five that the two "can" clues need
- B1all six correct: 2p, 5p, 5p, 5p, 10p, 10p
