[b](a)
0.7A = B + 0.3A ==> B = 0.4A
(A-B)/B × 100% = 0.6A/0.4A × 100% = 150%
(b)
1.8(A - 100) = B + 100 ==> B = 1.8A - 280
0.4A = 1.8A - 280
1.4A = 280
A = 200
B = 80
draw ur own bar models if necessary.[/b]

I sitted for PSLE more than 10 years ago and came across such challenging questions. These type of questions (mostly question 46 and onwards and most of the time is 4 or 5 marks questions). Drawing models is a must, if didn't draw will be difficult to solve these challenging questions. When I'm in pri school really can score these questions easily and always got A* for my Maths paper. But my sec school de always failOriginally posted by popmynutsy:why nowadays psle maths so hard? i still rmb 5 yrs ago dun haf such bull shit 1.

But my sec school de always failmaybe it's more on memorizing formulaes.
I once went for a interview test for promotion (at work) and was quite surprise to see unrelated challenging pri sch maths questions being used in the test.
