1 (a) The Muller family are on holiday in New Zealand.

(i) They change some euros (€) and receive $1962 (New Zealand dollars).
The exchange rate is €1 = $1.635 .

Calculate the number of euros they change.

€ ................................................ [2]

(ii) The family spend 15% of their New Zealand dollars on a tour.

Calculate the number of dollars they have left.

$ ................................................ [2]

(iii) The family visit two waterfalls, the Humboldt Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.
The ratio of the heights Humboldt Falls : Bridal Veil Falls = 5 : 1.
The Humboldt Falls are 220 m higher than the Bridal Veil Falls.

Calculate the height of the Humboldt Falls.
