6. (a) The selling price of a suit = $1500  (1−10%) = $1500 0.9 = $1350
Let $p be the cost price of suit A.
p  (1+ 50%) = 1350 p = 1350  (1 + 50%) = 1350 1.5 = 900 1A
∴ The cost price of suit A is $900.
Let $q be the cost price of suit B.
q  (1 − 50%) = 1350 q = 1350  (1− 50%) = 1350  0.5 = 2700 1A
∴ The cost price of suit B is $2700.

 (b) Total cost price of two suits = $(900 + 2700) = $3600
Total selling price of two suits = $1350  2 = $2700 1M
∵ Total selling price < total cost price
∴ Overall loss = $(3600 − 2700) = $900

7. (a) AC = 6 − (−4) = 10
AB = (−4 + 10)2 + (−2 − 6) 2 = 36 + 64 = 10 = AC 1M
BC = (−10 − 6) 2 + [6 − (−2)]2 = 320 = 8 5
∵ AB = AC ∴ △ABC is an isosceles triangle. 1A

(b) ∵ By (a), △ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC.

Least possible weight of the pack of tomatoes = (910 − 5) g = 905 g 1A

(b) Least possible total weight of 4 packs of tomatoes = 905  4 g = 3620 g 1M

If the total weight of 4 packs of tomatoes is measured as 3 kg, correct to the nearest kg,
 1 
the upper limit of the total weight =  3 + 1 kg = 3.5 kg = 3500 g
 2 
Since 3620 g > 3500 g, it is impossible that the total weight of 4 packs of tomatoes is measured as
3 kg, correct to the nearest kg. 1A f.t.

9. (a) In △ABC and △CDE,

ABC = CDE = 90 (given)
BAC + ABC = ACE + DCE (ext.  of △)
BAC + 90 = 90 + DCE
BAC = DCE
ACB = 180 − ABC − BAC ( sum of △)
CED = 180 − CDE − DCE ( sum of △)
∴ ACB = CED
