Explanation:

Step 1 – calculate the percentage reduction in Marketing Budget for each Brand. Brand A: 225 / 300 = 25% reduction Brand D: 210 / 300 = 30% reduction Step 2 – calculate the new number of staff for Brand A 120 x 0.75% = 90. Step 3 – calculate the new number of staff for Brand D(120 x 3) x 0.7 = 252. So the correct answer is (C), 90 (Brand A); 252 (Brand D)

Explanation:

Step 1 – calculate the 2012 marketing budget 2011 marketing budget (from previous question) = 1135 ( 10,000s) 2012 marketing budget = 11.35 million x 75% = 8.5125 million Step 2 – convert into £ 8,512,500 / 1.2 = £7.094 million Step 3 – put answer into the nearest £100,000 £7.1 million So the correct answer is (E), £7.1 million

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in both the table and the graph. Step 1 Given Year 2’s 1.5-2.5% increases in passenger numbers, save time by considering only which terminals have the highest number of passengers per week in Year 1. This is Terminal D and E. Calculate Year 1’s total passengers for Terminals D and E (by adding male and female passenger numbers): Terminal D = 77.1 + 76.9 = 154 Terminal E = 78.8 + 78.5 = 157.3 Step 3 - calculate Year 2’s totals for these Terminals: Terminal D = 154 x 102% = 157.08 Terminal E = 157.3 x 98% = 154.15 So the correct answer is (D), Terminal D

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in the table. Step 1 – calculate the total difference between the weekly numbers of male and female passengers (52.9 – 52.7) + (66.6 - 66.5) + (62.9 – 63.1) + (77.1 – 76.9) + (78.8 – 78.5) = 0.6 Step 2 – calculate the average difference = 0.6 / 5 (1,000s) = 0.12 (1,000s) = 120 more male passengers So the correct answer is (E) 120 more males

Explanation:

Step 1 – calculate Year 2 passenger total for Terminal C (62.9 + 63.1) x 101.5% = 127.89 In 1,000's = 127,890. Step 2 – calculate the average weekly revenue generated 127,890 x £4.25 = £543,532.5 (£540,000 to the nearest £10,000). So the correct answer is (B), £540,000
