Paper 1

ITEM 1
Meat Akua, a market vender who sells fresh pineapples in Nakasero central market. She buys
her produce from farmers in nearby villages.
Akua bought 12 crates of pineapples, each containing 15 pineapples, from farmer Kofi’s farm.
She sold 30% of the total number of crates before her long-time friend, Kwame came to visit.
Kwame took Akua out for a dinner at a restaurant where they spent Sh 25,000 on each plate of
food and Sh 8,100 on drinks altogether. Kwame informed Akua about his Music Studio visit
and inspired him to join. Kwame informs Akua that he visits the studio after every five days
and Akua also promised to visit the same studio after a week. They agreed to also start a Joint
business with Kwame investing Shs 800,000 and Akua investing Shs 600,000, fore casting a
gross profit of Shs 2,400,000 by the end of the year. They also agreed to save 20% of the profit
for re-investment and 30% of the remainder to pay their workers in the business. They also
agreed to share the remaining profit in the ratio of their initial contributions. Kwame deposited
Akua’s share on his mobile money phone number without noticing him, unfortunately Akua
had forgotten the pin to withdraw the money but he had written 159 in decimal base which
must be converted to base four to get the correct pin.

Task
a) After how may days will Akua and Kwame meet again at the music studio?

They will meet together again after 35 days. AP = 1

b) How much money in words did Kwame spend on the dinner outing?
Food = 2 x 25,000 I=1
= 50,000
Drinks = 8,100
Total Amount = 50,000 + 8,100 M = 1
= 58,100
He spent fifty-eight thousand and one hundred shillings only. Ap = 1

c) If Akua repacked the remaining pineapples into new crates of 9, how many crates did she
get?
Bought 12 crates = 12 x 15 = 180 pineapples

𝟑𝟎
Sold x 12 = 3.6 crates = 3.6 x 15 I=1
𝟏𝟎𝟎
= 54 pineapples
Remained crates = 12 – 3.6 = 8.4 x 15
= 8.4 crates = 126 pineapples

d) What percentage of the total number of pineapples is damaged if of the remaining crates
8
were damaged?
Remaining crates = 8.4 = 126 pineapples
𝟏
Damaged crates = x 8.4 I=1
𝟖
= 1.05 crates

Damaged pineapples = 1.05 x 15

= 15.75 pineapples

𝟏𝟐𝟔
= 12.5% M=1

e) How much will each person get at the end of the year from the joint business and what do
you think was Akua’s correct pin for money.
Contribution of KWAME = 800,000
Akua = 600,000

Total contribution = 1,400,000

Profit = 2,400,000

𝟐𝟎
Saving =
𝟏𝟎𝟎
x 2,400,000 M1 = 1
= 480,000

Remainder = 2,400,000 – 480,000

= 1,920,000

𝟑𝟎
Workers =
𝟏𝟎𝟎
x 1,920,000 M1 = 1
= 576,000

Remainder after deducting saving and workers

= 1,400,000 – (480,000 + 576,000)
= 1,344,000 M1 = 1

Sharing according to contribution

Sharing; KWAME : AKUA = 800,000 : 600,000
K : A = 4 : 3
 𝟒
KWAME’S Share = 𝟕 x 1,344,000 M1 = 1
= 768,000

𝟑
AKUA’S Share =

ITEM 2
Joshua Kiprotich is an athlete who has been invited to complete in 384km distance marathon
run in 2025. But previously 2023 according to his records he run 48km in 2 hours and 168km
in 7 hours.
Additionally, the common wealth Athlete committee is organizing an open Marathon party for
the participants from different countries. The cost of renting a party garden is UGX 2millions
for the evening, they have also to budget for food which will cost approximately UGX 20,000
per person. The committee needs to ensure the total cost of the evening stays within their
budget. The committee has a maximum budget of UGX 5millions.

Task
a) After how many hours will it take Kiprotich to run the 384km if he runs at the same rate
from 2023 to 2026?

𝒙 = 𝟏𝟔 M1 = 1
He uses 16 hours to run 384km

b) Write down the equation connecting the total cost of the evening party with the number of
people.
Let the number of people invited be P
Renting cost = 2M
= 2 x 1,000,000 F=1
= 2,000,000

Food = 20,000 x P
= 20,000P F=1

Total cost C = 2,000,000 + 20,000P

C = 2,000,000 + 20,000P F = 1

c) Find the total cost for the 20 people attend.

From
C = 2,000,000 + 20,000P
If P = 20
C = 2,000,000 + 20,000 x (20) M=1
= 2,000,000 + 400,000 M=1
= 2,400,000 M=1
Total cost for 20 people attend is Shs 2,400,000

d) Find the greatest number of the people the committee is able to invite.
Cost ≤ 5M
2M + 20,000P ≤ 5M
2,000,000 + 20,000P ≤ 5,000,000 M=1

ITEM 3
A poultry farm, Green Acres, has three units: Sunrise, Meadow and Harvest. Each unit
produces eggs and broilers, with the following monthly output.
Sunrise: 25 trays of eggs and 25 broilers
Meadow: 50 trays of eggs and 20 broilers
Harvest: 40 trays of eggs and 15 broilers
The farm sells each tray of eggs for 4,500 shillings and each broiler for 6,000 shillings.
To optimize the packing process, the farm owner Mr. Smith, decides to weigh a sample of 900
eggs and classify them according to their mass (in grams). The frequency distribution of eggs’
masses is
Mass in grams 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64
Number of eggs 40 180 320 350 120 30

Mr. Smith plans to pick eggs in given weights to cater for different customer preferences.
a) Determine the median Mass of an egg to the nearest value from the given frequency
distribution to understand the central tendency of egg’s weight.

Median mass = 49.78

= 50 grams to the nearest value

b) What would be the percentage of eggs that would be classified as large (over 54 grams)
From Frequency distribution table, we can see that 120 + 30 = 150 eggs A=1
Have masses over 58 grams
Over 58 grams = 150 eggs
Sample = 900

c) Find the total sales of the farm if all the eggs and broilers were sold.
If the farm charges a 20% VAT, find the total income from the sales of the farm every month.
Unit Eggs Broiler Total
Sunrise 25 x 4,500 25 x 6,000 A = 1 = 262,500
Meadow 50 x 4,500 20 x 6,000 A = 1 = 345,000
Harvest 40 x 4,500 15 x 6,000 A = 1 = 270,000

Sunrise’s Sales = Sh 262,500 A = 1

Median Sales = Sh 345,000 A = 1
Harvest Sales = Sh 270,000 A = 1

Total Sales of the farm = 262,500 + 345,000 + 270,000

= 877,500 Ap = 1

VAT = 20%
Total income = Total sales + VAT
= 877,500 + VAT
𝟐𝟎
VAT = x 877,500 Ap = 1
𝟏𝟎𝟎
= 175,500 Ap = 1

Total Income = 877,500 + 175,500 Ap = 1

= 1,053,000 Ap = 1
The total income of the farm is Sh 1,053,000

ITEM 4
Mr. WAGUWENDA is a sales agent who works on behalf of Mr. LIVINGSTONE. Each cost
UGX 100,000. Mr. Livingstone has instructed him to take a commission of 15% on the total
sales he makes and give the remainder to the business owner.
One day Mr. WAGUWENDA the sales agent received on order from clients who wanted 15
same party dress and He has to travel from his home Mukono to the shop in Jinja to meet his
customers. He used a tax and found himself in Lugazi town. Mukono is on a bearing of 025 0
from Jinja and about 600km, while Lugazi is about 300km to west of Jinja.

Tasks
a) As a math student, help us to determine the distance from
(i) Mukono to Lugazi
= 15.5cm = 15.5 x 50 = 775km M=1

What is the bearing of

(ii) Lugazi from Jinja?
900 + 900 + 750 = 2250 M=1

(iii) Lugazi from Mukono?

900 + 900 + 520 = 2320 M=1
b) Determine how much money Mr. Waguwenda should give Mr. Livingstone after taking his
commission?
Commission = % Commission x Total sales
% Commission = 15%

Total sales = 15 x 100,000 A=1

= 1,500,000 M=1

Commission for Livingstone

𝟏𝟓
