Q1. A restaurant bill is £46. A 15% service charge is added. How much is the service charge?
A. £4.60
B. £52.90
C. £6.90
D. £0.69
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. £6.90
To find 15% of £46, calculate 46 × 0.15, or find 10% (£4.60) and 5% (£2.30) and add them together. This equals £6.90.

A. £45
B. £75
C. £24
D. £40
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. £75
Add the parts of the ratio (3 + 5 = 8). Divide the total amount by the number of parts (£120 ÷ 8 = £15). Multiply this by the larger part of the ratio (5 × £15 = £75).

Show answer & explanation
