Good morning Year 6 and welcome to your Monday Maths Challenge!
Congratulations to Sergio who was the first person to answer correctly on Friday!
The correct answer was ‘Nasreen bought 4 angel fish and 8 goldfish’. Did you get it right?
Use your Home Learning Book to complete your workings out and then write your answer below so I can see it.
Tomorrow morning, I will approve the answers and reveal who completed the challenge first!
Good luck!

1) Jim sold the cat and dog for £48 and £72 seperately.
When he sold the cat and dog ,he made £120.
2) Cat = £75
Dog= £50 =£125
Jim made a loss of £5 as he bought them for £125 and sold them for £120
Sorry I ment Jim sold the cat and dog for £120 in total.
2. Jim made a loss of £5.
1.He made £120 as the dog was sold for £72 and the cat was sold for £48.The total of £48 +£72=£120
2.He did not make a profit or a loss on the whole deal, as he bought the cat for £72 and the dog for £48. He sold them for £120.

2) He made a profit on the deal.

Dear Miss Gorick,
I am finding the maths activity challenging and could use some help/practice with this.
Maryana?
Hi Mariana, thank you for your comment. This question is all about percentages of amounts. Do you remember how to find out percentages?
1. $130
2.profit, because if he sold them at normal price both times it would have been only 240 weras now he sold them for 260
1.He lost 132? and got 12?.
2. The dog was bought for 54?,and the cat was bought for 72?. 54 +72= 126. He lost 126?by buying them, then he earned 120?by selling them, so in the end he just lost 6?.
P.S. The overall answer for no.2 is a loss.
P.S.P.S.Sorry for the ?, I couldn’t find the pound sign.
Hello Miss Gorick and Mrs Healy.
1) £120
2) he broke even
Correction:
For Question 2: a profit
1. £120
2.£240
Maryana, for the first question I think you have to find 20% of 60 then add your answer to 60 because it is the profit and then separately take away 20% of 60 from 60 because when he sold the cat he got a loss of money. Then add your two answers together.
Thank you Jade for helping Maryana, that is really kind of you 🙂
Thanks Jade,really appreciate the help. I definitely know who to ask for help. 😉
