Mr Chan wishes to buy a car that runs economically on petrol.

(a)

The petrol consumption of Car A is x km per litre.

Write down an expression for the number of litres of petrol, in terms of x, used by Car
A to travel 250 km.

(b)

[1]

The petrol consumption of Car B is ( x + 2) km per litre.

Write down an expression for the number of litres of petrol, in terms of x, used by Car
B to travel 250 km.

(c)

[1]

Car A uses 3 litres of petrol more than Car B for the 250 km journey.
Use this information to form an equation, in terms of x, and show that it simplifies to

3x 2 + 6 x 500 = 0 .
(d)

[2]

Solve the equation 3x 2 + 6 x 500 = 0 , giving your answers correct to 2 decimal places.
[3]

(e)

Explain which value of x from your answer in part (d) is valid.

(f)

Hence find the number of litres of petrol used by Car B for every kilometre travelled.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

The price of petrol in Singapore is S$1.78 per litre while the same grade of petrol costs
RM 2.09 per litre in Malaysia. Calculate the amount that Mr Chan can save, in S$ when
he bought 19.5 litres of petrol in Malaysia. The exchange rate was S$1=RM 2.31. [2]
