(Gopal and Henry Gaps & Differences Question)

PSLE Math 2017 Paper 2 Question 13

(a) Ans: $980

Method 1: ‘Top up’ method

$3850 + $2030 = $5880
$5880 ÷ 2 = $2940 (Gopal)

Method 2: ‘Takeaway’ method

$3850 - $2030 = $1820
$1820 ÷ 2 = $910 (Henry)
$910 + $2030 = $2940 (Gopal)

(b) Ans: 42 days

$2940 ÷ 3 = $980
Gap → $980 - $910 = $70
Difference → $5
No. of days that Henry worked → $70 ÷ $5 = 14
No. of days that Gopal worked → 14 × 3 = 42
