1. (7) A student bought a pen at $5 and some writing pads at $15 each . If the total cost of the pen and the writing pads was $65, how many writing pads did he buy ?
Let the number of the writing pads he bought be x,
5 + 15x = 65
5 + 15x – 5 = 65 – 5
15x ÷ 15 = 60 ÷ 15
x = 4
∴He bought 4 sets of writing pads.
2. (11) Helen goes to work by MTR and bus . She spends 35 minutes more on the MTR than on the bus . The whole journey takes her 55 minutes . How long does she spend on the bus ?
Let she spends x minutes on the bus,
35 + x = 55
35 + x – 35 = 55– 35
x = 20
∴She spends 20minutes on the bus.

對不起, 第二題要修正:
Let she spends x minutes on the bus,
35 + 2x = 55
35 + 2x – 35 = 55– 35
2x ÷ 2 = 20 ÷ 2
x = 10
∴She spends 10minutes on the bus

3. (15) If the sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 20, find the smaller number .
Let x be the smaller number.
x + x + 2 = 20
2x + 2 - 2 = 20 – 2
2x ÷ 2 = 19 ÷ 2
x = 9
∴The two consecutive odd numbers are 9 and 10 respectively.

(a) How many girls are there in the class ?
Let the number of girls in the class be x.
x + x – 11 = 45
2x – 11 + 11 = 45 + 11
2x ÷ 2 = 56 ÷ 2
x = 28
∴The number of girls in the class is 28.
