    I got the road accidents wrong - but I dispute this. Assuming I can actually read the grpah


    There are 21 major accidents per week out of a total of 75 accidents. I make the percentage of major accidents 21/75 = 28% - which is apparently wrong

    98. and of the 4 I got wrong I misread 3 of the questions (Attention to detail not my strong point!


    This is the other one I got wrong - what is the correct answer?


    The graph shows house prices rising from £260k to £390k


    An estate agent shows you this picture, and says 'House prices will go up 50% in the next five years.' What do you think of this claim?

    • Definitely true
    • Impossible to say
    • Probably true
    • Definitely false

    When it shows the wrong answers, it reminds you the answers that you gave not the correct ones.

    Sorry, but I disagree, as the answers they gave for the two I got wrong (bicycle wheels and components) were DIFFERENT to the answers I gave and I could see that they were giving the correct ones. The other three were the same as I gave and were DEFINITELY correct.

    The answer you have given is the VAT on top of £899.00.
    The question is how much VAT is included in £899.00.
    The answer is £149.83.

    £899 is 120%
    So 20% is £899 / 6
    =£149.83
