These quizzes practise concepts within this topic. Multiple-choice answers alone do not demonstrate drawing, conducting an investigation or using a digital tool.
Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M5N09-C01Name what the numbers represent. Equal groups usually suggest multiplication or division; a remaining budget suggests subtraction. Keep answers in the units the plan needs, such as places, tables or dollars.
- VC2M5N09-C02A one-off charge is added once, while a price per kit is multiplied by the kit count. Use existing stock before buying more. If only complete tables or packs are possible, a fractional result needs a context decision.
- VC2M5N09-C03For a spending limit, remove fixed costs before dividing and round the purchasable count down. For a supply requirement, round a pack count up. Check that your chosen count works and that the next smaller or larger count fails the relevant condition.
- VC2M5N09-C04Formulating the model, choosing tools and strategies, interpreting and communicating a financial plan.
