At the end of 2014, several states in Malaysia were hit by severe floods. The table below shows an estimated number of flood victims in three states.
Calculate the total number of flood victims in the three states.
| State |
Estimated Number of Victims (people) |
| Kelantan |
45 400 |
| Terengganu |
10 800 less than Kelantan |
| Pahang |
33 000 |
SOLUTION:
Terengganu:
45 400 - 10 800 = 34 600 people
\(\begin {array}{rr} \\ \space\space 4\space5\,\space\space4\space0\space0\\ - \quad\space1\space0\,\space\space8\space0\space0 \\\hline\space\space3\space4\,\space\space6\space0\space0\\\hline \end {array} \)
Total number of flood victims in the three states:
45 400 + 34 600 + 33 000 = 113 000
\(\begin {array}{rr} \\ \space\space\small{\color{red}1}\space \small{\color{red}1}\space\space\space\space\space\quad\quad \\ \space 4\space5\,\space\space4\space0\space0\\ \quad\space3\space4\,\space\space6\space0\space0\\ + \quad\space3\space3\,\space\space0\space0\space0 \\\hline1\space\space1\space3\,\space\space0\space0\space0\\\hline \end {array} \)
In 2015, a factory produced \(\frac{1}{5}\) million kilogram of cooking oil for export. Production targets in each subsequent year is 2 times the mass of cooking oil compared to the previous year. What is the mass, in kg, of cooking oil produced in 2019?
SOLUTION:
\(\frac{1}{5}\times1\ 000\ 000=200\ 000\)
| Year |
Mass (kg) |
| 2015 |
200 000 |
| 2016 |
2 x 200 000 = 400 000 |
| 2017 |
2 x 400 000 = 800 000 |
| 2018 |
2 x 800 000 = 1 600 000 |
| 2019 |
2 x 1 600 000 = 3 200 000 |
Mass of cooking oil produced in 2019 is 3 200 000 kg.
