  2. $5,400
  3. $5,600
  4. $6,000
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B$5,400
Award 1 mark for: VAT = 12.5% of $4,800 = $600. Price inclusive = $4,800 + $600 = $5,400. A ($4,200) incorrectly subtracts VAT. C ($5,600) uses 16.67%. D ($6,000) uses 25% instead of 12.5%.

  2. 24%
  3. 25%

Are the Consumer Arithmetic questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Additional Mathematics syllabus?

Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Consumer Arithmetic typically tested on CXC CSEC Additional Mathematics papers?
Consumer Arithmetic appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Additional Mathematics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response.
