1. **Problem (a):** Luc uses $\frac{3}{4}$ of a tin per door and needs to paint 7 doors. Find the least number of tins needed.
2. **Formula:** Total paint needed $= 7 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{21}{4} = 5.25$ tins.
3. Since Luc cannot buy a fraction of a tin, he needs to buy at least 6 tins.

1. **Problem (b):** Jan buys tins for 17.16 each and sells at a 25% profit. Find the selling price.
2. **Formula:** Selling price $= \text{Cost price} \times (1 + \text{Profit rate})$
3. Calculate: $17.16 \times 1.25 = 21.45$
---
1. **Problem (c):** The cost 17.16 is 4% more than last year. Find last year's cost.
2. **Formula:** Current cost $= \text{Previous cost} \times 1.04$
3. Calculate previous cost: $\frac{17.16}{1.04} = 16.5$

1. **Problem (d):** Tin costs 17.16 dollars in America and 13.32 euros in Italy. Exchange rate $1 = 0.72$ euros. Find difference in dollars.
2. Convert euros to dollars: $\frac{13.32}{0.72} = 18.5$ dollars.
3. Difference: $18.5 - 17.16 = 1.34$ dollars.

1. **Problem (e)(i):** Convert 750 ml to cm$^3$.
2. Since 1 ml = 1 cm$^3$, 750 ml = 750 cm$^3$.

1. **Problem (e)(ii):** Calculate radius of cylindrical tin with height 11 cm and volume 750 cm$^3$.
2. Volume formula: $$V = \pi r^2 h$$
3. Rearrange for radius: $$r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}} = \sqrt{\frac{750}{\pi \times 11}}$$
4. Calculate: $$r = \sqrt{\frac{750}{34.5575}} = \sqrt{21.7} = 4.7 \text{ cm (to 1 decimal place)}$$

1. **Problem (e)(iii):** Similar tin with height 22 cm. Find volume in litres.
2. Since tins are similar, volume scales by cube of scale factor.
3. Scale factor for height: $\frac{22}{11} = 2$
4. Volume scales by $2^3 = 8$
5. New volume: $750 \times 8 = 6000$ cm$^3 = 6$ litres.

1. **Problem (f):** Mass of one tin is 890 g to nearest 10 g. Find upper bound for 10 tins.
2. Upper bound for one tin: $890 + 5 = 895$ g
3. Total upper bound: $895 \times 10 = 8950$ g
---
1. **Problem (g):** Probability a tin is dented is 0.07. Out of 3000 tins, expected dented tins?
2. Expected number: $3000 \times 0.07 = 210$
---
1. **Problem (h):** Filling rate is 2 m$^3$ per minute. How many 750 ml tins filled in 1 hour?
2. Convert 1 hour to minutes: $60$ minutes.
3. Total volume filled: $2 \times 60 = 120$ m$^3$
4. Convert 750 ml to m$^3$: $750$ ml = $750 \times 10^{-6} = 0.00075$ m$^3$
5. Number of tins: $\frac{120}{0.00075} = 160000$ tins.
**Final answers:**
(a) 6 tins
(b) 21.45
(c) 16.5
(d) 1.34
(e)(i) 750 cm$^3$
(e)(ii) 4.7 cm
(e)(iii) 6 litres
(f) 8950 g
(g) 210
(h) 160000
