I think this was another one i could not show how to work out, but im sure i got it right as the first too are the same so the last one should be right. I lose points not showing how to work it out:

In all seriousness, how old are you and where are you doing the course? Is there anyone that can give you some extra tuition or support? By the sounds of it you need some extra help, simply retaking the exam isn't going to achieve anything.

 :grin: i take iv failed. maths is one thing i never learnt at school and never want to learn it.
I learnt three (aweek ago) mean, median and mode but dont see when im ever going to use it in life. You can get through life just knowing basic maths. I will work on percentage and fractions and see how it goes next time.

Good on ya mate. :afro:

 My missus left skool without basic reading, writing or mathematics.  :whistle:

When she couldnt help her kids with the homework ( or spell my surname ) she went back to college and got the basic education she missed out on years ok.


As dom said, perhaps your tutor needs to help a tad more, blindly doing re takes will get you nowhere !
