Priya works as a sales representative and earns a base wage plus commission. A spreadsheet is used to calculate her weekly earnings.

Total weekly earnings = Base wage + Total sales \(\times\) Commission rate

A spreadsheet showing Priya's weekly earnings is shown.
  

 

  1. Write down the formula used in cell B9, using appropriate grid references.   (1 mark)

  2. In the following week, Priya earned total weekly earnings of $1437.50. Her base wage and commission rate remained unchanged. Calculate Priya's total sales for that week.   (2 marks)

  3. Priya's employer increases her commission rate to 4.2% but keeps her base wage the same. If Priya makes $22 000 in sales, calculate her new total weekly earnings.   (2 marks)

a.   \(\text{Total weekly earnings} = \text{Base wage}+\text{Total sales} \times \text{Commission rate}\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Formula:}\ =\text{B4}+\text{B5}^*\text{B6}/100\)
 

b.   \(\text{Total weekly earnings} = \text{Base wage}+\text{Total sales} \times \text{Commission rate}\)

\(\text{Let the Total sales}=S\)

\(1437.50\) \(=650+S\times \dfrac{3.5}{100}\)
\(787.50\) \(=S\times \dfrac{3.5}{100}\)
\(S\) \(=\dfrac{787.50\times 100}{3.5}=$22\,500\)

 
\(\text{The amount of Priya’s total sales was \$22 500.}\)

How can an athlete ensure their training procedures are safe? In your answer, refer to ONE training method.  ( 5 marks)

Show Answers Only

Training Method: Plyometrics

  • Athletes must complete comprehensive warm-ups before plyometric sessions. This occurs because muscles and connective tissues require increased temperature and blood flow before explosive movements to prevent strain injuries.
  • For example, performing 10 minutes of dynamic stretching and light jogging prepares joints for impact forces. This reduces injury risk during box jumps and depth jumps.
  • Proper landing technique ensures safety during plyometric exercises. This happens when athletes maintain correct body positioning with bent knees and controlled movements, which prevents excessive joint stress.
  • Progressive overload principles must be applied carefully. This means gradually increasing jump height and repetitions over weeks, allowing tissues to adapt without overuse injuries.
  • Training on appropriate surfaces like gym mats or grass protects joints from impact forces. Consequently, athletes avoid stress fractures and tendon damage during high-intensity explosive training.

Describe the potential effects of caffeine on an athlete's performance.   (4 marks)

Show Answers Only

Positive Effects

  • Enhanced Mental Function: Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system. This improves concentration, alertness and decision-making during competition.
  • Increased Endurance: Caffeine mobilises fat stores for energy use. This delays glycogen depletion, allowing athletes to sustain effort for longer periods.

Negative Effects

  • Overstimulation: Excessive caffeine consumption causes nervousness and tremors. This impairs fine motor control required in precision sports like archery or gymnastics.
  • Dehydration Risk: Caffeine acts as a diuretic, increasing fluid loss. This can lead to reduced performance in endurance events if hydration is inadequate.

Which of the following statements best reflects the impact of emerging new treatment and technologies on health care?

  1. Developments have increased efficiency, providing equal access to innovative treatments across all populations.
  2. There is increased use of primary services, but it has minimal influence on improving individual health outcomes.
  3. Early detection of a disease has the potential to improve health outcomes, but limited availability may restrict equitable access.
  4. Advancements have largely focused on enhancing elective procedures, which limits their contribution to improving overall delivery of services.
Show Answers Only

\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: New technologies enable earlier disease detection improving outcomes; however, access inequities remain due to availability limitations

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Equal access claim is false; technology availability varies significantly across populations and regions
  • B is incorrect: New technologies demonstrably improve health outcomes through better diagnosis and treatment, not minimal influence
  • D is incorrect: Technologies benefit emergency and essential care, not just elective procedures

Which of the following is an example of a sociocultural determinant of skin cancer?

  1. Peers discouraging sunscreen use
  2. Increased sun exposure for blue-collar workers
  3. Accessing preventative measures through telehealth
  4. Government incentives to cover the cost of skin checks
Show Answers Only

\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Peer influence on health behaviour represents sociocultural determinant affecting sun protection practices

Other Options:

  • B is incorrect: Occupation-related sun exposure is socioeconomic determinant, not sociocultural influence
  • C is incorrect: Telehealth access relates to environmental determinant (healthcare service availability)
  • D is incorrect: Government funding represents socioeconomic determinant through financial healthcare access

Which of the following is an example of applying social justice principles to improve the health of Australians?

  1. Preventing health priorities from being identified
  2. Focusing on curative services to improve the health of Australians
  3. Supporting the health care system to meet the needs of all individuals
  4. Reducing the number of medications on the pharmaceutical benefits scheme
Show Answers Only

\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Ensures equity and access by meeting diverse population needs through inclusive healthcare

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Preventing priority identification contradicts social justice principles of participation and equity
  • B is incorrect: Curative focus alone ignores prevention and equitable access to health promotion
  • D is incorrect: Reducing medications limits access to essential treatments, opposing equity principles

An athlete is preparing for a marathon.

Which training type would be most suited to this athlete?

  1. Aerobic
  2. Anaerobic
  3. Flexibility
  4. Strength
Show Answers Only

\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Marathon running requires sustained aerobic endurance over extended periods. Aerobic training develops cardiovascular fitness and the ability to use oxygen efficiently for prolonged exercise.

Other Options:

  • B is incorrect: Anaerobic training focuses on short bursts of high-intensity activity, not sustained endurance events.
  • C is incorrect: While flexibility is beneficial for injury prevention, it is not the primary training type for marathon preparation.
  • D is incorrect: Strength training supports performance but is secondary to aerobic capacity for marathon success.
