3. (a) After an 11% pay-cut, Mr Tans pay was reduced to $ 2,800. Find his original pay. [2]
(b) Mr Heng bought a car whose cash price is $144 000.
Since he could not afford to pay the total sum by cash, he paid a down payment of $30 000 and took a loan to pay for the balance at a compound interest rate of 2.5% per year for a 5-year period. Calculate how much more Mr Heng paid for the car in compound interest loan terms compared to cash terms. [3]

Seven small circles, each with the same radius r cm, are enclosed within a larger circle.
The small circle, centre O, touches the other six small circles.
These six small circles each touch three small circles and the large circle, the centre of
which is also O. A and B are the centres of three of the small circles.
