Amount in S$ = 2500x1.243=3107.50
For Bank B,
Amount in S$ 2500x1.249 = S$3122.50
Commission = 3122.50x0.005=15.6125
Amount in S$ after the deduction of commission
= 3122.50-15.6125
= 3106.89

Many students failed to use a flexi curve to draw the graph. As such, the curvature was not
properly presented and the curve was not smooth. Marks were deducted for crooked curves and
curves with bad curvature. Students are advised to calculate additional points for better accuracy.
All lines and curves should be properly labelled with its equation.
