| \(2600 \div (3 + 2 + 5)\) or 260 | M1 | oe |
| their \(260 \times 5\) | M1dep | oe \(2600 \div 2\) implies M2 |
| 1300 | A1 | SC2 780 or 520 or 6500 |

| SC2 is for working out the number of teas / hot chocolates or for the misconception that 2600 was the number of hot chocolates | |
| Answer 780 : 1300 : 520 | M1M1A0 |
