Work out how much money each person receives. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 1380 2070 3450 | M1 | for beginning to work with ratio, eg \(6900 \div (2 + 3 + 5)\ (= 690)\) or \(6900 \div 2\ (= 3450)\) or \(6900 \div 5\ (= 1380)\) or one accurate value correctly assigned |
| M1 | for full method to find the value for two people, eg two of: \(\text{``}690\text{''} \times 2\ (= 1380)\) or \(\text{``}690\text{''} \times 3\ (= 2070)\) or \(\text{``}690\text{''} \times 5\ (= 3450)\) or \((6900 - \text{``}3450\text{''}) \div 5 \times 2\ (= 1380)\) or \((6900 - \text{``}3450\text{''}) \div 5 \times 3\ (= 2070)\) or \((6900 - \text{``}1380\text{''}) \div 8 \times 3\ (= 2070)\) or \((6900 - \text{``}1380\text{''}) \div 8 \times 5\ (= 3450)\) or \(6900 \div 2\ (= 3450)\) and \(6900 \div 5\ (= 1380)\) | |
| A1 | for Sid (£) 1380 Tam (£) 2070 Musa (£) 3450 If M1M0, award SCB2 for Sid (£) 3450 Tam (£) 2070 Musa (£) 1380 |
Additional guidance
Award M0 for a correct value assigned to an incorrect person
Award M0 for a correct value assigned to an incorrect person
Correct values not assigned or assigned to an incorrect person, coming from an incorrect method,
eg (Sid =) \(6900 \div 2 = 3450\) and (Tam =) \(6900 \div 3 = 2300\) and (Musa =) \(6900 \div 5 = 1380\)
