| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | M1 | for \(80 - 56\ (= 24)\) or for \(\dfrac{56}{80} \times 100\ (= 70)\) or (loss of) 10% = \(80 \div 10\ (= 8)\) |
| M1 | for a complete method, eg \(\text{``}24\text{''} \div 80 \times 100\) or \(100 - \text{``}70\text{''}\) or \((80 - 56) \div \text{``}8\text{''} \times 10\) | |
