Rachel gets \(\dfrac{2}{5}\) of the £600
Samina gets \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) of the money that is left over.

| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| No (supported) | P1 | for a process to find Rachel’s share, eg \(600 \div 5 \times 2\ (= 240)\) |
| P1 | for process to find Samina’s share eg \((600 - \text{``}240\text{''}) \div 4\ (= 90)\) | |
| P1 | for a process to find either of Tom’s share, eg \(600 - \text{``}240\text{''} - \text{``}90\text{''}\ (= 270)\) or \(3 \times \text{``}90\text{''}\ (= 270)\) or \(600 \div 3\ (= 200)\) for comparison purposes | |
| C1 | for “No” and accurate figures eg 270 and 200 or 270 and 70 (difference) |
