| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | P1 | for a beginning process, eg \(1800 - (1800 \times 0.56)\) oe or \(1800 \times (1 - 0.56)\ (= 792)\) or \(1800 \div 100 \times 56 \div 66\ (= 15.272\ldots)\) or \(1800 \div 66\ (=27.272\ldots)\) or [44%] \(\div\, 66\) |
| P1 | for a complete process, eg \(\text{``}792\text{''} \div 66\) or \(\text{``}27.272\ldots\text{''} \times (1 - 0.56)\) oe or \(\text{``}27.272\ldots\text{''} - \text{``}15.272\ldots\text{''}\) | |
| A1 | cao |
Additional guidance
[44%] is the value they clearly believe to be 44% of 1800
