| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Shown | M1 | for a method to find the total cost for footballs, hockey sticks or cricket bats, eg \(9.5 \times 5\ (= 47.5)\) or \((6 \div 2) \times 30\ (= 90)\) or \(23 \times 2\ (= 46)\) OR begins to work with budget, eg \(200 - 5\ (= 195)\) |
| M1 | for a method to find the total cost for two of footballs, hockey sticks or cricket bats, eg two from \(9.5 \times 5\ (= 47.5)\) or \((6 \div 2) \times 30\ (= 90)\) or \(23 \times 2\ (= 46)\) OR works with budget and total cost for one of footballs, hockey sticks or cricket bats, eg \(200 - \text{``}47.5\text{''}\) | |
| M1 | for a complete method to find comparable figures, eg \(9.5 \times 5 + (6 \div 2) \times 30 + 23 \times 2 + 5\) or \(\text{``}47.5\text{''} + \text{``}90\text{''} + \text{``}46\text{''} + 5\) or \(200 - (9.5 \times 5 + (6 \div 2) \times 30 + 23 \times 2 + 5)\) or \(200 - \text{``}188.5\text{''}\) | |
| C1 | shows correct figures for a conclusion eg (£)188.5(0) or (£)11.5(0) |
