| Alternative method 1 | ||
| \(280 \div 35\) or 8 | M1 | oe eg \(80 \div 10\) |
| \((350 - 280) \div (40 - 35)\) or \(70 \div 5\) or 14 | M1 | oe |
| 6 | A1 | |
| Alternative method 2 | ||
| 320 or \(350 - 320\) or 30 or \(350 - 280\) and \(320 - 280\) or 70 and 40 | M1 | oe |
| \((350 - 320) \div 5\) or \((70 - 40) \div 5\) or \(30 \div 5\) | M1dep | oe |
| 6 | A1 | |
Additional guidance
Do not allow a misread from the graph
Alt 2 40 must come from \(320 - 280\) and not 40 hours worked
