Ken buys
| 4 apples | weighing 125 g each |
| 2 bananas | weighing 170 g each |
| 3 peaches | weighing 135 g each |
Each orange has a weight of 90 g.
The fruit has a total weight of 1.785 kg.
(a) Work out how many oranges Ken buys. (3)
Jane wants to buy 15 tomatoes.
She asks for 1 kg of tomatoes at a shop.
Jane assumes that each tomato has a weight of 75 g.
(b)

| Working | Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | P1 | for process to find the total weight of one type of fruit eg \(4 \times 125\ (= 500)\) or \(2 \times 170\ (= 340)\) or \(3 \times 135\ (= 405)\) or 1245 | |
| \(1785 - 1245 = 540\) | P1 | complete process to find the total weight of oranges eg \(\text{``}1785\text{''} - (\text{``}500\text{''} + \text{``}340\text{''} + \text{``}405\text{''})\) or sight of digits 54 or answer given as 0.6 or 60 | |
| \(540 \div 90\) | A1 | cao SC B1 for answer of 15 |
| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| (i) No (supported) | P1 | Starts process, eg \(1000 \div 75\) (digits 13(.3..) seen) or \(15 \times 75\ (= 1125)\) or 1.125 or showing \(1000 \div 15\ (= 66(.6..))\) or counts to 975 or 1050 |
| C1 | “No” with correct working eg as evidenced by work from P1 mark. | |
| (ii) Comment | C1 | for valid comment, eg may get enough tomatoes if tomatoes weigh less than assumed (75g), not if weight is more than 75g. |
