|---|---|---|
| 35 | P1 | for process to find income and outgoings, eg \(7.5(0) \times 54\ (= 405)\) and \(100 + 120 + 80\ (= 300)\) |
| P1 | For process to find the profit, eg \(\text{``}405\text{''} - \text{``}300\text{''}\ (= 105)\) or \(\text{``}405\text{''} \div \text{``}300\text{''}\ (= 1.35)\) or \(\text{``}405\text{''} \div \text{``}300\text{''} \times 100\ (= 135)\) | |
| P1 | for a full process to find percentage profit, eg \((\text{``}105\text{''} \div \text{``}300\text{''}) \times 100\) or \((\text{``}1.35\text{''} - 1) \times 100\) or \(\text{``}135\text{''} - 100\) | |
