\(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 4.8 \times 2.5\) (= 6) oe and 3 × 4.8 (= 14.4) oe or [4.8 × (3 + 2.5)] – [0.5 × 2.4 × 2.5 + 0.5 × 2.4 × 2.5] or “26.4” – 6 (= 20.4) or | M1 |
(“6” + “14.4”) ÷ 1.8 (= 11.3…) or “20.4” ÷ 1.8 (= 11.3…) or \(\dfrac{\text{“}6\text{”}}{1.8} + \dfrac{\text{“}8\text{”}}{1.8}\;(3.3... + 8 = 11.3...)\) | M1 |

Notes
M1: dep on M1 for a method to find the number of tins for their area
M1: dep on previous M1 for a method to calculate the cost for their number of tins (their number of tins must be rounded up to the next integer)
or
the number of tins that can be bought compared with their number of tins
A1: dep on M2
SC B1 for 190 ÷ 16.4(0) if M0 scored
