|---|---|
\(0.7 \times 60 \times 22\) (= 924) oe or \((1 - 0.7) \times 60 \times 19\) (= 342) oe OR \(0.7 \times 60 \times \left(22 - \dfrac{780}{60}\right)\) (= 378) oe or \((1 - 0.7) \times 60 \times \left(19 - \dfrac{780}{60}\right)\) (= 108) | M1 |
\(0.7 \times 60 \times 22\) (= 924) oe and \((1 - 0.7) \times 60 \times 19\) (= 342) oe OR \(0.7 \times 60 \times \left(22 - \dfrac{780}{60}\right)\) (= 378) oe and \((1 - 0.7) \times 60 \times \left(19 - \dfrac{780}{60}\right)\) (= 108) | M1 |
eg \(\dfrac{\text{``}{924}\text{''} + \text{``}{342}\text{''} - 780}{780} \times 100\) or \(\dfrac{\text{``}{924}\text{''} + \text{``}{342}\text{''}}{780} \times 100 - 100\) or \(\dfrac{\text{``}{378}\text{''} + \text{``}{108}\text{''}}{780} \times 100\) or \(\dfrac{486}{780} \times 100\) | M1 |
