| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| (i) 8 | B1 | |
| (ii) 180 | B1 | |
| (iii) Sight of total 403 | B1 | FT ‘their 180’ + 223 |
| (100 ×) \(\dfrac{15}{403}\) or (100 ×) 15 ÷ 403 | M1 | FT correctly evaluated ‘their 180’ + 223 |
| 3.7 (%) | A2 | Mark final answer A1 for 3.72(...%) or from correct working 4(%) If no marks, award SC1 for 100 ×15 ÷‘their total’ correctly evaluated or SC2 for this answer rounded correctly to 1 decimal place (Note: SC1 for 100 × 15 ÷ 388 = 3.8(6...%) or SC2 if rounded to 3.9(%)) |
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 72 000 | B1 |

|---|---|---|
| Sight of 9.95 (m) or 99.95(m) or 995 (cm) or 9995 (cm) | B1 | If units are given they must be correct |
| (Least length) 9.95 + 99.95 + 9.95 or equivalent in cm | M1 | FT ‘their least measurements’ x and y, provided 9.9 (m) ≤ x <10(m) and 99.9 (m) ≤ y <100(m) as appropriate |
| 119.85 (m) | A1 | CAO Award all 3 marks for a correct response If no marks, award SC1 for an answer of 118.5(m) or 119.985(m) or (9.95 + 9.95 + 99.5 =) 119.4(m) |
