Additional guidance
| Accept working in percentages | |
| Proportions can be calculated using reciprocals in both Alternative method 1 and Alternative method 2 eg \(231 \div 512\) | |
| 60(%) or 68(%) or 69(%) or 70(%) or 71(%) | M1 |
| (10% = 74.3 followed by) \(\dfrac{512}{74.3} \times 10\) or (10% = 106.5 followed by) \(\dfrac{758}{106.5} \times 10\) is oe for Alternative method 1 | M1 |

Additional guidance
| Accept use of inequality sign or words to imply “Yes” in final answer | |
| Accept –184.62 and –5.72 for first M1 | |
| Accept working in pence to calculate losses for M1 | |
| 2070.55 is total week 1 profit + cost of adverts | |
| Answer of (£)87.71 does not require “Yes” to be stated as the advert cost has been subtracted | M1M1M1A1 |
