- A bar of soap costs £2.20
- A basket costs £7
Dan buys two packs of pegs, one bar of soap and one basket.
What fraction of the total cost is the cost of the basket? [3 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0.4 or 0.8 or 220 or 700 | M1 | oe |
| \(2.2 + 2 \times 0.4 + 7\) or 10 or 1000 | M1 | oe allow mixed units 10 or 1000 implies M2 |
| \(\dfrac{7}{10}\) or \(\dfrac{700}{1000}\) | A1 | oe fraction SC2 0.7(0) or 70% |
Additional guidance
| Ignore simplification attempts after a correct fraction is seen | |
| \(\dfrac{7}{10}\) in working with 0.7 on answer line | M1M1A0 |
| Condone eg 0.80p for first M1 | |
| Do not allow eg £220 for first M1 |
