| Alternative method 1 | ||
| \(37 \times 0.25\) or 9.25 | M1 | must be working in £ |
| 312.65 | A1 | condone £312.65p |
| Alternative method 2 | ||
| \(303.4 \div 37 + 0.25\) or 8.45 | M1 | must be working in £ |
| 312.65 | A1 | condone £312.65p |
Additional guidance
| Working in pence must be recovered | |
| eg1 \(\ 37 \times 25 = 925\) | M0 |
| eg2 \(\ 37 \times 25 = 925\) and used as 9.25 | M1 |
| eg3 \(\ 8.20 + 25 = 33.20\) | M0 |
| eg4 \(\ 8.20 + 25 = 8.45\) | M1 |
| Do not accept 7 as a misread of 37 | M0 |
