| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2975.79 | P1 | for process to find total room cost eg \(196 \times 14\ (= 2744)\) |
| P1 | for process to find total wifi cost eg \(5 \times 12\ (= 60)\) | |
| P1 | for using exchange rate appropriately (could be used earlier in the question), eg \(\text{``}2804\text{''} \div 1.90\) (= (£)1475.789...) or \(1500 \times 1.90\) (= ($)2850) | |
| P1 | for process to find the total cost in £, eg \(\text{``}1475.79(..)\text{''} + 1500\) or in $, eg \(\text{``}2850\text{''} + \text{``}2804\text{''}\ (= 5654)\) | |
