Mark scheme

Answer	Mark	Mark scheme
19.85	P1	for a start to the process eg \(30 \div 6\) (=5) or \(30 \div 15\) (=2) or \(30 \div 10\) (=3) OR \(30 \times 37\) (=1110) OR \(82 \div 6\) (=13.6 to 13.7) or \(45 \div 15\) (=3) or \(1.25 \div 10\) (=0.125)
	P1	for process to find cost of 30 pens or 30 pencils or 30 rulers eg \(\text{``}5\text{''} \times 82\ (= 410)\) or \(\text{``}2\text{''} \times 45\ (= 90)\) or \(\text{``}3\text{''} \times 1.25\ (= 3.75)\) OR \(\text{``}13.6..\text{''} \times 30\) (=409.8 to 410) or \(\text{``}3\text{''} \times 30\) (=90) or \(\text{``}0.125\text{''} \times 30\) (=3.75)
	P1	for a process to find cost of 2 of 30 pens or 30 pencils or 30 rulers eg any 2 of \(\text{``}5\text{''} \times 82\ (= 410)\), \(\text{``}2\text{''} \times 45\ (= 90)\), \(\text{``}3\text{''} \times 1.25\ (= 3.75)\)
	P1	for adding at least 3 different costs (units may not be consistent) eg \(\text{``}410\text{''} + \text{``}90\text{''} + \text{``}3.75\text{''}\) or \(\text{``}410\text{''} + \text{``}90\text{''} + \text{``}11.10\text{''}\)

Work may be in pence or in pounds

Intention to add not necessary eg 410, 3.75 is sufficient, or working leading to these figures
Any two correct methods will imply P1P1P1

Correct working for 3 of pens, pencils, rulers and pencil cases with an intention to add, may be in a mixture of money units
