| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| \(\dfrac{3}{5}\) | M1 | for a start in the method eg \(35 + 50 + 75\ (= 160)\) or \(400 - 35 - 50 - 75\ (= 240)\) or \(\dfrac{160}{400}\) oe |
| M1 | for eg \(\dfrac{400 - \text{``}160\text{''}}{400}\) or \(\dfrac{2}{5}\) or \(1 - \dfrac{160}{400}\) or for an unsimplified answer eg \(\dfrac{\text{``}240\text{''}}{400}\) oe or as 60% oe | |
