14 120 boxes cost £6
270 bags cost £10
A bag is cheaper than a box.
How much cheaper?
Give your answer in pence correct to 1 decimal place. (4)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 1.3 | M1 | for working with boxes or bags eg \(600 \div 120\ (= 5)\) or \(1000 \div 270\ (= 3.7(037..))\) \(6 \div 120\ (=0.05)\) or \(10 \div 270\ (= 0.037(037..))\) |
| M1 | for working with bags and boxes where they are working to the same quantities of boxes and bags eg \(600 \div 120\ (= 5)\) and \(1000 \div 270\ (= 3.7(037..))\) \(6 \div 120\ (=0.05)\) and \(10 \div 270\ (= 0.037(037..))\) | |
| M1 | for finding the difference eg \(\text{``}5\text{''} - \text{``}3.7(037..)\text{''}\ (= 1.29.. \text{ to } 1.3)\) or \(\text{``}0.05\text{''} - \text{``}0.037(037..)\text{''}\ (= 0.0129.. \text{ to } 0.013)\) | |
| A1 | for answer in the range 1.29 to 1.3 |
Additional guidance
Cost ÷ quantity
For the M marks allow working in £ instead of p.
Other values are possible where they are using alternative quantities of boxes and bags, but these must be the same quantities of each.
Must have consistent units for this mark.
If an answer is given in the range in working and then rounded incorrectly award full marks.
