You must show all your working. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 15% of 88 from correct figures | P1 | for first step towards finding comparable figures, eg \(\dfrac{15}{100} \times 88\ (= 13.2)\) oe or \(\dfrac{20}{100} \times 62\ (= 12.4)\) oe OR \(15 \times 88\ (= 1320)\) or \(20 \times 62\ (= 1240)\) |
| P1 | for process to find two comparable figures, eg \(\dfrac{15}{100} \times 88\ (= 13.2)\) oe and \(\dfrac{20}{100} \times 62\ (= 12.4)\) oe OR \(15 \times 88\ (= 1320)\) and \(20 \times 62\ (= 1240)\) | |
| C1 | 15% of 88 from 13.2 oe and 12.4 oe OR 15% of 88 from 1320 and 1240 |
Additional guidance
Must have correct figures.
Ignore an incorrect difference after a correct decision from correct figures unless it contradicts.
