Foundation June 2025 Paper 1 Q7
7 There are only 10p coins, 20p coins, 50p coins and £1 coins in a bag.
The bar chart shows information about the number of 10p coins and the number of 20p coins in the bag.

There are eight 50p coins in the bag.
There are three £1 coins in the bag.
(a) Use this information to complete the bar chart. (2)
(b) Show that the total amount of money in the bag is less than £10 (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Completed bar chart | B2 | for a fully correct bar chart |
| (B1 | for one bar correct, eg ‘50p’ plotted at 8 or ‘£1’ plotted at 3 or both reversed ie ‘50p’ plotted at 3 and ‘£1’ plotted at 8) |
Additional guidance
Condone bars of unequal width
Condone no gaps or inconsistent gaps

|---|---|---|
| Shown | M1 | for method to find total amount of at least two coin types, from \(10\text{(p)} \times 12\ (= 120\text{(p)})\), \(20\text{(p)} \times 7\ (= 140\text{(p)})\), \(50\text{(p)} \times 8\ (= 400\text{(p)})\), \((\text{£})1 \times 3\ (= 300\text{(p) or (£)}3)\) |
| M1 | for a complete method to find the total amount of money e.g. \(\text{``}120\text{''} + \text{``}140\text{''} + \text{``}400\text{''} + \text{``}300\text{''}\ (= 960)\) or \(\text{``}1.20\text{''} + \text{``}1.40\text{''} + \text{``}4\text{''} + \text{``}3\text{''}\ (= 9.60)\) | |
| C1 | (dep on method shown for totals for at least two coin types or separate correct totals for at least two coin types) showing correct comparable figures eg (£)9.6(0) or 960(p) and 1000(p) or (£)0.4(0) or 40p |
Additional guidance
Accept mixed units for both method marks
e.g. 10p x 12 (= 120), 20 x 7 (= 1.4), 50(p) x 8 (= 4), 1 x 3 (= 300)
Accept mixed units for both method marks
e.g. 120 + 140 + 4 + 3 (= 9.60)
Answer must be in consistent units
9.60 oe alone with no working will score M1M1
