Foundation June 2025 Paper 2 Q17
17 A village hall needs a new heating system.
The cost of the heating system is £9000
A community grant will pay 85% of this cost.
The village council will pay the rest of the cost.
Work out how much the village council will pay. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 1350 | P1 | for working with percentage, eg \(85 \div 100 \times 9000\ (= 7650)\) or \((100 - 85) \div 100\ (= 0.15)\) oe |
| P1 | for a complete process, eg \(9000 - \text{``}7650\text{''}\) or \((100 - 85) \div 100 \times 9000\) | |
| A1 | cao |
Additional guidance
Allow \(\dfrac{15}{100}\) and 15%
but not 15 alone
15% \(\times\) 9000 is not acceptable unless correctly evaluated
