You must show how you get your answer. (4)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Yes with correct figures | P1 | begins to work with proportion eg \(20 \div 2\) (=10) or \(20 \div 5\) (=4) or \(2.38 \div 2\) (=1.19) or \(5.60 \div 5\) (=1.12) |
| P1 | full process to find the cost of 20 pens or 20 folders eg. \(20 \div 2 \times 2.38\) (=23.8) or \(20 \div 5 \times 5.60\) (=22.4) or \(2.38 \div 2 \times 20\) (=23.8) or \(5.60 \div 5 \times 20\) (=22.4) | |
| P1 | full process to find total price or amount remaining eg \(\text{``}23.8\text{''} + \text{``}22.4\text{''}\) (=46.2) or \(50 - \text{``}23.8\text{''} - \text{``}22.4\text{''}\) (=3.8) | |
| C1 | Yes with correct figures eg 46.2 or 3.8 (left) |
Additional guidance
Throughout monetary units not required; trailing zeros not needed.
Can work in pence throughout
‘Yes’ might be implied from working eg \(46.2 \lt 50\) or a statement that 3.8 is left, but 46.2 alone must also show an answer such as ‘Yes’ (may be written elsewhere).
Working leading to 46.2 must be shown for this mark.
