| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Rahim (supported) | P1 | for start to the process to find 20% for Tamara, eg \(220000 \times 0.2\) oe \((= 44000)\) or 30% for Rahim, eg \(160000 \times 0.3\) oe \((= 48000)\) OR for \(1 - 0.2\ (= 0.8)\) or \(100 - 20\ (= 80)\) or \(1 + 0.3\ (= 1.3)\) or \(100 + 30\ (= 130)\) |
| P1 | for a complete process to find at least one new value, eg \(220000 - \text{``}44000\text{''}\ (= 176000)\) or \(160000 + \text{``}48000\text{''}\ (= 208000)\) OR \(220000 \times \text{``}0.8\text{''}\ (= 176000)\) or \(160000 \times \text{``}1.3\text{''}\ (= 208000)\) | |
| A1 | for one correct value, 176 000 or 208 000 | |
| C1 | for correct conclusion supported by correct figures eg Rahim, 176 000 and 208 000 |
