| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (Berlin) 120 ÷ 1.16 (= 103.45) | M1 |

Notes
M1: dep on M2 Accept “103.45” – “124.14” or rounded/truncated values
A1: allow 20.68 to 20.7(0)
Alternative
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (Dubai =) 600 × 0.24 (= 144) | M1 |
| “144” – 120 = 24 | M1 |
| “24” ÷ 1.16 | M1 |
| 20.69 | A1 |
M1: dep on M2 for a fully correct method
A1: allow 20.68 to 20.7(0)
