| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 720 ÷ 12 (= 60) or 78 × 12 (= 936) | M1 |
78 – ‘60’ (= 18) or ‘936’ – 720 (= 216) or ‘\(x\)’ × 720 = 936 or \(720\left(1 + \dfrac{P}{100}\right) = \text{‘}936\text{’}\) or (‘\(x\)’ =) \(\dfrac{\text{‘}936\text{’}}{720}\) (= 1.3) oe | M1 |
\(\dfrac{\text{‘}18\text{’}}{60} \times 100\) or \(\dfrac{\text{‘}216\text{’}}{720} \times 100\) or ‘1.3’ × 100 − 100 oe or (1.3 − 1) × 100 | M1 |
