| e.g. 20 × 9 (= 180) or 20 × 0.9 (= 18) or 20 × 1.8 (= 36) or (4 × 25) + (4 × 20) (= 180) oe or 4 × 0.9 (= 3.6) or 4 × 1.8 (7.2) | M1 |
| e.g. 5 × 16 + 5 × 50 + 10 × 33 + 10 × 19 + 25 × 9 (= 1075) or 5 × 1.6 + 5 × 5 + 10 × 3.3 + 10 × 1.9 + 25 × 0.9 (= 107.5) or 5 × 3.2 + 5 × 10 + 10 × 6.6 + 10 × 3.8 + 25 × 1.8 (= 215) or (3×25 + 5) + (10×25) + (12×25 + 2×15) + (6×25 + 2×20) + (5×25 + 5×20) (= 1075) or 1 × 1.6 + 1 × 5 + 2 × 3.3 + 2 × 1.9 + 5 × 0.9 (= 21.5) or 1 × 3.2 + 1 × 10 + 2 × 6.6 + 2 × 3.8 + 5 × 1.8 (= 43) | M1 |
e.g. \(\dfrac{180}{1075}(\times 100)\) or \(\dfrac{18}{107.5}(\times 100)\) or \(\dfrac{36}{215}(\times 100)\) or \(\dfrac{3.6}{21.5}(\times 100)\) or \(\dfrac{7.2}{43}(\times 100)\) or 0.167(441…) (× 100) | M1 |

Notes
M1: for a method to find the area of the 55 - 75 bar
M1: for a method to find the total area
Using 5 bars (products or areas)
eg 80 + 250 + 330 + 190 + 225 or
16 + 50 + 66 + 38 + 45
allow one error or omission
Using 6 bars (products or areas)
eg 80 + 250 + 330 + 190 + 45 + “180” or
16 + 50 + 66 + 38 + 9 + “36”
allow one error or omission
M1: for a method to find a fraction aged 55+ or percentage aged 55+ using all correct values only
A1: awrt 16.7
