| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Yes with correct calculations | 3 | M1 for \(768 \div 56\) (= 13.71... or 14) OR \(13 \times 56\) (= 728) or \(14 \times 56\) (= 784) M1 for \((768 - 19) \div 56\) (= 13.375) OR for [\(13 \times 56\) (= 728) or \(14 \times 56\) (= 784)] and \(768 - 19\) (= 749) A1 for correct conclusion from correct calculations, eg Yes, he still needs 14 buses. |
