| \(200 - \dfrac{1}{4} \times 200 - \dfrac{30}{100} \times 200\) or equivalent (= 200 – 50 – 60) OR \(\dfrac{45}{100} \times 200\) or equivalent | M2 | Award M2 for a complete method which may be seen in stages Award M1 for 200 – \(x\) – 60 or 200 – 50 – \(y\) or equivalent if method not seen. If no marks award SC1 for 50 + 60 (= 110) or for sight of 45% or equivalent |
