| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 750 ÷ 300 × 20 or equivalent | M1 | Or 20 + 20 + 10 or for sight of 2½ (batches) |
| 50 | A1 |
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| (flour left =) 1800 – 750 or 1050 | M1 | |
| 1050 ÷ 200 or 200 × 5 (= 1000) | m1 | or equivalent; FT ‘their 1800 – 750’; may be implied by e.g. 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 |
| 5 | A1 | Not from wrong working; an answer of 5.25 is M1 m1 A0 only. |

Corrected by Westie's Workshop
- The board's mark scheme printed “M1 M1 A0”. Changed to “M1 m1 A0” because the second method mark in this scheme is the dependent mark m1 (the total of 2 marks is the same).
Original: see the board's mark scheme PDF (link above).
