(b) Write 3% as a decimal. [1]
(c)
| \(\dfrac{3}{20}\) | 0·35 | −0·3 | \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) | 0·031 |

| (i) 600 | B1 | |
| (ii) 24 | B1 | Not for 24 × 4 = 96 without indication that 24 is the answer but allow for \(\begin{array}{r}24\\4\overline{)96}\end{array}\) |

| 0.35 | B2 | Allow equivalent correct values e.g. 35%; If 0.35 indicated as answer, ignore working B1 for \(\frac{3}{20}\) = 0.15 or for \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 0.25 or for \(\frac{3}{10}\) = 0.3 or for a comparative statement such as ‘\(\frac{3}{20}\) is less than \(\frac{3}{10}\)’ or for two correct percentages from 15%, 35%, -30%, 25%, 3.1% and 30% or for two correct fractions with a common denominator |
