	41%	and	35%	and	(45%)
OR	\(\dfrac{41}{100}\)	and	\(\dfrac{35}{100}\)	and	\(\dfrac{45}{100}\)
OR	(0·41)	and	0·35	and	0·45

OR three correct calculations for a common amount.

Award B2 for one of the following:

all correct % (\(\tfrac{41}{100}\) and \(\tfrac{35}{100}\) must be shown as 41% or 35%)
all correct fractions with a common denominator (could include decimals as numerators and denominators)
all correct decimals
correct work using a common amount
a valid combination that allows full comparison (e.g. \(\tfrac{7}{20}\) = 0·35 and 0·41 = 41%).

Award B1 for one of the following:

one correct conversion (percentage or decimal)
two correct fractions with a common denominator
two correct calculations for a common amount.

45% 0·41 \(\dfrac{7}{20}\) in order

Allow any unambiguous indication (e.g. ‘converted’ values.)

If first B1 awarded then allow a strict FT of ‘their work’ for a possible final B1.

If first B0 awarded, then award the final B1 for a correct final answer, only if:

no incorrect conversions seen (e.g just 45/100 given), OR
an unsupported correct final answer seen.
