Yes indicated and an appropriate calculation or statement seen to compare cinema and trampolining e.g. ‘because 3/10 = 30% (which is more than 20%)’ ‘because 20% = 2/10 (which is less than 3/10)’ ‘because 0.3 is bigger than 0.2’ ‘because 3/10 of 30 = 9 and 20% of 30 = 6’ Because if there were 10 friends, cinema would be 3 and trampolining would be 2’ Because if there were 100 friends, cinema would be 30 and trampolining would be 20’ ‘because it is 10% more’	E1	Allow 30 for 30% e.g. ‘yes as 30 is more than 20’ but do not allow 30 people Do not accept: No indicated ‘20% = 1/5’ alone ‘Because 3 is bigger than 2’ unless they state there are 10 friends
