Mark Scheme

1. (a) 0.6, 60% [1]
(b) 6/25, 24% [1]
(c) 0.35, 7/20 [1]
(d) 62.5%, 5/8 [1]
2. 3/8 = 0.375, 36% = 0.36; So 36%, 3/8, 0.37 [2]
3. (a) 0.15 × 240 = £36 [1]
(b) 0.08 × 450 = 36 kg [1]
(c) (18/45) × 100 = 40% [1]
(d) 27 ÷ 0.30 = 90 [1]
4. (a) 80 × 0.75 = £60 [1]
(b) 60 ÷ 0.75 = £80 [1]
5. (a) 200,000 × 1.05 = £210,000 [1]
(b) 200,000 × (1.05)³ = £231,525.25 [2]
