15% of the 80 children chose a guitar.
How many children is this?
(d) Award TWO marks for the correct answer of 12, even if there are errors in the working.
Award ONE mark if the answer is incorrect, but there is evidence of an attempt to calculate 15% of 80 by any method, eg:
· 15/100 × 80 = (incorrect answer given)· 10% of 80 = 8, 5% is 4, so 15% of 80 = (incorrect answer given)· 1% of 80 = 80/100 = 4/5, so 15% = 4/5 × 15 = (incorrect answer given)
The writing of “15/100 × 80” (or equivalent) alone is not sufficient evidence of an attempt to calculate.

There are 80 children in Year 6.
Estimate the number of children who chose a violin. Explain how you decided.
(c) The explanation should make reference, in some form, to appropriate fractional estimates, eg:
·“Because it looks like a quarter of a half and that’s 10.”“I thought the violin looked like half the trumpet and that was about a quarter.”“I decided this because 1/4 was 20 children, so I halved 20 and made it 10.”
Explanations which lack specific reference to appropriate fractions should not be awarded the mark, eg:
“Because it’s a bit less than the trumpet.”“Because there are 6 parts to the pie chart.”

Paper and C ard
C The family throws away 130 kg of paper and card.
70% of this is newspapers.What is the weight of newspapers in kg?
1% of 130 kg = 1.3kg
10% of 130 kg = 13kg
70% = 100% - 30% so
30% of 130kg = 39kg
70% = 100% - 30% so
70% = ?kg
(You could get the same answer by finding 10% and multiplying it by 7 to get 70%)

Calculate 7/8 of 5000
1999 Mathematics Paper B Q19
Next Page
Calculate 7/8 of 5000Two approaches:
Find 1/8 of 5000 then multiply to get 7/8
5000 ÷ 8 = 625
625 x 7 = 4375
Second approach: use decimal fractions 7/8 = 0.875
0.875 x 5000 = 4375

Calculate 60% of 765.
Best method?
1% of 765 = 7.65
60 lots of 1% = 60 x 7.65

A 10 children like chips best. Chips = 2 divisions = 8 children = False
B 25% of the children like mashed potatoes best.Two sections = 1 quarter = 25% = True
of the children like roast potatoes best.1 section prefer roast = 1/8 = False
D 12 children like jacket potatoes best.3 sections = 3 x 4 = 12 = True
C

30% of 60 is
(a) 18Do not accept 18% Method 1: use decimal fractions & calculator
30% = 0.30
0.30 x 60 = 18
Method 2: Find 1% and multiply
1% of 60 = 0.6
30 lots of 1% = 30 x 0.6 = 18

(b) 200Method 1: use decimal fractions & calculator
30% = 0.30
0.30 x ?? = 60 rearrange 0.30 x 60 = ?? = 200
Method 2: Find 1% and multiply
30% = 60 so 10% = 20 and 1% = 2
100 lots of 1% = 2 x 100 = 200
