Apart from questions 8ab, 9, 11b, 15a, 19b, 20 the correct answer, unless clearly obtained by an incorrect method, should be taken to
imply a correct method

within range and attempt to add or for at least
[lower bound products are: 0, 180, 480, 810, 240] 4 correct products without addition)
[upper bound products are: 150, 360, 720, 1080, 300]
Correct answer scores full marks (unless from 2160 A1 (an answer of 72 loses the final A mark but
obvious incorrect working) gains M2)
