Notes for Marking
- Accept answers in cents (¢) or dollars ($) where appropriate, as long as the unit is clearly stated.
- For questions requiring working, award process marks even if the final answer is incorrect, provided the method is correct.
- Common errors to watch for:
- Confusing the number of coins with the value of coins (e.g., "5 coins" vs "5 cents").
- Not converting between cents and dollars correctly (100¢ = $1.00).
- Subtraction errors in change problems — encourage students to check by adding the change back to the cost.
