I am assuming that you are referring to the BPP Revision Kit.
It is an error in the answer.
It does say “plus fair value of NCI at acquisition”, and that is correct – we do add it.
However in the arithmetic they have subtracted it and that is a mistake.
(If you follow the instructions printed inside the front cover of the Revision Kit to access the Exam Success Site, then you should find an errata sheet listing any mistakes in the book.)

If it not given then you can calculate it yourself because in the SOFP of the parent company it will state how many shares they own in the subsidiary, and in the SOFP of the subsidiary company it will state how many shares they have in issue in total.
