Hello sir, i hope you are doing well!
My question is should we show the calculations for ratios in Section B questions for AA.
For example if the gross profit margin is 33%; then just typing 33% in Section B is enough? Or do i have to show the entire calculation (33/100)*100 =33%.
I end up taking more time to show the entire calculation and given the time limit; it is very important to know its need in a constructed response question.
Thank you
Workings are necessary to be awarded “partial credit” if the answer given is wrong. So where the answer is so obviously correct, as in your example, you wouldn’t have to show it.
If not so obvious, I would present as % (W), e.g. 33% (30/100)
You don’t need the “* 100 =”
Ok sir, got it.
Thank you
You’re very welcome!
