Hi can someone please explain how this question was answered as I do not uderstand. It shows the pension payment as being multiplied by 1.25 what is the reason for this? Also it is added on to the basic rate. Essentially can someone please explain what the mark scheme is showing, many thanks

I can't answer your question fully but the pension is £224 per month.
My answer sheet shows it multiplied by 12 months to get the annual figure.

£224 x 12 = 2,688
Then 100/80 for the tax = 3,360
