simple atom economy - how are all of these wrong?



for a) I did: (55.8x2) / 243.6 x100 = 45.8%, however the mark scheme says 51.7%

for b) 204.4 / (428.4) x 100 = 46.6%, mark scheme says 17%

these questions are of the alevelchemistry website and so I don't think they all are wrong, but I'm not sure where I've made a mistake, thanks!
