QUESTION 1 [36]
Ques Solution Explanation Topic
F
1.1.1 R 360 ÷ R1,0746 M 1M identify R1,0746 L2
(a) = 335,008 kWh A 1A number of units
MA 1MA adding
New reading = 10,3 kWh + 335,0 kWh
= 345,3 kWh
OR MA OR
Number of units purchased = 345,3 kWh – 10,3 kWh 1MA difference in
= 335 kWh units
Cost = 335 kWh × R1,0746 M 1M identify tariff
= R359,99
≈ R360 A 1A amount purchased
(3)
F
1.1.1 14 1MA multiply L2
(b) VAT amount = R 360 × MA
114
= R44,210526 A 1A VAT
= R44,21 R 1R rounding
OR OR
R360 = 114% 𝑥 𝑥 is amount without VAT
M 1M proportion method
x = R360 × 100 ÷ 114
= R315,79 (excl. VAT) A 1A amount excl. VAT
VAT amount = R360 – R315,79
= R44,21 A 1A amount of VAT
Answer only
