Calculate the volume (in mm?) of each crate.
The following formula may be used:
Volume of a rectangular prism = length x width x height (3)
The manager stated that all 80 crates can be packed in a 2 m = 2 m area in
the store room. (Assume that the height of the store room is adequate for
9 stacked crates.)
Verify if this statement is CORRECT. Show ALL calculations (7)
The cost price of the delivery of 80 crates of bread is RS 350,00.
Each crate contains 8 loaves of bread.
The supermarket sells each loaf of bread for R11,50.
The proportional fixed cost for this delivery of bread is R1 720,70.
Calculate the number of loaves of bread that Meloding Supermarket has to
sell in order to break even.
The following formula may be used:
Number of loaves to break even = Fe

Francis obtained a quotation for the installation of the laminated flooring in
the dining room, living room and passage. An insulation sheet (underlayer)
has to be placed on the floor before the laminated flooring is placed on top.
A summary of the labour and materials quotation is as follows:
Labour:
¢ RI 600 for removal of existing carpets and preparation of floor
e R70,00 per square metre for installation of laminated flooring
Materials:
¢ R299,90 per box of laminated flooring, where each box covers 2,15 m?
¢ R56,90 per roll of underlayer insulation that covers 10 m2
Francis budgeted R12 000 to complete the entire job.
