QUESTION 2
2.1 Ms Fasi started a small business by selling pies at schools and factories close to her
workplace. She pays rent of R1 500 per month. It costs her R5,00 to make and package
a pie and she sells them at R15,00 each.

Income in Rand 0 750 1 500 2 250 B 5 250
The following formulae are used to calculate the cost and income respectively:
Cost = R1 500 + R5,00 ൈn
Income = R15,00ൈ n; where n represents the number of pies
2.1.1 Use the table to determine Ms Fasi’s break-even amount. (2)
2.1.2 Calculate the value of A. (3)
2.1.3 Show by means of calculations that the value of B is R3 750. (2)
