QUESTION / VRAAG 2

2.1 R0,9015 × 50 = R45,075

R1,0161 × 300 = R304,83
R1,3594 × 50 = R67,97
Total = R417,875 × 1,15
= R480,55625
≈ R480,60 (4)

2.2 Cost / Koste = 183,9745 kWh × R1,3594 per kWh

= R250,0949353
≈ R250,10 (3)
[07]

QUESTION / VRAAG 3

Total water charge/Totale water koste

B = (6 × R8,28) + (4 × R8,79) + (2 × R15,00)

= R49,68 + R35,16 + R30,00
= R114,84
≈ R114,80 (4)
