To estimate how much money was spent on vaccines, we first need to determine the number of people vaccinated for each type of vaccine.
-
Calculate the total number of people vaccinated:
- Wednesday: 52 people
- Thursday: 58 people
- Friday: 43 people
Total = 52 + 58 + 43 = 153 people
-
Since approximately half received flu vaccines and the other half received hepatitis vaccines:
- Number of flu vaccines = 153 / 2 ≈ 76.5 (we can round this to 76 for the calculation)
- Number of hepatitis vaccines = 153 - 76 = 77
-
Calculate the cost for each type of vaccine:
- Cost of flu vaccines: \[ 76 \text{ vaccines} \times R49.00/\text{vaccine} = R3,724.00 \]
- Cost of hepatitis vaccines: \[ 77 \text{ vaccines} \times R98.00/\text{vaccine} = R7,546.00 \]
-
Now add the costs of both vaccines: \[ R3,724.00 + R7,546.00 = R11,270.00 \]
Thus, the estimated total amount spent on vaccines is R11,270.00.
