( d ) Toffees cost t cents each and pieces of fudge cost f cents each.

Tjaa buys 8 toffees and 3 pieces of fudge.

( i ) Write down the total cost, in cents, in terms of t and f.

( 2 )

( ii ) Write down the total cost in Namibia dollars.

( 2 )

( iii ) Find the total cost, in N$, when t = 50 and f = 75.

( 2 )
( e ) Find the values of x if (x + 4)(x - 5) = 0.

1 answer

(i) Total cost = 8t + 3f cents

(ii) To convert the total cost to Namibia dollars, we need to divide by 100 since 100 cents = 1 N$. So, the total cost in Namibia dollars is:

(8t + 3f) / 100 N$

(iii) Substituting t = 50 and f = 75 into the total cost formula:

Total cost = 8(50) + 3(75)
Total cost = 400 + 225
Total cost = 625 cents

To convert to Namibia dollars:

625 / 100 = 6.25 N$

(e) To find the values of x from the equation (x + 4)(x - 5) = 0, we set each factor to 0:

x + 4 = 0
x = -4

and

x - 5 = 0
x = 5

So, the values of x are -4 and 5.
