Jannie receives R^(150) pocket money per month. In the new year his mother decided to increase his pocket money in the ratio 6:5. Calculate Jannie's adiusted monthly pocket money.

Answer 1

To calculate Jannie's adjusted monthly pocket money, we first need to find the increase in the ratio 6:5:

6x - 5x = R^(150) - R^(150)
x = R^(150)

Now, we can calculate Jannie's adjusted monthly pocket money:

New monthly pocket money = R^(150) * 6/5
New monthly pocket money = R^(150) * 1.2
New monthly pocket money = R^(180)

Therefore, Jannie's adjusted monthly pocket money is R^(180).
