Answer

To determine the available money to spend, the initial balance was R20 000.00 and the outstanding authorisations added up to R11 676.22. Therefore, the calculation is as follows:

Available money = Initial balance - Outstanding authorisations
Available money = R20 000.00 - R11 676.22
Available money = R8 323.78

Step 4

2.1.4 The amount paid to Caltex on 12/08/2023 was for 54,1365 litres of petrol. Calculate the price per litre of petrol on that particular day.

Answer

To find the price per litre of petrol, we divide the total amount paid by the number of litres purchased. Assume he paid R1 376.15 for petrol:

Price per litre = Total amount paid / Litres purchased
Price per litre = R1 376.15 / 54.1365
Price per litre = R25.42

Step 5

2.1.5 The purchase at the Pro Shop on 24/08/2023 was for a Rovik RV2 golf push cart at a discounted price. If a 17,5% discount was given on the price paid, calculate the original price of the Rovik RV2 golf push cart.

Answer

If the discounted price is R999.99 after a 17.5% discount, let the original price be X. We use the formula:

Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount Percentage)
R999.99 = X × (1 - 0.175) R999.99 = X × 0.825

Solving for X, we get: X = R999.99 / 0.825
X ≈ R1 212.12
