Answer
To calculate A, we need to sum the price and total fee for the restaurant menu. The total is R110 (price) + R11 (gratuity) = R121.
Step 3
1.1.3 Calculate B, the delivery fee for Mr Delivery.

Answer
From the graph, the total charge for Mr Delivery is R126, which includes the delivery fee and meal price. Given the meal price is R126 and there's no additional fee noted, B (the delivery fee) is R0.
Step 4
1.1.4 Write down the difference between the highest price and the lowest price of the meal, excluding delivery/gratuity.

Answer
The highest price for the meal is R136 (from Uber Eats) and the lowest is R110 (from Restaurant menu). The difference is R136 - R110 = R26.
Step 5

Answer
The original delivery fee for Uber Eats is R10. The increase can be calculated as follows:
Increase = R10 * 0.0632 = R0.632.
Therefore, the increase in the delivery fee is approximately R0.63.
