Answer
To find the total mass of Pringles bought for R100, we start by calculating the total number of packs:
Total number of packs=6100=16.67→16 packs (since we cannot buy a fraction of a pack)
Next, the total mass is calculated as follows:
Total mass=16×110 g=1760 g

Answer
To find the total number of days from January 11 to March 31:
Days remaining in January: 20 days (January has 31 days, so 31 - 11 = 20)
Days in February: 28 days (2021 is not a leap year)
Days in March: 31 days
Total days = 20 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) = 79 days.
