. Mpho saves R14.50 for six months of the year and R16. 50 at the beginning of the 7th month until the rest of the year
How much did he save altogether
R176000
6*14.50 + 6*16.50 = ____
To calculate how much Mpho saved altogether, we need to add up the amount he saved for the first six months and the amount he saved for the rest of the year.
For the first six months, Mpho saved R14.50 each month.
So, for 6 months, Mpho saved 6 * R14.50 = R87.
Then, for the rest of the year (6 months), he saved R16.50 each month.
So, for the rest of the year, he saved 6 * R16.50 = R99.
To find the total amount saved, we add the two amounts together:
R87 + R99 = R186.
Therefore, Mpho saved a total of R186 altogether.
To calculate how much Mpho saved altogether, we need to determine the total savings for the six months and the savings for the rest of the year (approximately five months).
First, let's calculate the savings for the six months of the year. We know that Mpho saved R14.50 for each of these months. So, to find the total savings, we multiply the amount saved per month (R14.50) by the number of months (6):
Total savings for six months = R14.50/month * 6 months = R87.00
Next, we need to calculate the savings for the rest of the year, which is approximately five months. We know that Mpho saved R16.50 for each of these months. So, to find the total savings, we multiply the amount saved per month (R16.50) by the number of months (approximately 5):
Total savings for the rest of the year = R16.50/month * 5 months = R82.50
Now, to calculate the total savings altogether, we add the savings for the six months and the savings for the rest of the year:
Total savings = Total savings for six months + Total savings for the rest of the year
= R87.00 + R82.50
= R169.50
Therefore, Mpho saved a total of R169.50 altogether.
