A nurse administers vaccines to individuals
The nurse vaccinated 52 people on Wednesday, 58 on Thursday and 43 on Friday
The flu vaccine costs R49,00 per vaccine and the hepatitis vaccine costs R98,00
If approximately half the people had flu vaccines and the other half had hepatitis vaccines, estimate how much money was spent on vaccines
To estimate the amount of money spent on vaccines, we first need to determine how many people received each type of vaccine.
Since approximately half the people had flu vaccines and the other half had hepatitis vaccines, we can assume that half of the total number of people vaccinated received the flu vaccine and the other half received the hepatitis vaccine.
First, let's calculate the total number of people vaccinated:
Total number of people vaccinated = 52 + 58 + 43 = 153
Half of the total number of people vaccinated would be (1/2) * 153 = 76.5 ≈ 77.
So, approximately 77 people received the flu vaccine and 77 people received the hepatitis vaccine.
The cost of a flu vaccine is R49,00, so the amount spent on flu vaccines would be R49,00 * 77 = R3,773,00.
The cost of a hepatitis vaccine is R98,00, so the amount spent on hepatitis vaccines would be R98,00 * 77 = R7,546,00.
Therefore, the estimated total amount spent on vaccines would be R3,773,00 + R7,546,00 = R11,319,00.
