Monthlysalary=R17415.39
R17415.39
Step 2: Determine Mrs Ncube's total income from her teaching job (1.1.2).
Her total income includes her monthly salary and the monthly housing subsidy.
Totalincome=Monthlysalary+Monthlyhousingsubsidy
Totalincome=R17415.39+R900
Totalincome=R18315.39
R18315.39
Step 3: Determine Mrs Ncube's monthly saving (A) (1.2.1).
Mrs Ncube saves 25% of her total monthly income from her employment.
Monthlysaving(A)=25%×Totalincome
Monthlysaving(A)=0.25×R18315.39
Monthlysaving(A)=R4578.8475
Rounding to two decimal places:
Monthlysaving(A)=R4578.85
R4578.85
Step 4: Calculate Mrs Ncube's total monthly expenses before she donates to charity (B) (1.2.2).
Total monthly expenses (B) is the sum of all listed expenses in the budget table, including savings (A).
Totalexpenses(B)=Schoolfees+Groceries+Rent+Electricityandwater+Entertainment+Savings(A)+Clothingandshoes+Fuel+Miscellaneousexpenses
Totalexpenses(B)=(R800×2)+R1600+R4200+R1100+R700+R4578.85+R1400+R1200+R1500
Totalexpenses(B)=R1600+R1600+R4200+R1100+R700+R4578.85+R1400+R1200+R1500
Totalexpenses(B)=R17878.85
R17878.85
Step 5: Determine the amount Mrs Ncube donates to charity (1.2.3).
She donates the balance to charity after all her expenses. The balance is her total income minus her total expenses (B).
Amountdonatedtocharity=Totalincome−Totalexpenses(B)
Amountdonatedtocharity=R18315.39−R17878.85
Amountdonatedtocharity=R436.54
R436.54
