Monthly salary=R17 415.39\text{Monthly salary} = \text{R}17\,415.39 R17 415.39\boxed{\text{R}17\,415.39}
  1. 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.

    Total income=Monthly salary+Monthly housing subsidy\text{Total income} = \text{Monthly salary} + \text{Monthly housing subsidy} Total income=R17 415.39+R900\text{Total income} = \text{R}17\,415.39 + \text{R}900 Total income=R18 315.39\text{Total income} = \text{R}18\,315.39 R18 315.39\boxed{\text{R}18\,315.39}
  2. Determine Mrs Ncube's monthly saving (A) (1.2.1).

    Mrs Ncube saves 25% of her total monthly income from her employment.

    Monthly saving (A)=25%×Total income\text{Monthly saving (A)} = 25\% \times \text{Total income} Monthly saving (A)=0.25×R18 315.39\text{Monthly saving (A)} = 0.25 \times \text{R}18\,315.39 Monthly saving (A)=R4 578.8475\text{Monthly saving (A)} = \text{R}4\,578.8475

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    Monthly saving (A)=R4 578.85\text{Monthly saving (A)} = \text{R}4\,578.85 R4 578.85\boxed{\text{R}4\,578.85}
  3. 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).

    Total expenses (B)=School fees+Groceries+Rent+Electricity and water+Entertainment+Savings (A)+Clothing and shoes+Fuel+Miscellaneous expenses\text{Total expenses (B)} = \text{School fees} + \text{Groceries} + \text{Rent} + \text{Electricity and water} + \text{Entertainment} + \text{Savings (A)} + \text{Clothing and shoes} + \text{Fuel} + \text{Miscellaneous expenses} Total expenses (B)=(R800×2)+R1 600+R4 200+R1 100+R700+R4 578.85+R1 400+R1 200+R1 500\text{Total expenses (B)} = (\text{R}800 \times 2) + \text{R}1\,600 + \text{R}4\,200 + \text{R}1\,100 + \text{R}700 + \text{R}4\,578.85 + \text{R}1\,400 + \text{R}1\,200 + \text{R}1\,500 Total expenses (B)=R1 600+R1 600+R4 200+R1 100+R700+R4 578.85+R1 400+R1 200+R1 500\text{Total expenses (B)} = \text{R}1\,600 + \text{R}1\,600 + \text{R}4\,200 + \text{R}1\,100 + \text{R}700 + \text{R}4\,578.85 + \text{R}1\,400 + \text{R}1\,200 + \text{R}1\,500 Total expenses (B)=R17 878.85\text{Total expenses (B)} = \text{R}17\,878.85 R17 878.85\boxed{\text{R}17\,878.85}
  4. 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).

    Amount donated to charity=Total income−Total expenses (B)\text{Amount donated to charity} = \text{Total income} - \text{Total expenses (B)} Amount donated to charity=R18 315.39−R17 878.85\text{Amount donated to charity} = \text{R}18\,315.39 - \text{R}17\,878.85 Amount donated to charity=R436.54\text{Amount donated to charity} = \text{R}436.54 R436.54\boxed{\text{R}436.54}
