Here are the solutions for the questions from the image.

2.2.1

  1. Understand the relationship between "Units per ZAR" and "ZAR per unit".

    "Units per ZAR" means how many units of a foreign currency you get for 1 South African Rand (ZAR).
    "ZAR per unit" means how many ZAR you need to buy 1 unit of the foreign currency.
    These two values are reciprocals of each other.

  2. Use the "Units per ZAR" value for United Arab Emirates (AED) from Table 6.

    For AED, "Units per ZAR" = 0.197656. This means 0.197656 AED=1 ZAR0.197656 \text{ AED} = 1 \text{ ZAR}.

  3. Calculate "ZAR per unit" by finding the reciprocal.

    To find how many ZAR are in 1 AED, we calculate:

    1 AED=10.197656 ZAR1 \text{ AED} = \frac{1}{0.197656} \text{ ZAR} 1 AED≈5.059300 ZAR1 \text{ AED} \approx 5.059300 \text{ ZAR}

    Rounding to four decimal places, we get 5.0593 ZAR5.0593 \text{ ZAR}.
    This shows how the United Arab Emirates (AED) of 5.0593 ZAR5.0593 \text{ ZAR} per unit was obtained.

    2.2.2

  4. Identify the exchange rates for British Pound Sterling (GBP) and Botswana Pula (BWP) relative to ZAR from Table 6.

    For GBP: 1 GBP=23.2278 ZAR1 \text{ GBP} = 23.2278 \text{ ZAR}
    For BWP: 1 ZAR=0.713470 BWP1 \text{ ZAR} = 0.713470 \text{ BWP} (from "Units per ZAR")

  5. Convert GBP to ZAR, then ZAR to BWP to find the exchange rate of BWP per GBP.

    We want to find how many BWP are equivalent to 1 GBP1 \text{ GBP}.
    First, convert 1 GBP1 \text{ GBP} to ZAR:
    1 GBP=23.2278 ZAR1 \text{ GBP} = 23.2278 \text{ ZAR}

    Next, convert this amount of ZAR to BWP:
    23.2278 ZAR×0.713470 BWP/ZAR=16.57462... BWP23.2278 \text{ ZAR} \times 0.713470 \text{ BWP/ZAR} = 16.57462... \text{ BWP}

  6. State the exchange rate.

    The exchange rate between British Pound Sterling (GBP) and Botswana Pula (BWP) is approximately 1 GBP=16.5746 BWP\boxed{1 \text{ GBP} = 16.5746 \text{ BWP}}.

    2.2.3

  7. Identify the exchange rate for Brazilian Real (BRL) to ZAR from Table 6.

    From the table, "ZAR per unit" for BRL is 3.1917. This means 1 BRL=3.1917 ZAR1 \text{ BRL} = 3.1917 \text{ ZAR}.

  8. Calculate the total amount in ZAR that Bongani received.

    Dudu sent 3000 BRL3000 \text{ BRL}.
    Amount in ZAR = 3000 BRL×3.1917 ZAR/BRL3000 \text{ BRL} \times 3.1917 \text{ ZAR/BRL}
    Amount in ZAR = 9575.1 ZAR9575.1 \text{ ZAR}

  9. Round the amount to the nearest rand.

    Rounded amount = R9575\text{R}9575.

    Bongani received R9575\boxed{\text{R}9575}.
