Fresh day michelle, let's solve. 1. The monthly income of R18 350 was calculated by adding the Salary after deductions (R17 800) and the Housing subsidy (R550). R17\,800 + R550 = R18\,350 2. To determine B, the total monthly expenditure, we sum all the expenditure items: B &= R4\,100 + R475 + R325 + R580 + R2\,750 + R1\,650 + R1\,800 + R1\,300 + R940 + R2\,202 \\ B &= R16\,122 The total monthly expenditure is R16\,122. 3. To determine how much money Mr Nkosi will have left, we subtract the total expenditure from the total income: Money left &= Total Income - Total Expenditure \\ &= R18\,350 - R16\,122 \\ &= R2\,228 Mr Nkosi will have R2\,228 left. 4. Two fixed expenses are: • Bond repayment • Car instalment 5. Two variable expenses are: • Food • Entertainment 6. Mr Nkosi can reduce his Entertainment expenditure. He can decrease this by reducing the frequency of outings, choosing cheaper activities, or opting for free entertainment at home. 7.
