Step-by-step solution

5 steps

1.
A tariff, in this context, is the rate or charge applied per unit of water (kilolitre) consumed. It often involves a tiered pricing structure where the cost per kilolitre increases as more water is used.

2.

  1. Locate "Meter No" on the receipt.

    The meter number is listed as 4115080.
    Thando's water meter number is 4115080\boxed{\text{4115080}}.

    3.

  2. Identify the quantities of kilolitres listed in the purchase breakdown.

    The quantities are 6 kL, 9 kL, 15 kL, and 22.4 kL.

  3. Determine the maximum value among these quantities.

    The maximum number of kilolitres purchased in a single block is 22.4 kL.
    The maximum number of kilolitres is 22.4 kL\boxed{\text{22.4 kL}}.

    4.
    The acronym VAT stands for Value Added Tax\boxed{\text{Value Added Tax}}.

    5.

  4. Identify the quantity of water and its corresponding rate for the missing value A.

    From the receipt, 15 kL is charged at 25,2300 R/kL.

  5. Calculate the cost by multiplying the quantity by the rate.

    A=15 kL×25.2300 R/kLA = 15 \text{ kL} \times 25.2300 \text{ R/kL} A=378.45 RA = 378.45 \text{ R}

    The missing value A is R 378.45\boxed{\text{R 378.45}}.
