What is the name of the municipality that Mr Mabuza belongs to? Name the type of graph that could be used to represent the tariff system in the table above. Calculate how much money Mr Mabuza will pay

• The first 6 kl are free.
• The next $20 - 6 = 14$ kl are charged at R8.73 per kl.

$$\text{Cost for 7-20 kl} = 14 \text{ kl} \times \text{R } 8.73/\text{kl} = \text{R } 122.22$$

• The remaining $25 - 20 = 5$ kl are charged at R17.50 per kl (for the 21-50 kl block).

$$\text{Cost for 21-25 kl} = 5 \text{ kl} \times \text{R } 17.50/\text{kl} = \text{R } 87.50$$

$$\text{Total Cost} = \text{R } 0.00 + \text{R } 122.22 + \text{R } 87.50$$ $$\text{Total Cost} = \text{R } 209.72$$

Mr Mabuza will pay R 209.72.

2.1.4 Explain why the first 6 kl is given for free?
The first 6 kl of water are given for free as part of a free basic services policy, which aims to ensure that all households, especially low-income ones, have access to a basic amount of essential resources.

2.2.1 Calculate the new bus fare that Mr Mabuza pays for a single trip.

The original fare is R15.00, and it increased by 20%.

$$\text{Increase amount} = 20\% \text{ of R } 15.00$$ $$\text{Increase amount} = \frac{20}{100} \times \text{R } 15.00$$ $$\text{Increase amount} = 0.20 \times \text{R } 15.00 = \text{R } 3.00$$

$$\text{New fare} = \text{Original fare} + \text{Increase amount}$$ $$\text{New fare} = \text{R } 15.00 + \text{R } 3.00$$ $$\text{New fare} = \text{R } 18.00$$

The new bus fare is R 18.00.
