Here are the solutions to your word problems:

Part a· 2 steps

One bag of oranges costs R18. How much will 25 bags cost?

  1. Identify the cost of one bag and the number of bags.

    Cost per bag = R18
    Number of bags = 25

  2. Multiply the cost per bag by the number of bags to find the total cost.

    Total cost=R18×25\text{Total cost} = \text{R}18 \times 25 Total cost=R450\text{Total cost} = \text{R}450

    The total cost for 25 bags is R450\boxed{\text{R450}}

Part b

864 cans\text{864 cans}

One box holds 24 cans of beef. How many cans are there in 36 such boxes?

  1. Identify the number of cans per box and the number of boxes.

    Cans per box = 24
    Number of boxes = 36

  2. Multiply the number of cans per box by the number of boxes to find the total number of cans.

    Total cans=24×36\text{Total cans} = 24 \times 36 Total cans=864\text{Total cans} = 864

    There are 864 cans\boxed{\text{864 cans}} in 36 boxes.

Part c

616 players and reserves\text{616 players and reserves}

There are 15 players and seven reserves in a rugby team. How many players and reserves are there in 28 rugby teams?

  1. Calculate the total number of people (players and reserves) in one rugby team.

    People per team=15 players+7 reserves\text{People per team} = 15 \text{ players} + 7 \text{ reserves} People per team=22\text{People per team} = 22

  2. Multiply the total number of people per team by the number of rugby teams.

    Total people=22×28\text{Total people} = 22 \times 28 Total people=616\text{Total people} = 616

    There are 616 players and reserves\boxed{\text{616 players and reserves}} in 28 rugby teams.
