Sure, let's break down the given problem step by step:
1. Calculate the total income expected for the month:
Natasha's basic salary is R1200 per month. She expects an additional commission of R200 for this month.
Basic Salary: R1200
Commission: R200
Total Income = Basic Salary + Commission
Total Income = R1200 + R200
Total Income = R1400
So, Natasha's total expected income for the month is R1400.
2. Calculate the total expenses for the month:
Natasha's estimated expenses for July 2022 are as follows:
- Water: R100
- Car Payment: R200
- Fine: R50
- Insurance: R100
- Groceries: R800
- Entertainment: R150
- Clothing Accounts: R100
Total Expenses = Water + Car Payment + Fine + Insurance + Groceries + Entertainment + Clothing Accounts
Total Expenses = R100 + R200 + R50 + R100 + R800 + R150 + R100
Total Expenses = R1500
So, Natasha's total expenses for the month are R1500.
3. Calculate the percentage of her income that is spent on entertainment:
Natasha's entertainment cost is R150.
Entertainment Percentage = (Entertainment / Total Income) 100
Entertainment Percentage = (R150 / R1400) 100
Entertainment Percentage ≈ 10.71%
So, approximately 10.71% of Natasha's income is spent on entertainment.
4. Determine if Natasha has enough money to replace a geyser that bursts, which costs R399:
We need to check if Natasha's income is sufficient to cover her total expenses plus the additional cost of replacing the geyser.
Total Income = R1400
Total Expenses = R1500
Geyser Cost = R399
To determine if she has enough money:
Amount Required = Total Expenses + Geyser Cost
Amount Required = R1500 + R399
Amount Required = R1899
Since Natasha's total income (R1400) is less than the amount required (R1899), she does not have enough money to replace the geyser.
So, Natasha does not have enough money to replace her geyser that burst.
