Chocolate ball costs R4.60 each
Container costs R2.73 each
A cardboard box costs R6.22 and can fit 10 containers
Labels for a container cost R3.45 each
a) R4278.00
b) R4272.00
c) R4227.50
d) R4285.50

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of the order, you will need to calculate the cost of each item and then add them together. The total cost of the order is R7474.22

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of the order, we need to calculate the cost of each item and then add them together.

Number of chocolate balls = 600

Cost of 1 chocolate ball = R4.60

Total cost of chocolate balls = Number of chocolate balls * Cost of 1 chocolate ball = 600 * R4.60 = R2760.00

Number of containers = 600

Cost of 1 container = R2.73

Total cost of containers = Number of containers * Cost of 1 container = 600 * R2.73 = R1638.00

Number of cardboard boxes = 1 (since only 1 cardboard box can fit the containers)

Cost of 1 cardboard box = R6.22

Total cost of cardboard boxes = Number of cardboard boxes * Cost of 1 cardboard box = 1 * R6.22 = R6.22

Number of labels = Number of containers = 600

Cost of 1 label = R3.45

Total cost of labels = Number of labels * Cost of 1 label = 600 * R3.45 = R2070.00

Total cost of the order = Total cost of chocolate balls + Total cost of containers + Total cost of cardboard boxes + Total cost of labels = R2760.00 + R1638.00 + R6.22 + R2070.00 = R7474.22
