Question

4.3 Mr Mokwebo 's two sons, Refentse and Tokelo have just passed grade 7 and grade 9 respectively. He will give them some money to buy chocolates at Jubilee Mall as a reward for their hardwork. Refentse will receive R21 less than Tokelo. Altogether they will need R253 to buy the chocolates. Set up an equation and calculate how much each will get. Let Tokelo 's money be x 4.3.1 Write down Refentse 's money in terms of x. (1) 4.3.2 Set up an equation and calculate how much each will get. (4) [22] Total: 60
​

Answer 1

The amount of money each of Mr Mokwebo 's two sons; Tokelo and Refentse will get is R116 and R95 respectively.

How to write and solve equation:

• Amount needed to buy chocolate = R253
• Tokelo's money = x
• Refentse's money = x - 21

Total amount needed = Tokelo's money + Refentse's money

253 = x + (x - 21)

253 = x + x - 21

253 = 2x - 21

253 - 21 = 2x

232 = 2x

divide both sides by 2

x = 232/2

x = 116

Therefore,

Tokelo's money = x = R116

Refentse's money = x - 21

= 116 - 21

= R95
