Answer:

Cost recovered from driver = $49500

Explanation:

Since the owner suffered $10000 damage

The passenger suffered$100000 damage

Jury determined that driver should carry 45% of the damages

So therefore;

Total cost of damages = 100000 + 10000 = $ 110000

Cost of damage injured by driver = (45/100) * $110000 = $49500

How has the South African government contributed to school fees?
mixas84 [53]

The budget of the government is used to pay for education, and additional funding comes from student tuition and/or school-sponsored fundraising events. Learners who come from low-income households may attend South African schools without having to pay tuition because of a provision in the South African Schools Act of 1996.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is education?</h3>

Generally, The act of acquiring new information is what we mean when we talk about education. Attending classes at a university and doing homework are both examples of education.

Knowledge may be passed on to others via the process of education, but it can also be gained through the act of learning from another person. In addition, education may refer to the information that is gained via the process of attending classes or receiving instruction, as well as the educational system as a whole. As a noun, education may also be used in a few additional contexts.

In conclusion, The government provides a portion of the money for public schools, while students and parents contribute via tuition and fundraising efforts. Learners from low-income households in South Africa may attend school without having to pay tuition because to a law passed in 1996.

What is your thought on the Indian act?
goldfiish [28.3K]
I have mixed feelings about it. The Indian Act, which was enacted in 1876 and has since been amended, allows the government to control most aspects of aboriginal life: Indian status, land, resources, wills, education, band administration and so on. Inuit and Métis are not governed by this law.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is known to be the benefit an individual would have enjoyed if he or she had done not something else. It is the sacrifice made in choosing between two options when taking decision. For example: choosing between doing homework or watching a programme on television. Thus, if an individual decide to do the homework, watching a programme on television is the alternative forgone which is the opportunity cost.
