The amount of money each of Mr Mokwebo 's two sons; Tokelo and Refentse will get is R116 and R95 respectively.
<h3>How to write and solve equation:</h3>
- 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

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
16 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.
