Answer: R12.20

Step-by-step explanation:

VAT in South Africa is 15% so if the flat rate is R93.57, the VAT amount can be found by finding the pre-tax flat rate:

93.57 = x + 0.15x

1.15x = 93.57

x = 93.57/1.15

x = R81.37

VAT is 15% of R81.37:

= 15% * 81.37

= R12.20

$f(x)=2x-4,\ g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\\\\g[f(x)]=\dfrac{1}{2}(2x-4)+2=\dfrac{1}{2}(2x)+\dfrac{1}{2}(-4)+2=x-2+2=x\\\\f[g(x)]=2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\right)-4=2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)+2(2)-4=x+4-4=x\\\\\text{Since the results above came out OK, both}\ x,\text{ then we can claim}\\\text{that functions f (x) and g (x) are inverses of each other.}$
