Answer
To calculate A, we sum the meal price and the delivery fee:
Price = R110
Delivery fee = R11
So, A = R110 + R11 = R121.

Answer
To find B, we look at the total fee for Mr Delivery and deduce it from the meal price:
Total fee = R126
Price = R126
From the total fee of R126, we find the delivery fee:
B = R126 - R126 = R0.
