John is interested in running a small internet station in a coffee shop. He searches the

2.3 John's friend Errol, who lives in Botswana, about the profit he made when he sold the ultra-thin mouse (UTM).

Errol decided to join John as a business partner.

John and Errol then decided to share their profit in the ratio 3 : 2.

TABLE 1 below shows the currency conversion factors for a few of the currencies in terms of the South African currency on 7 January 2018.

TABLE 1: CURRENCY CONVERSION FACTORS

CURRENCY  UNITS PER ZAR  ZAR PER UNIT

Algerian dinar   9,546785   0,104747
Botswana pula(BWP)   0,797782   1,253475
Brazilian real   0,262321   3,318534

Japanese yen   9,111043   0,109757

Use the table and the information above to answer the questions that follow.

2.3.1 Write down the exchange rate between the Botswana pula (BWP) and the South African rand (ZAR). (2)

2.3.2 List the currencies which are weaker than the ZAR. (2)

2.3.3 Each mouse costs R13,00 and is sold for BWP4,98.

(a) Convert R13,00 into BWP (2)

(b) Calculate the total number of UTMs sold if a total profit of BWP7526 was made. (4)

2.3.4 Calculate the amount (in BWP) that Errol will receive if he makes a total profit of BWP7526 was made. (2)
