The fundraising committee of St Mark's Anglican Church is planning a braai. At the braai, plates of food will be sold in order to raise funds for a new generator. Each plate of food will be sold for R35.

Each plate of food will consist of:

1 x chop

1 x boerewors

1x salad and relish

1 x paper plate

1 x bread roll - no charge (sponsored)

They bought 16,7 kg of chops and 13 kg of boerewors at a local butcher enough for 200 plates of food.

The normal prices (per kg) of the meat products bought are given in TABLE 7 below.

The fundraising committee negotiated a discount of 15% with the butcher on the total purchase made.

Use TABLE 7 and the information above to answer the questions that follow.

4.1.1 Calculate the total amount the fundraising committee paid for the meat products at the local butcher. (7)

4.1.2 The cost of the salad, relish, paper plates and charcoal is an additional R850,00.

Calculate the cost price of ONE plate of food.

(4)

4.1.3 The profit made from selling 200 plates of food was not sufficient.

The fundraising committee still had a shortfall of R2 850,00 to buy the new generator.

They decided to continue selling more plates of food to meet this shortfall.

Determine, rounded to the nearest TEN, the total number of plates of food they had to sell in order to buy the new generator.
