### ACTIVITY 2

A packet of chips costs R 6.50. The following table shows the relationship between the number of packets of chips sold and the total cost.

Use the information above and answer the following questions:

a. Complete the following table.
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
\# of packets \\
of chips sold
\end{tabular} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\
\hline Total cost (R) & 6.50 & 13.00 & 19.50 & 26.00 & 32.50 & 39.00 & 45.50 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Certainly! Let's complete the table using the provided information:

We know that:
- The cost per packet of chips is R 6.50.
- We have some total costs given and some are missing.

To fill in the missing total costs, we need to multiply the number of packets sold by the cost per packet (R 6.50). Here's the detailed step-by-step calculation to fill in the blanks:

1. For 1 packet of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 1 \times 6.50 = 6.50 \][/tex]
(Already given in the table)

2. For 2 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 2 \times 6.50 = 13.00 \][/tex]

3. For 3 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 3 \times 6.50 = 19.50 \][/tex]

4. For 4 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 4 \times 6.50 = 26.00 \][/tex]
(Already given in the table)

5. For 5 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 5 \times 6.50 = 32.50 \][/tex]

6. For 6 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 6 \times 6.50 = 39.00 \][/tex]
(Already given in the table)

7. For 7 packets of chips sold:
[tex]\[ 7 \times 6.50 = 45.50 \][/tex]

Now, let's complete the table:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \# \text{ of packets of chips sold} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline \text{Total cost (R)} & 6.50 & 13.00 & 19.50 & 26.00 & 32.50 & 39.00 & 45.50 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

Resultantly, here is the filled table:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \# \text{ of packets of chips sold} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline \text{Total cost (R)} & 6.50 & 13.00 & 19.50 & 26.00 & 32.50 & 39.00 & 45.50 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]
