Answer :

To complete the table, we need to calculate the total price for each company's shares by multiplying the price per share by the number of shares bought.

Let's go through this step-by-step for each row:

1. ABSA Bank:
- Price per share: R119.45
- No. of shares: 2
- Total price: [tex]\( 119.45 \times 2 = 238.90 \)[/tex]

2. SAB (Breweries):
- Price per share: R174.55
- No. of shares: 3
- Total price: [tex]\( 174.55 \times 3 = 523.65 \)[/tex]

3. MTN:
- Price per share: R127.67
- No. of shares: 5
- Total price: [tex]\( 127.67 \times 5 = 638.35 \)[/tex]

4. Voolworths:
- Price per share: R14.59
- No. of shares: 12
- Total price: [tex]\( 14.59 \times 12 = 175.08 \)[/tex]

Now, let's fill in the table with these calculated values:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\text{Company}} & \text{Price per share} & \text{No. of shares} & \text{Total price} \\ \hline \text{ABSA Bank} & \text{R119.45} & \text{2} & \text{R238.90} \\ \hline \text{SAB (Breweries)} & \text{R174.55} & \text{3} & \text{R523.65} \\ \hline \text{MTN} & \text{R127.67} & \text{5} & \text{R638.35} \\ \hline \text{Voolworths} & \text{R14.59} & \text{12} & \text{R175.08} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
