Cost of one packet = R18,00 ÷ 100 
= R0,18✓ 
R31,00 + R4,00 = R35,00 ÷ 36  
 = R0,97 per block✓ 
Cost per packet = R0,97 x 2 + R0,18 
= R2,12✓ 
R2,12 x 120%✓ = R2,54✓ 
R2,12 + R2,54 = R4,66✓ 
Selling price of one packet = R5,00✓

Cost of one packet = R18,00 ÷ 100 
= R0,18✓ 
R31,00 ÷ 36 = R0,86 per block 
R4,00 ÷ 36 = R0,11 per block 
R0,86 + R0,11 = R0,97 per block✓
