Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine how many netball balls the school can purchase with R500 when each ball costs R120, follow these steps:

1. **Divide the Total Amount by the Cost per Ball:**
   
   $$
   \text{Number of Balls} = \frac{500 \text{ R}}{120 \text{ R/ball}} \approx 4.1667 \text{ balls}
   $$

2. **Interpret the Result:**
   
   Since you can't purchase a fraction of a ball, you'll need to consider only the whole number part of the division.

3. **Final Answer:**
   
   The school can buy **4 netball balls** with R500.

- **Total Cost for 4 Balls:** $$4 \times 120 = 480 \text{ R}$$
   - **Remaining Amount:** $$500 \text{ R} - 480 \text{ R} = 20 \text{ R}$$

**Summary:**  
With R500, the school can purchase **4 netball balls** and will have R20 remaining.
The school can buy 4 netball balls with R500.
