Income (in Rand) = __________ × __________ (2)
1.1.3. Is this an example of direct proportion or inverse proportion?
Give a reason for your answer. (2)
1.1.4. Calculate the missing values C and D in the table. (4)
Therefore: C = 24 D = R1 080 (4)
24 × 45 = R1 080
30 × 45 = R1 350
OR
Calculate D: 24 × 45 = R1 080
Calculate C: 1 080 ÷ 45 = 24 bicycles
1.1.4. First determine the income earned per bicycle: R540 ÷ 12 = R45 per bicycle
increases at a constant rate. (2)
Reason: As the number of bicycles rented increases, the income also
1.1.3. Direct proportion
