Cardinal numbers are the numbers that are used for counting something. These
are also said to be cardinals. The cardinal numbers are the counting numbers that
start from 1 and goes on sequentially and are not fractions. The examples of
cardinal numbers are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Ordinal numbers are the numbers which indicate the exact position of something or
someone at a place. All the ordinal numbers in Maths are natural numbers or
counting numbers.
A Nominal Number is a number used only as a name, or to identify something (not
as an actual value or position) Other examples the number on the back of a player:
"8",A zip code: "91210",A model number: "380"

1.4. The price of a Grade 4 mathematics textbook is discounted by 15%. The old
price was R350,00. Calculate the discount price. (3)
0.15 x R350.00 = R52.50
R350.00 – R52.50 = R297.50

1.5. The sale price of a laptop is R3 700,00, which is only 65% of the original
price. Calculate the original price. (3)
65% of X = 3700
= 65/100 x X = 3700
X = 3700/1 x 100/65
x = 370 000/65
x = R5692.30 (Original Price)
