Rand and cents
- R1 = 100c. R4,50 = 4 rand and 50 cents = 450c.
- Always write two digits after the comma: R3,05 (not R3,5 if you mean 5 cents).
- Change: pay R20 for something costing R13,40 → R20 − R13,40 = R6,60.
Count up from the price to the amount paid: R13,40 → R14 (60c) → R20 (R6): R6,60.
Remember this and test yourself
- R1 = 100c.
- Two digits after the comma for cents.
- Change = amount paid − price.
Write these points in your book. Read them again the night before the test.
A hundred cents make one rand: R1 = 100c, so R5 = 500c.
