R35 947 in a school fundraiser.
a. How much money did they get altogether? [4]

= 40 000 + 5 000 + 800
– 30 000 – 5 000 – 900 – 40 – 7
= 10 000 + 0 + (800 – 900) – 40 – 7
= 9 000 + (1 800 – 900) – 40 – 7
= 9 000 + 900 – 40 – 7
= 9 000 + 800 + 100 – 40 – 7
= 9 000 + 800 + 60 – 7

Question 4 22
1. Answer these questions and show your working out.
a. 458 × 7 [3]
= (400 + 50 + 8) × 7
= 400 × 7 + 50 × 7 + 8 × 7
= 2 800 + 350 + 56
= 2 000 + 800 + 300 + 50 + 50 + 6
= 2 000 + 1 100 + 100 + 6
= 3 206
b. 386 × 9 [3]
= (300 + 80 + 6) × 9
= 300 × 9 + 80 × 9 + 6 × 9
= 2 700 + 720 + 54
= 2 000 + 700 + 700 + 20 + 50 + 4
= 2 000 + 1 400 + 70 + 4
= 3 474
c. 595 ÷ 83 [4]
= 595 – 83
= 512 – 83
= 429 – 83
= 346 – 83
= 263 – 83
= 180 – 83
= 97 – 83
= 14
So, 595 ÷ 83 = 7 rem 14
d. 745 ÷ 24 [4]
= 745 – 240 24 × 10 = 240
= 505 – 240
= 265 – 240
= 25 – 24
So, 745 ÷ 24 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 = 31 rem 1

2. There are 795 chickens in a hen house. Each chicken lays 6 eggs in a week. How many
eggs are laid in a week? [4]
= (700 + 90 + 5) × 6
= 700 × 6 + 90 × 6 + 5 × 6
= 4 200 + 540 + 30
= 4 000 + 200 + 500 + 40 + 30
= 4 000 + 700 + 70
= 4 770
3. There are 718 children in a school. Each class has 26 children in it. How many classes
are there? [4]
= 718 ÷ 26 26 × 10 = 260
= 718 – 260
= 458 – 260 26 × 5 = 130
= 198 – 130
= 68 – 26
= 42 – 26
= 16
So, 718 ÷ 26 = 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 27 rem 16
Question 8

1. There are 4 chickens and 6 cows. The chickens eat 2 bags of seeds
each. Altogether the farmer buys 26 bags of seeds.
a. Write a number sentence to describe this story. [2]
4 × 2 + 6 × = 26
8 + 6 × = 26
b. Use trial and error to solve this number sentence and find the number of bags of
seeds each cow eats. [3]
8 + 6 × = 26
8 + 6 × = 8 + 18
6 × = 18
6×=6x3
=3
