1 Brazilian Real (BRL) = 2.607 South African Rand (ZAR). Giving answers correct to two decimal places,

(i) convert 300 BRL to ZAR,

(ii) find how many Real it costs to purchase 300 Rand.

Financial accuracy penalty (FP) is applicable where indicated in the left hand column.

1 BRL = 2.607 ZAR

(FP) (i) \(300 \times 2.607 = 782.10 {\text{ ZAR}}\)     (A1)

Note: 782.1 is (A0)(FP)

(FP) (ii) \(300 \times \frac{1}{{2.607}} = 115.07{\text{ BRL}}\)     (A1)(ft)

Note: Follow through only if processes are reversed.     (C2)

a) Was well done, though many were awarded financial penalty with an answer of 782.1 for a(i).
