A Municipality has budgeted \( R 80000 \) for putting up new street name boards. The street name boards cost 134 each. How many new street name boards can be put up, and how much will be left in the budget?

The number of new street name boards that can be put up can be calculated by dividing the total budget by the cost of each board. So, \( \frac{80000}{134} \approx 597.01 \). This means the municipality can afford to put up 597 street name boards. To find out how much will be left in the budget after purchasing the boards, we multiply the number of boards (597) by the cost of each board (134), which equals \( 597 \times 134 = 79938 \). Subtracting this from the budget gives \( 80000 - 79938 = 62 \). Therefore, the municipality can put up 597 boards and will have R 62 left in the budget.
