The venue has a fixed rate of R5 000 per evening. One of the learners knows the owner and can get a \( 15 \% \) discount on the venue fees. Determine the new fee they will have to pay for the venue.

To calculate the new fee after the discount, first, determine the amount of the discount. A \( 15\% \) discount on R5,000 can be calculated as: \[ \text{Discount} = R5,000 \times 0.15 = R750 \] Next, subtract the discount from the original fee: \[ \text{New Fee} = R5,000 - R750 = R4,250 \] So, the new fee they will have to pay for the venue is R4,250. Now, let's celebrate this savvy deal! That means more funds for snacks and decor, ensuring that the event is a hit. Remember, discounts can sometimes be combined, so always check if there are any additional promotions when booking a venue!
