**3. Total cost of jerseys**

- Each jersey costs $$ R249.99 $$.
- The number of jerseys is $$ 23 $$.

The total cost is given by:
$$
\text{Total Cost} = 23 \times 249.99
$$

Calculating:
$$
23 \times 249.99 = 5749.77
$$

Thus, the jerseys will cost $$ R5749.77 $$ in total.

**4. Total cost of the outing**

- There are $$ 148 $$ learners.
- The cost per learner is $$ R12.50 $$.

The total cost is:
$$
\text{Total Cost} = 148 \times 12.50
$$

Calculating:
$$
148 \times 12.50 = 1850
$$

Thus, the outing costs $$ R1850 $$ altogether.

**5. Cargo distribution in boxes**

A container carries a total weight of $$ 177.12\, \text{kg} $$.

**(a) Weight per box**

- The cargo is divided equally among $$ 27 $$ boxes.
  
The weight of each box is:
$$
\text{Weight per box} = \frac{177.12}{27} \, \text{kg}
$$

Calculating:
$$
\frac{177.12}{27} = 6.56\, \text{kg}
$$

Thus, each box weighs $$ 6.56\, \text{kg} $$.

---

**(b) Number of cans per box**

- Each box weighs $$ 6.56\, \text{kg} $$.
- Each can weighs $$ 410\, \text{g} $$. Convert this to kilograms:
$$
410\, \text{g} = 0.41\, \text{kg}
$$

The number of cans in each box is:
$$
\text{Number of cans} = \frac{6.56}{0.41}
$$

Calculating:
$$
\frac{6.56}{0.41} = 16
$$

Thus, there are $$ 16 $$ cans in each box.
**3. Total cost of jerseys:** Each jersey costs R249.99, and they need 23 jerseys. Total cost = 23 × 249.99 = R5,749.77 **4. Total cost of the outing:** There are 148 learners, and each costs R12.50. Total cost = 148 × 12.50 = R1,850 **5. Cargo distribution in boxes:** A container carries 177.12 kg of cargo. **(a) Weight per box:** 27 boxes are used. Weight per box = 177.12 ÷ 27 = 6.56 kg **(b) Number of cans per box:** Each can weighs 410 g, which is 0.41 kg. Number of cans = 6.56 ÷ 0.41 = 16
