If George earns R15 500 per month, calculate the total amount of money George spends on rent, transport, and groceries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we calculate the sum of the parts
0.625 + 0.30 + 12/50 = 0.625 + 0.30 + 0.24 = 1.165
we will see that the sum of the disjoint parts is greater than a whole.
It seems to be absurdist and tells us that the input information is FATALLY DEFECTIVE.
