Domestic supply / Usage in kWh Rand per kWh (kilowatt hour)
0-100 kWh / R1,3032
101-400 kWh / R1,5250
401-650 kWh / R1,6610
More than 650kWh / R1,79
What will the electricity bill (without VAT) be for a month in which a household uses 600 kWh of electricity?
options of answers
[1] R996,00
[2] R2 693,52
[3] R920,02
[4] R1 072,52
If a 0-100kWh is = 1,3032

Question 1110434: Two ships leave Liverpool at the same time. One of them travels north-west at an average speed of 10.5 km/h while the other travels at an average speed of 14 km/h on a bearing of 280ᐤ. How far apart are these ships after 2 hours?
I do not understand this because, unless I'm mistaken, a bearing angle of 280ᐤ is going north-west, and the question doesn't say what angle the first ship is going on. I also do not know how to figure out how far apart they are after two hours. Help would be much appreciated!
