His service provider offers him a choice of their new call packages. Below is a table showing the two different call packages that they offer. Table 2: Two Landline call packages Call Package A Call Package B  Monthly rental of  Monthly rental of R200 R100  First 150 minutes are free  First 100 minutes  Calls cost 60 cents per minute are free  Calls cost 80 cents per minute 2.1.1 The total cost for Call package A is given by the following formula: Total cost (in Rand) = R100 + number of minutes more than 100 x R0,80 (a) Write down a formula which can be used to calculate the total cost in Rand for Call package B. (3) (b) If Call package B is used, determine the total cost in Rand, if Mr. Gardner and his family made calls with a total duration of 625 minutes. (4) 2.1.2 The line graph illustrated in ANNEXURE B shows the total cost for Call package B. On the same set of axes, draw a line graph to illustrate the total cost for Call package A. (5) 2.1.3 Briefly define what is meant by concept, break-even point, in the given context. (2) 2.1.4 Write down the co-ordinates of the break-even point on the graph. (2) 2.1.5 Show by means of calculation that Call Package A costs 20 cents more than Call Package B for using the minimum number of minutes after the break-even point. (4) 2.1.6 Mr. Gardner wants to spend a maximum of R300 per month on one of the Call packages. Which Call package would you advise him to choose? Motivate your answer by showing all calculations.

For Landline numbers they have to use a system where they make entirely sure that a number is not duplicated (repeated). Landline numbers consists of ten digits. The first three digits are for the area code followed by seven digits. The first three digits of the remaining seven digits for the area where Mr. Gardner lives, starts with 423 followed by the last four digits. The last four digits are numbers that can be repeated using the numbers 0 to 9. Show with calculations how many households in Mr. Gardner’s area can be issued with a landline number starting with 041 423 _ _ _ _? (3) [28] QUESTION 3 3.1 As availability of water is becoming a major problem in South Africa, more people are intending to save water. Therefore some of them are investigating how they are billed and if the billing is correctly calculated. Mrs. Treace is one of those people and stays in Cape Town. She studied the water tariffs for 2013–2014 carefully. Below is a table showing the water tariffs for Cape Town during 2013–2014. Study the table carefully before answering the questions. Table 3 Water Tariff for Cape Town 2013–2014 From To Rand per kl excluding VAT Including VAT > 0,0 kl 6,0 kl R 0,00 R0,00 > 6,0 kl 10,5 kl R7,60 R8,66 > 10,5 kl 20,0 kl R11,61 R13,24 > 20,0 kl 35,0 kl R17,20 A > 35,0 kl 50,0 kl R21,24 R24,22 > 50,0 kl B R31,95 3.1.1 Calculate the missing values for A and B respectively. (4) 3.1.2 If Mrs. Treace uses on average 19,5 kl of water per month, will she be paying for the full 19,5 kl? Give a reason for your answer. (2) 3.1.3 Hence, calculate how much Mrs. Treace will pay for using 19,5 kl of water including VAT.

Mrs. Treace decided to investigate the different types of water tanks that is sold in order to make the best decision. Below are diagrams of a vertical, round water tank and a rectangular water tank. Study these diagrams and the information given and then answer the questions that follow. Vertical Round water tank Rectangular water tank Vertical Round water tank Rectangular water tank d = diameter l = length h = height w = width f = recommended filled height h = height f = recommended filled height Vertical Round Water Tanks Tank Volume in litres Diameter in mm Height in mm 1 1 000 750 2230 2 1 000 1100 1400 3 1 000 1100 1300 Rectangular Water Tanks Tank Volume in litres Depth in mm Height in mm Width in mm 1000 520 1770 1260 3.2.1 Show with the necessary calculations that the volume of the vertical round water tank numbered 1 is not exactly 1000 liters as indicated in the table. Use the formula: Volume of vertical round water tank = 3,142 x radius2 x height of the water tank. Please Note: 1 m3 = 1000 l (6) 3.2.2 With reference to your answer in QUESTION 3.2.1, why do you think that there is a difference in the volume between what you have calculated and the given volume? Also explain how this given information can be misleading to consumers. (3) 3.2.3 Briefly explain why the diagrams indicate a recommended filled height.

The width of the area is 1,15 m. Which of the water tanks must she buy that will satisfy the requirement? (2) 3.3 Mrs. Treace will be using the water in her water tank for various purposes. If Mrs. Treace wants to illustrate her usage graphically, which graphical representations can Mrs. Treace use to illustrate how she is using the water?
