QUESTION 2
Quest Solution Explanation Level
2.1.1 R65,00 √√ 2RT reading correct
value from table
(2) L1
2.1.2 R1 700 – R1 500 = R200 (over R1 500) √ 1M subtracting
amounts
∴ Cost = R12,00 + (R1,20 × 2) √ 1SF
= R14,40 √ 1CA
OR
R200 ÷ 100 = 2 √ 1M dividing
(2 × R1,20) + R12,00 √ 1SF
= R14,40 √ 1CA

(2) L1
3.3.2 Real width: 4,8 cm × 50 = 240 cm 1MA using scale to
≈ 2,4 m √ calculate length and
width
Real length: 9,3 cm × 50 = 465 cm
≈ 4,65 m √ 1MA converting to
metres
∴ Area = 2,4 m × 4,65 m √
= 11,16 m2 √ 1SF substituting
