(EC/SEPTEMBER 2018) MATHEMATICAL LITERACY P2 3 QUESTION 1 1.1 A family with five people are living in a water-restricted area in Johannesburg where they can use 87 litres of water per person per day from the municipality. They have decided to install eco-water storage tanks to be able to use 250 litres per person per day. The family uses 87 litres per person of water from the municipality and uses the extra amount from the water tanks. They have two water tanks with dimensions as shown in TABLE 1 below. TABLE 1: Dimensions of the two water tanks TANK Diameter in millimetres Height in millimetres A 1 050 1 420 B 1 800 2 100 NOTE: Two tanks with dimensions as shown have been installed at their house. 1.1.1 How many litres of water in total do they use per month (30 days) from the municipality and from the tanks? (5) 1.1.2 Use TABLE 2, the water tariff charges, below to answer the question. TABLE 2: [NORMAL WATER TARIFF CHARGES FOR JOHANNESBURG IN 2016/2017] Tariff Summary Tariff (in kilolitre) Rand per kilolitre (without VAT) 0 – 6 kℓ Free 7 – 10 kℓ R7,14 11 – 15 kℓ R12,07 16 – 20 kℓ R17,65 21 – 30 kℓ R24,03 31 – 40 kℓ R25,81 > than 40 R32,27 [Source: www.johannesburgwater.co.za] Conversion: 1 kℓ = 1 000 litres The family states that, if the water per person (number of litres) used from the water tank were charged using the normal municipality tariffs, they would be paying more than R300 including VAT (14%) for the water bill. Verify, with the necessary calculations, whether their statement is valid or not. (9) Copyright reserved Please turn over
4 MATHEMATICAL LITERACY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2018) 1.1.3 Verify, with the necessary calculations, whether they will have enough water for 30 days with both tanks full, even if it does not rain. NOTE: Amount of the water in a full tank is equal to the volume of the tank, rounded to the nearest thousand. You may use the formula: Volume of cylindrical tank = π × radius x radius × height; where π = 3,142 Conversion: 1 000 cm3 = 1 litre (9) 1.2 In a no fee school, book packs (stationary) are supplied to Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners in the ratio 5 : 3 : 2. There are different stickers for each of these grades; blue for Grade 10, beige for Grade 11 and green for Grade 12. Each book pack cost R320,00 including VAT (15%). 1.2.1 The Grade 10 learners received 250 book packs. How many packs were supplied for the whole school? (5) 1.2.2 A government official states that the 15% VAT charged on the total number of book packs is more than the total cost of 50 book packs. Verify, with calculations to show whether the statement is valid or not. (7) 1.2.3 Determine the probability of randomly choosing a book pack belonging to either Grade 11 or Grade 12. Give your final answer as a percentage. (4) [39] Copyright reserved Please turn over
