matches of the Rugby World Cup. In order to do this, he must save R8 750,00 for a return
flight, R3 771,00 for accommodation and R800,00 for spending money per day for the 3 days
that he will be there. He will need to convert his money to Japanese Yen before leaving South

compounded annually. He wants to use the money from his investment to
help pay for his trip to Japan. Calculate how much money Willie has
available from his investment. (3)
2.2 Willie is also planning on watching some of the International Friendly matches before
the start of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. He therefore decided to buy a flat screen
television and to install DSTV in his flat. This way he will able to watch these matches
from the comfort of his own home. While browsing the internet, Willie came across the
following special promotions.
Willie doesn’t have enough money to pay cash for these items and will buy these items
on a hire-purchase deal. The hire-purchase deal entails the following:
• 10% deposit
• 20,75% annual simple interest rate
• 3 years to repay

check all his transactions and to see if he could pay less in bank charges.
The following transactions were made by Willie during August 2018 on his A7 Achievers
account from Commercial Bank:
• 1 × ATM cash withdrawal of R1000,00 from a Commercial Bank ATM.
• 1 × ATM cash withdrawal of R900,00 from another bank’s ATM.
• An external debit order for R950,00.
• An internal debit order for R470,00.
• 2 × external stop orders to third parties for R2 750,00 and R3 250,00 respectively.
• His salary of R23 550,00 is deposited electronically into his account every month.
• 1 × ATM cash deposit of R2 450,00.

below.
3.1.1 Define the term perimeter. (2)
3.1.2 Determine the perimeter of the rugby field. (2)
3.1.3 What is the length of the rugby field? (3)
3.1.4 Calculate the area of the rugby field that has to be covered with grass.
Use the formula : Area = length x width (4)
3.1.5 Sods of grass are used to cover the rugby field. Calculate the area of one sod of
grass in square metres if the dimensions of one sod of grass are 500 mm × 700
mm. (3)
3.1.6 Determine the number of sods of grass that will be needed to cover the entire
rugby field. (2)
3.2 To irrigate the rugby field, a special cylindical water tank is used. The water tank is
3,5 m long and has a diameter of 200 cm.
Refer to the picture and the information above to answer the questions that follow.
3.2.1 Determine the radius of the water tank in cm. (2)
3.2.2 Calculate the amount of water (in litres) in the water tank when it is full.
You may use the following formula: Volume = π × (radius)2 × length
Use: π = 3,142
Also note that: 1 000 cm3 = 1 litre
1m3 = 1 000 l (6)
3.2.3 The school wants to repaint the water tank. Calculate (in square metres) the
outside surface area of the water tank that will be painted.
You may use the formula: Surface area = 2 × π × radius (radius + length)
Use: π = 3,142 (4)
