platforms. Remember that we are in this journey together.
Always read your scenarios and all the given information with understanding. Respond to
questions asked not what you think has been asked.
We wish you all the best through you revision sessions.
Have fun and enjoy our Mathematical Literacy as you study.
Cheers!

More percentage calculations
1. In a school, 10 out of every 45 learners walk to school.
Calculate the number of learners who walk to school as a percentage
(to two decimal places).
2. At the beginning of high school your height was 1,09 cm and it increased by 20 cm
during the course of the year.
Calculate the percentage increase of your height (to three decimal places).
3. VAT in South Africa increased to 15% with effect from 1 April 2018.
The following shows how the dealer calculated the new increased VAT incorrectly:
Selling price, including 14% VAT = R160 087,72 + 14% of R160 087,72
= R160 087,72 + R22 412,28
= R182 500
VAT increased with 1%.
New selling price, including 15% VAT = R182 500 + R182 500 × 1%
= R182 500 + R1 825
= R184 325
Calculate the new selling price, including 15% VAT. (4)

QUESTION 1
1.1 Mrs Letsie owns a large national cleaning company that cleans office blocks in
various cities.
Four years ago she obtained an additional cleaning contract. She employed
additional employees on a contract basis for the four years. The Unemployment
Insurance Fund (UIF) requires that an employer and employee each contribute
1% of the employee‟s gross salary to the fund.
The number of additional employees and their gross salaries are as follows:
11 handymen each receiving a monthly salary of R4 410,37
272 cleaners (men and women in the ratio 1 : 3), each receiving R18,66 per
hour working 8 hours per day for a total of 20 days per month
12 supervisors (in the same gender ratio as the cleaners), each receiving a
monthly salary of R230 more than a cleaner‟s monthly salary
11 drivers paid weekly*, each receiving R734,53 per week
*NOTE: For the purposes of UIF contributions, the weekly salary is to be
multiplied by 52 and then divided by 12 to determine the monthly salary.

QUESTION 6
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person‟s mass and height. BMI is
plotted on the growth chart to obtain a percentile ranking.
BMI- for- age weight status categories and the corresponding percentiles are shown in the
following table.
Weight Status Classification
Weight Status Percentiles range on the growth charts
Underweight Less than the 5th percentiles
Healthy weight ≥ 5th percentile and < 85th percentile
Overweight ≥ 85th percentile and < 965th percentile
Obese ≥ percentile
A person‟s BMI can be calculated by the following formula:
mass
BMI (kg/m2) =
(height) 2
NB: BMI is a measure to determine the best weight range for a person‟s health.

QUESTION 16
Miera's mother insists that she must eat as much fruit and vegetables as possible to stay
healthy.
Her favourite fruit is apples and her mother buys a 2 kg bag every two weeks.
Being a Mathematical Literacy teacher, Miera's mom investigated the sizes of apples in
the 2kg bags that she bought over 14 weeks.
