This means that they do all their practices and home games at this stadium. This beautiful stadium is crowned by an arch that is 106 metres above the ground at its highest point. Tourists can walk or use the "sky car" to get to the top of the arch. [Source: <https://www.mmstadium.com>] 1.1.1 Wikipedia states that the construction costs for this stadium were 3,4 billion South African rand (ZAR) in 2006, which was approximately 450 million American dollars (USD). Determine what the exchange rate was in 2006 and write your answer in the format 1 ZAR = … USD. (4) IEB Copyright © 2018

The family consists of 2 parents, 2 children, ages 11 and 14, and one grandparent, age 73. The tariffs for the sky car are as follows: Adults: R60 per person Pensioners (adults 60 years and over): R55 per person Children under 12: R30 per person Children under 6: Free entry Learners on school tour: R30 per person Calculate what it would cost this family to all go up in the sky car. (4) 1.1.3 The current exchange rate is 1 ZAR = 0,08 USD. Determine what the family would be paying for the tickets in USD. (3) IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

(4) 1.2 The capacity of the stadium when it is full is 85 000 people and an average ticket to a Kaizer Chiefs game costs R90. If they only managed to sell three quarters of the tickets, calculate the amount of money the stadium loses out on. (4) IEB Copyright © 2018

The stadium's field is 320 m × 280 m. The organisers would like to split this field into mini- fields, with each mini-field measuring 30 m × 15 m. If each mini-field must have its own 5 metre border on all four sides, determine the maximum number of mini-fields they could have. (6) [35] IEB Copyright © 2018

The limit in terms of the number of fish that one person may catch daily is called the bag limit. Below is a table of some of the species of fish with their minimum sizes and bag limits. Use this information to answer the questions that follow: Species of fish Min. Bag Common name size limits Anchovies None None Bronze bream (bluefish) 30 cm 2 Cape knifejaw None 5 Galjoen 35 cm 2 Hottentot 22 cm 10 Pinky (piggy) 7,5 cm 10 Scotsman 40 cm 1 [Source: <http://www.daff.gov.za/>] 2.1 If a fisherman does not know the bag limits, which fish would be the safest for him to catch and why? (2) 2.2 The KwaZulu-Natal Parks Board is responsible for ensuring that these limitations on the specific species are adhered to. The Parks Board does this by issuing fines to fishermen who do not abide by these rules. The fine is R500 for the first fish caught that exceeds the bag limit and a further R250 for every fish thereafter. 2.2.1 Write down an equation that will represent the relationship between the number of fish caught over the limit and the cost of the fine. Let C be the total cost of the fine and n the number of fish caught over the bag limit. (5) IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

(8) 2.2.3 Use your graph to determine the amount a fisherman would be fined if he caught 7 galjoen. (2) 2.2.4 The fisherman needs to get money to pay his fines. If he sells the 7 fish he caught for R240 each, will he have enough money to pay his fines? Justify your answer with calculations. (3) IEB Copyright © 2018

Instead of pulling out 86 million tons of fish that year, we actually took 130 million tons of fish out of the oceans. Since then, those numbers have gone down. Officially, the quantity of fish caught globally has declined by 1.2 million tons each year since the 1996 peak, but the paper's authors found that actually, we've only been reducing that massive number by 0.38 million tons per year.
