QUESTION 1
1.1 Mapotjo plans to purchase a bakkie (motor vehicle). She received the following
quotation from a car dealer on 28 February 2018:
Extract of a quotation for a bakkie from a dealer:
Rand (R)
Selling price (excluding VAT) without accessories (extras) 160 087,72
Discount 6 140,00
ACCESSORIES (EXTRAS)
Smash-and-grab film 3 500,00
Door protector 3 500,00
OTHER CHARGES
On-road charges 4 298,25
Transaction fee 1 315,79
SUBTOTAL 166 561,76
VALUE-ADDED TAX 14%
TOTAL DUE 189 880,41
[Source: Group 1 Nissan and The Glen]
Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.
1.1.1 Calculate (rounded off to ONE decimal place) the percentage discount
given on the bakkie's selling price, excluding VAT. (3)
1.1.2 Show how the amount of R166 561,76 was calculated. (3)
1.1.3 Give ONE reason why customers would prefer to install the accessories
(extras), as shown in the quotation. (2)
1.1.4 Mapotjo has an investment of R1,25 million. The money was invested as
follows:
« Twenty-seven (27) months investment period
e 6% interest per annum, compounded annually
Show whether the interest earned on this investment is sufficient to cover
the total purchase price of R189 880,41. (9)

L.1.5 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 x 1%
= R182 500+ RI 825
= R184 325
Identify the mistake the dealer has made in calculating the new selling
price. Hence, calculate the new selling price, including 15% VAT
(excluding accessories and other charges).
1.2 After Mapotjo had purchased the bakkie, she decided to paint the cargo bin (loading
box) of her bakkie with rubberising paint. The spread rate of the paint is 0,25 m/e.
The rubberising paint is sold in 5 £ tins.
A photograph of the cargo bin of a bakkie and a simplified model of the cargo bin with
dimensions are given in ANNEXURE A.
NOTE: Rubberising paint — a special paint used to coat the surface of a cargo bin
Use the information above and ANNEXURE A to answer the questions that follow.
1.2.1 The cargo bin does not have a flat surface area and therefore the surface
area must be increased by 2% to accommodate the uneven surface area.
(a) Calculate how many litres of rubberising paint Mapotjo needs to
purchase in order to rubberise the cargo bin of her bakkie.
You may use the formula:
Surface area of an open box
= Width x length + 2(length x height + width x height)
(b) Calculate the cost of applying TWO coats of rubberising paint
(excluding labour) ifa 5 £ tin costs R549, including VAT.
1.2.2 Explain the significance of applying rubberising paint to the cargo bin of
a bakkie.
1.3 It takes 20 minutes to apply a layer of rubberising paint. There is a 4-hour waiting
period before the second coat of rubberising paint can be applied. In addition, a
further drying time of 2 hours is required after the second coat has been applied.
Determine, with calculations, at what time the bakkie would be ready if the workshop
started rubberising the cargo bin at 08:15.

QUESTION 2
2.1 TABLE 1 in ANNEXURE B shows data relating to the import of personal care and
cosmetic products in Australia for the period 2013 to 2015.
Use the information in ANNEXURE B to answer the questions that follow.
211 Determine:
(a) Missing value A (rounded off to a whole percentage) using the
following formula:
2015 imports — 2013 imports
% change (A) = 2013 imports x 100%
(b) The median of the percentage change for the period 2013 to 2015.
2.1.2 Describe the trend in the imports of make-up and skincare products.
2.1.3 The negative value of the percentage change does not necessarily imply
that the import value of the products decreased continuously over the
three-year period.
Name TWO different products in TABLE 1 and explain how they support
the statement above.
2.1.4 State, with a reason, whether the data in TABLE 1 can be represented
using a single pie chart.
2.1.5 A line graph showing the % share of 2015 imports for the first eight
products in TABLE 1 has been drawn on the ANSWER SHEET.
On the same grid, draw another line graph representing the percentage
change for the period 2013 to 2015 for the same eight products.

2.2 | Nomsa plans to visit Los Angeles for an educational conference. She will be travelling from
her hotel to the conference venue with an Uber taxi.
An Uber taxi is operated using two options, as shown below.
Option 1: UPFRONT fare
= base fare (call-out fee) + (number of miles x per mile fare)
Option 2: POST-TRIP fare
= (number of minutes < per minute fare) + (number of miles < per mile fare)
TABLE 2 below shows the different Uber taxis and their respective rates in Los Angeles for
both UPFRONT and POST-TRIP fare options, including an example of a 10-mile trip using
the UPFRONT fare option.
TABLE 2: RATES FOR UBER TAXIS IN LOS ANGELES FOR UPFRONT AND
POST-TRIP FARE OPTIONS

*Minimum fare $4,65 $15,00 $30,00
Cancellation fee $5,00 $10,00 $10,00
Total fare (for a 10-mile trip
using the UPFRONT option) $9,00 $43,50 B

Calculate the missing value B.
Calculate (rounded off to the nearest mile) the maximum distance for
which a person can use the UberX taxi if you pay the minimum upfront
fare.
Nomsa travelled a distance of 29,73 miles with UberBLACK. The
post-trip fare option was used and the trip took 1 hour and 9 minutes to
complete.
Nomasa stated that she would have saved more than $20,00 if she had used
the upfront fare option.
Show, with calculations, whether her statement is correct.

QUESTION 3
3.1 The Big Five Marathon is an annual event in South Africa. It can be run as a full
42 km marathon or as a half-marathon of 21 km.
The race has specific cut-off times (certain compulsory distances to be covered within
specific times). Runners who do not meet the cut-off times are forced to withdraw
from the race.
Below are the cut-off times for the full marathon.

Determine (as a decimal fraction) the probability of a runner of the Big
Five marathon route accessing a refreshment station that offers ONLY
Coke and water.
Give the general direction in which a marathon runner is heading when
passing the 20 km mark.
Consider the heights above sea level for this race.
(a) Explain why a runner was CORRECT when he stated that he was
running uphill from the start to the 10 km mark.
(b) Express, in the form 1: ..., the lowest possible height above sea
level to the highest height above sea level.
Explain why there are cut-off times for a marathon.
For the half-marathon a runner must cover a distance of 16,5 km in a time
of 5 hours from the start of the race to beat the cut-off 2 time for the
half-marathon.
A runner of the full marathon compared his speed with the speed of
a half-marathon runner and stated that he had to run 2,7 km/h faster in
order to beat the cut-off 2 time of the full marathon.
Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether he is CORRECT.
You may use the formula:
Distance = speed x time

3.2 More water must be taken to the refreshment stations. The water will be transported in
cylindrical buckets (with lids) with a maximum capacity of 20 litres of water.
The cylindrical buckets, containing water, with lids are shown below.

Use the information and picture above to answer the questions that follow.
3.2.1 Determine the maximum height (in cm) of the water in the bucket if the
outside diameter of the bucket is 31,2 cm.
You may use the formula:
Volume of a cylinder = z x (radius)” x height
where m= 3,142 and 1 £ = 1 000 cm? (7)
3.2.2 Buckets are placed on the pallet, as shown in the diagram above.
(a) Calculate the unused area (in cm?) of the rectangular floor of the
solid pallet.
You may use the formula:
Area of a circle = 7 x (radius)’, where 1 = 3,142 (6)
(b) Determine length C, as shown in the diagram above. (3)
3.2.3 The organiser would have preferred each
pallet to have 12 buckets arranged in
three rows of four each, as shown in the
diagram alongside.
Calculate the percentage by which the length of the pallet should be
increased to accommodate this new arrangement. (5)
