1.1 Anita runs a business and she wants to buy the cellphone for her personal
use. She visited two cellphone companies to compare the prices of the
same phone. The findings are listed in the tables below as follows:
Nokia Lumia 630
Company A Company B
R169 PM x 24 R169 PM x 24
R100 airtime PM 50 anytime minutes
Peak time SMS R0,50 50 SMSes PM
Off peak SMS R0,50 100 MB data PM
Peak time calls R0,79 Peak time SMS R0,80
Off peak calls R0,79 Off peak SMS R0,35
Cash: R1 899 Peak time calls R1,30
Optional insurance Off peak calls R1,12
@R55 per month Cash: R1 999
Optional insurance
@ R55 per month
Off peak: 20:00(06:59:59 (Monday to Friday)
Peak time: 07:00–19:59:59 (Monday to Friday)
Weekends: Friday 20:00–Monday 06:59:59 and Public holidays
1.1.1 Calculate the total cost of this cellphone from Company A for the
duration of contract excluding calls and SMSes if she also took
insurance. (4)
1.1.2 Calculate the total cost of an 8 minute cellphone call from
Company A made at 20:25 on a Friday. (2)
1.1.3 Calculate how much will the cellphone following year from

2015.
Times Peak Off peak SMSs
Duration of a call 18 calls at 15 calls at 25 SMSes off peak
2 minutes per 3 minutes per 10 SMSes peak
call call hour
NOTE: All the calls and SMSes have been corrected to the nearest
minute.
1.2.1 Calculate the total amount she will pay for the off peak SMSes for
the first week if she uses Company B. (2)
1.2.2 Determine the ratio of the calls made during peak time, to that of
the calls made during off peak time. (2)

peak time. Give your answer in its simplest form. (2)
1.3 Anita joined a stokvel group of 8 women and started paying contributions in
January 2014 and each member has to contribute R400,00 a month. Each
member had to raise an amount of R2 000,00 excluding monthly
contributions. They will share the money amongst each other on the 10th of
December 2014. The last month for contributions is November 2014. If
you borrow any amount the interest charged is 20% of the amount loan
debt per month. The loan increases by the interest amount if not paid. The
interest raised by a member from a loan will belong to her.
1.3.1 Anita took a loan of R1 525, 00 for two months. She did not pay
the interest in the first month. Calculate the total interest amount
she will have to pay at the end of two months. (2)
1.3.2 Determine the total amount they will have as a group, including
Anita’s additional interest amount. (3)
1.3.3 Calculate the total amount Anita will receive on the day they share
their money, including her own additional interest amount. (3)
