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 Company B cost in cash, if the inflation rate is 4,4% per year.

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) 1.2.3 Determine the probability that the SMSes made by Anita are at off 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.
