QUESTION 1
1.1 Ayryn bought a house in 2018. She decided to draw up a loan model for the duration
of the loan period as shown in ANNEXURE A (some information has been omitted).
Use the information in ANNEXURE A (TABLE 1) to answer the questions below.
1.1.1 Show, with calculations, how the interest amount of R6 088,06 for month 3
was calculated. (3)
1.1.2 The bank uses the following Home Loan Factor Table to calculate the
monthly repayments on home loans:
TABLE 2: Home Loan Factor Table 2018

Interest
Factor

9,50% 21,00 12,94 10,44 9,32 8,74 8,41
9,75% 21,12 13,08 10,59 9,49 8,91 8,59
10,00% 21,25 13,22 10,75 9,65 9,09 8,78
10,25% 21,37 13,35 10,90 9,82 9,26 8,96
[Adapted from http://capetownproperty.blaauwberg.net]
Use TABLE 2 above with TABLE 1 in ANNEXURE A and show how the
monthly repayment was calculated.
NOTE:
Monthly repayments are calculated by dividing the home loan amount
by 1 000 and multiplying by the factor.
The factor used depends on the number of years and the interest rate. (3)
1.1.3 Calculate the closing balance of month 3. (2)
1.1.4 Ayryn stated if she had chosen a shorter period, her monthly repayment would
have been less. Refer to the loan factor table and briefly explain, without
calculations, whether Ayryn’s statement is valid or not. (3)
1.1.5 A friend told Ayryn that after 119 repayments, she will already have paid
R15 000 more than the original home loan amount. Verify, with the necessary
calculations, whether this statement is valid or not. (5)
1.1.6 What effect will an increased monthly repayment have on the total interest she
has to pay on her home loan? (2)

1.2 Ayryn wants to extend one of her rooms. The extension will be 2 metres by 2 metres.
The builder must lay the concrete floor before the building can start. The builder will
use the chart as shown below as a guideline.
[Source: http://pinterest.com]
The height of the concrete floor is 300 mm.
1.2.1 Calculate the volume of the concrete floor in cubic metres (m3) that must be
filled with concrete.
You may use the formula:
Volume = Length × Breadth × Height (3)
1.2.2 Determine how many bags of cement should be used for the volume
calculated in QUESTION 1.2.1. (4)
1.2.3 After the building of the room was completed, Ayryn needed to paint the
inside walls. The painter indicated that two coats will be needed.
The surface area of the room to be painted is 15 m2.
8% more paint will be needed.
The spread rate is 5 m2 per litre.
Calculate how many 5-litre tins must be bought. (4)
1.3 The graph shown in ANNEXURE B shows the prediction of the South African
average house prices forecast to 2020.
Use the graph (ANNEXURE B) to answer the following questions.
1.3.1 It is predicted that the price of an average house in South Africa increased by
5% in 2015 and by 4% thereafter to 2020.
Based on the above prediction determine the price of an average house for
2016. (4)
1.3.2 Calculate the percentage change in the price of an average house in South
Africa for the period illustrated in the graph. Give your final answer to the
nearest percentage. (4)

The organisers got two quotes as follow:
Option 1: R1 500 for the hall and R250 per person for the meal
Option 2: R270 per person for the singles and 4% less for couples per person
2.3.1 Determine the total number of people that will attend the farewell. (2)
2.3.2 The organisers claim that if they choose Option 1 instead of Option 2, they can
have more money left to spend on photos. Verify, with the necessary
calculations, whether the statement is valid or not. (8)

QUESTION 4
4.1 Jona wants to build his own hot air balloon. He follows the illustrations as shown in
ANNEXURE D.
4.1.1 Diagram R is only a part of Diagram Q. Determine the total area of the
material that the hot air balloon is made of.

4.2 Jona wants to have a ride in a hot air balloon. He did some research and came across
an illustration shown in ANNEXURE E. It shows how hot air balloons are lifted
depending on the temperature.
4.2.1 Use ANNEXURE E to describe the relationship between the temperature of
the hot air balloon and the lift of the hot air balloon. (4)
4.2.2 The table below shows the density of air at sea level for various temperatures

4.2.3 The instructor has hot air balloons with a variety of colours. Thirty-three
green, eight orange, nineteen pink, twenty-one red and twelve blue. Determine
the probability that Jona will choose either a green or a blue hot air balloon to
ride in. Give your final answer as a common fraction in its simplest form. (3)
4.3 Jona and three friends wants to visit Cappadocia, a historical region in Central Anatolia
in Turkey where they will also go for the hot air balloon rides. They investigated the
cost of their accommodation and the cost of the hot air balloon rides to get an idea of
the costs.
They received the following information:
Accommodation: R1 030 per person per night
Hot air balloon rides: R750 per person per ride
NOTE:
They are checking in on Monday (15 April 2019) and checking out on Friday (19
April 2019).
Group bookings for the hot air balloon rides for 4 persons will be charged at a
discount of 15% per person.
Use the information above to calculate how much Jona and his friends will pay in total
for the accommodation and one hot air balloon ride, if they go as a group. Give your
final answer in Turkish Lira.
Exchange rates as at 08 February 2019:
1$ (American Dollar) = 5,25 Turkish Lira
1$ (American Dollar) = 13,63 ZAR (South African Rand)
