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 Years 5 10 15 20 25 30 Interest Factor % 9,00% 20,76 12,67 10,14 9,00 8,39 8,05 9,25% 20,88 12,80 10,29 9,16 8,56 8,23 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?

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.

(9) 2.2 Sipho is teaching Social Sciences to Grade 9 learners at his school. He uses the pie charts below to show how the population percentages in South Africa changed according to the different race groups. The pie charts represent 1911 and 2004 respectively. Study the pie charts below to answer the questions below. [Source: http://reddit.com] 2.2.1 Determine the probability of randomly choosing a person other than African from the 2004 population.

(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.
