The organisers must choose between the Impala Conference Centre and the community hall as a venue. A musical group has agreed to provide free music. 1. The organisers compare the costs for the two venues. a) The Impala Conference Centre has no basic fee, but charges R120 per person. 2
Calculate the missing value (A) in Table 1. Show all your calculations. (2) Table 1: Cost of hiring the Impala Conference Centre Number of tickets sold (n) 0 50 100 160 200 Cost (C ) (R) 0 6 000 12 000 A 24 000 b) The community hall charges a basic fee of R3 000 and an additional R90 per person. The following formula expresses the cost (C) of hiring the community hall in terms of the number (n) of tickets sold: C = R90 × n + R3 000 i) Use the formula to calculate the missing value in Table 2 (B). Show all your calculations. (3) Table 2: Cost of hiring the community hall Number of tickets sold (n) 0 50 100 B 200 Cost (C ) (R) 3 000 7 500 12 000 15 600 21 000 ii) Use the data in Table 2 and draw a straight line graph on a copy of the grid provided in Annexure A on page 165.

(1) d) Suppose that all the tickets are sold. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 and write down the ratio of the cost of hiring Impala Conference Centre for 200 people with hiring the community hall for the same number of people. (2) 2. The tickets are sold for R150 each. The following formula expresses the total income (I ) in terms of the number (n) of tickets sold: I = 150 × n. Table 3 shows the number of tickets sold and the income received.
