QUESTION 1
1.1 DVD Musika is having a sale. All CDs are reduced by 15% and all DVDs are
marked down by a . Calculate the following:
1.1.1 If CDs were marked at R125,00, how much will you pay for them
while they are on sale? (2)
1.1.2 If all DVDs were R215, calculate what their sale price will be. (3)
1.2 During the holidays Peter spent 2 hours gardening. He spent 45 minutes
mowing the lawn, 20 minutes trimming the edges, 30 minutes weeding and
the remainder of the time watering the flowers. What fraction of the time (in
the simplest form) did Peter spend:
1.2.1 mowing the lawn? (2)
1.2.2 watering the flowers? (4)
1.3 Naledi has been asked to bake 50 cheese muffins for a school function.
After looking in all her recipe books she found the following recipe:
Cheese Muffins
(makes 30)
600 g Flour
50 mℓ Baking Powder
450 g Grated Cheese
60 mℓ Oil
750 mℓ Milk
To assist Naledi, calculate how much she needs of the following to make the
50 cheese muffins required:
1.3.1 Flour (2)
1.3.2 Grated Cheese (2)
1.4 Peter and Naledi went to George with their parents during the holidays. It
took them 6 hours to travel 561 km from King William’s Town to George.
The car’s petrol tank was full when they left King William’s Town. When
they stopped at George the tank was filled up with 31,17 litres of petrol.
1.4.1 What was their average speed for the trip? Give your answer to
the nearest km.
Use the formula:
Distance travelled = speed x time (4)
1.4.2 Calculate how far they travelled on 1 litre of petrol. Give your
answer correct to the nearest km. (3)

QUESTION 3
Cereal is sold in boxes to prevent it from breaking while being transported and
handled. The company has to be careful in the design of the box so as to not use
too much cardboard. The picture below show the packaging decided upon and the
measurements.
25 cm
7,5 cm
20 cm
3.1 Draw a net for the cereal box showing all the necessary measurements. (4)
3.2 Calculate the surface area of the box in cm2. Remember there are six sides
to the box and each side is a rectangular shape.
The area for a rectangle = length x breadth (5)
3.3 If cardboard cost 0,06 cents per cm2, calculate how much the cardboard for
1 box will cost. (3)
3.4 If printing of the box costs 0,04 cents per cm2, calculate the cost for printing
1 box. (3)
3.5 Calculate the volume of the box.
Use the formula: Volume = length x breadth x height (3)
3.6 If 7,5 g of cereal has a volume of 1 cm3, calculate how many grams of cereal
will fit into this box. (3)
3.7 The cereal boxes get cut from rolls of card measuring 2 m by 15 m. The box
nets are placed next to each other without any spaces in between. Calculate
how many boxes can be cut from one roll of card. (5)
