QUESTION 1
1.1 Anver, who was recently retrenched at his workplace decided to start his
own taxi business. From his former employer, Anver was paid out a lump
sum amount of R400 000. He used some of this money to pay a deposit
of 15% on a vehicle to the car dealer. After doing some research, he
decided to buy a Toyota Quantum 2.5D – 4D 14-seater passenger bus.
Price: R392 900
Interest Rate: Prime rate + 1%
Term: 72 months
1.1.1 Calculate the deposit he paid on his purchase. (3)
1.1.2 What percentage of the money he received from his former
employer, did he use for the deposit? (2)
1.1.3 After paying the deposit for the vehicle, he invested the balance
for the same period over which he will pay for the vehicle. The
best offer he could get, was 8,75% interest per annum
compounded half yearly. Calculate how much his investment will
be worth at the end of the period.
Use the formula: A = P(1 + i)n where;
A = Future value
P = Starting value
i = interest rate and
n = number of years (6)
1.1.4 When he bought the vehicle, the prime rate was 8,5%. Calculate
how much Anver will pay for the vehicle at the end of the period.
Use the formula: A = P(1 + ni) where;
A = Future value
P = Starting value
i = interest rate and
n = number of years (5)
1.1.5 The salesman told Anver that the percentage that he will pay on
the interest is less than 40%. By means of calculation show
whether the statement is true or not. (4)

QUESTION 3
3.1 Ms Kriel, an educator and coach for the girls’ soccer team at Eastville High
School, wants to raise funds for new soccer gear (outfits). She came up
with the idea of having a “Miss Eastville High” beauty contest. All the girls
that are interested collected the entry forms from Ms Kriel.
In order for entrants to be successful, they must meet the following criteria:
Height (length) in meters must be at least 1,55 m.
Weight (mass) in kilograms must be at least 55 kg.
Body Mass Index (BMI)* must be normal.
*NB.
BMI is a measure to determine the best weight range for a person’s
health.
BMI MEANING
Below 18,5 Underweight
18,5 – 24,9 Normal weight
25 – 29,9 Overweight
30 and above Obese
After the closing date Ms Kriel recorded the following data from the
entrants (E*):

3.1.6 At the time of the contest, the school had exchange students from
America. One of the learners claimed that they don’t use the same
formula as in QUESTION 3.1.5, but the following formula:
BMI = 703 x
Prove to the learner that the metric formula for the BMI given in
QUESTION 3.1.5 can be converted to calculate the BMI for
imperial measurements where 1 pound = 0,4536 kg and 1 inch =
2,54 cm. (5)
3.1.7 What do you think are the reasons for people becoming obese?
Give TWO possible reasons. (2)
3.1.8 Suggest TWO ways to people who suffer from obesity how they
can reduce the risk of being obese. (2)

Boots R350,00 per pair at 10% discount for the first 10 pairs
and thereafter an extra discount of 5% per pair
(VAT included)
*VAT is calculated at 14%.
Ms. Kriel hired the community hall for the event on the condition that she
would pay R5,00 for every ticket paid at the door. The venue can only
accommodate 450 people. The tickets were priced at R 40,00 each. All
tickets had to be paid at the door and not in advance. The hall was two
thirds full. Taking all of the above in consideration, do you think Ms Kriel
will reach her goal of having enough money to buy the soccer gear? Show
all calculations. (15)

QUESTION 4
4.1 The Wheelers Disabled Society in Port Elizabeth approached local
schools to take part in a clean-up campaign in order to raise funds for
those who cannot afford to buy their own wheelchair. After the Easter
weekend, they have identified a picnic area of seven hectares where a lot
of litter was left. The litter (bottles, plastic, cans, tins, paper, etc.)
collected will then be recycled to raise funds.
The executive members of the society compiled the following table to
show the number of learners who volunteered against the number of
square meters that each learner had to clean. (1 hectare = 10 000 m2).
Table 4
No. of square
3 500 1 750 A 700 350 100
meters (m2)
No. of learners 20 40 50 100 B 700
4.1.1 Name the quantity that remains constant in each of the situations
above. (1)
4.1.2 Calculate the missing values A and B respectively. (4)
4.1.3 How many learners must volunteer to clear a littered area of
875 m2? (2)
4.1.4 Use the table above to write down a formula. Use number of
square meters as (s) and the number of learners as (l). (3)
4.1.5 Complete: The number of square meters that a learner has to
clean, is inversely proportional to ... (1)
4.1.6 Use the information in the table to draw a graph using

4.2 The following diagram (not drawn to scale) shows two standard parking
bays with dimensions, 2 500 mm wide and 5 000 mm long each. To be
suitable for disabled people there must be an aisle between the two
standard parking bays as illustrated in the diagram or a single parking bay
must be wider than a standard parking bay.
4.2.1 Why do you think there must be an aisle between a double
parking for disabled people or that a single disabled parking bay is
wider than a standard parking bay? (2)
4.2.2 The width for the disabled parking bay differs from that of a
standard parking bay. If the width of the aisle is 40% less than
that of a standard parking bay, determine the width of ONE
disabled parking. (3)
4.2.3 Hence, calculate the difference in area between a standard
parking bay and a disabled parking bay. Give your answer in m2. (4)

QUESTION 5
5.1 Naziah, a prospective chef, is trying out a new savoury called half-moons.
To make this savoury she has to use pastry, roll it out and cut into circles
which will be folded into half-moons. The circles (equal in size) will be cut
across the length and the width of the rectangular rolled out pastry. The
following diagram (not drawn to scale) shows the rolled out pastry with
some of the circles.
30 cm
The following formulae can be used.
Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth
Area of circle = r2 where = 3,14
5.1.1 The area of the rolled out pastry is 1 440 cm2. Determine the
length of the pastry. (2)
5.1.2 Determine the diameter of ONE of the circles. (1)
5.1.3 Determine how many circles can be cut out of the rolled pastry. (3)
5.1.4 The remainder of the pastry (wasted pastry) cannot be rolled
again as the pastry is going to lose its puffiness. Calculate the
area of the wasted pastry. (4)
5.2 If Naziah makes 10 dozen of these half-moons of which 75% is filled with
mince filling and the rest with chicken filling. Calculate the probability that
you will choose two consecutive half-moons with chicken filling without
replacing the first one. Write your answer in the simplest fraction. (5)
