QUESTION 1
1.1 Pat and Muzi have decided to open a perfume gallery. They rented a shop at
Mokopane mall. A fixed amount of R12 000 is paid annually for electricity usage.
They buy cylinders of perfume and package the perfumes in 50 mℓ bottles which are
filled up to 95% capacity.
· Monthly rental fee is R3 800,00
· The empty bottles including the caps are sold in packs of 100 at R370,50.
· The total annual cost of renting the label printing machine is R6 905,00 but is
paid monthly.
· The cost of a roll of self-adhesive paper labels is R65,00 and covers 50
bottles.
NB: All prices include 15% VAT.
1.1.1 Calculate the actual volume of the perfume in a 50 mℓ bottle. (2)
1.1.2 Calculate the number of bottles of perfume that can be filled using one 50 ℓ
cylinder. (3)
1.1.3 Determine the sum of monthly fixed costs. (2)
1.1.4 How many rolls of self-adhesive paper labels will be needed for 1 000 bottles
of perfume? (2)
1.1.5 Calculate the amount of VAT charged on the label printing machine. (4)
1.1.6 Perfume is sold in a 50 ℓ cylinder for R58 000,00 and in a 30 ℓ cylinder for
R35 250,00.
(a) Which one of the refill perfumes will be cheaper? (5)
(b) Muzi said it will cost them less than R70 000 to package the first
1 000 bottles within the first month if they buy the perfume in a 50 ℓ
cylinder.
Verify his claim. (6)

1.2 Pat and Muzi relocated to Polokwane where they managed to build their own shop.
They found a new factory which sells perfumes in smaller 10 ℓ cylinders for
R3 000,00. They decided to buy these smaller cylinders and re-package them in
bottles. They sell the perfumes in bottles of 100 for R4 700,00.
1.2.1 Show that the unit selling price of the perfume is R47,00. (2)
1.2.2 Write down an equation which can be used to calculate the income from the
sale of perfumes in the form:
Total Income (in Rand) = … (2)
1.2.3 ANSWER SHEET 1 has a graph showing the total cost for buying the first
900 bottles of perfume. On the same system of axes, draw the graph of the
total income for these 900 bottles of perfume. (4)
1.2.4 Use the graph to explain the break-even point in the given context and write
down the number of bottles and total income at this point. (4)
1.3 ANNEXURE A shows two types of graphs. The pie chart shows the percentages of
different perfume sales for March to May. A total of 12 000 bottles of perfume was
sold during this period. The incomplete bar graph shows ONLY the number of
Fantasy perfumes sold for March and April.
1.3.1 Calculate the number of bottles of Fantasy perfume sold during this period. (5)
1.3.2 Pat claimed that more Fantasy perfumes were sold in May than in March.
Verify his claim. (3)

(c) Hence, use calculations to determine whether the interquartile range for
cars sold in 2017 is less than or greater than 27 000. (6)
2.1.3 The marketing manager claimed that on average, the number of cars sold per
month in 2018 is more than the number of cars sold per month in 2017.

QUESTION 3
3.1 Students from the University of Limpopo are undertaking a trip from Polokwane to
Middelburg for in-service training. They have hired a bus from Mayi’s Luxury Bus
Company. Professor Du Toit and Dr Nkomo are academic organizers for this
in-service training.
Study the map on ANNEXURE B and answer the following questions.
3.1.1 What is the general direction of Middelburg from Polokwane? (2)
3.1.2 Describe a detailed set of directions that they will take to travel from
Polokwane to Middelburg, using national roads. (5)
3.1.3 Write ONE advantage of using the national roads. (2)
3.1.4 Use the bar scale on the map to calculate the actual distance that they
travelled from Polokwane to Middelburg, as the crow flies.
Write your answer in miles if 1 mile = 1,61 km (7)
3.1.5 The bus was travelling at an average speed of 120 km/h and they stopped
twice for 20 minutes at each stop. Zinzi claimed that it will take them 3 hours,
47 minutes to reach Middelburg. Verify her claim.
Use the formula : Distance = Average speed × time (6)
3.2 Mr Mayi, who is regularly in Liberia, deposits 65% of his income into his wife’s

QUESTION 4
4.1 Peter, the sales manager at HGM, and his team discussed strategies to improve their
sales of perfume. They intend using four different strategies.
4.1.1 The first strategy is to package their perfume using a rectangular bottle and a
cylindrical bottle. They have decided to price the bottles differently. The
bottles will be filled to 95% capacity.
The picture below shows the bottles and the dimensions of the bottles.
Cylindrical bottle Rectangular bottle
Diameter = 6 cm Length = 5 cm
Breadth = 2 cm
Height = 1,6 cm
Height = 45 mm
(a) Why are the perfume bottles not filled to 100% capacity? (2)
(b) State, without any calculations and giving a reason for your
choice, which bottle of perfume will be priced higher. (2)

(c) Use calculations to prove that if the volumes of the bottles are
rounded-off to the nearest whole number, the capacity of the bottles
is the same. Leave your answer in cubic centimetres.
The following formulae may be used :
Volume of a rectangular bottle = ℓ× ×
Volume of a cylindrical bottle = ×( ) ×
The value of = , (8)
4.1.2 The second strategy they discussed was to give a free gift of bath salts to
customers who spent more than R500,00. Each bottle of bath salts will be
filled using three measuring cylinders of equal dimensions as indicated
below.
3 MEASURING CYLINDERS BOTTLE OF BATH SALTS
Radius = 2,5 cm
Height = 10 cm
NB: 1 g = 1 cm3 = 1 ml
The bottle of bath salts has a capacity of 600 g.
Use calculations to show that the salt granules from three measuring
cylinders will fit into the bath salts bottle.
You may use the following formula:
Volume of a cylindrical bottle = ×( ) ×
The value of = , (5)

4.1.3 The third strategy was to sell different types of perfumes with differing
ratios of perfume : oil : alcohol.
Ratio
Type of perfume
perfume : oil : alcohol
EDT 5 : 90 : 5
EDP 12 : 85 : 3
The manager claimed that the difference in the amount of oil (rounded to
the nearest unit) between the two types of perfumes in a 45 mℓ bottle is,
3 mℓ.
Verify his claim by showing calculations? (6)
4.1.4 The last strategy is to have monthly competitions where customers can win
prizes.
The prizes are hidden behind the letters of the word
“CONCENTRATION” and the chosen letter is not replaced. The chosen
letter is then removed and cannot be chosen again.
The first customer randomly chose the letter “R”.
Determine the probability that the second letter chosen will be a “C”. (3)
4.2 Paul, who is 52 years old, is an employee at a Research Company. He earned an annual
income of R338 000 for the 2018/2019 tax year.
· He contributes 7,5% of his basic salary to the pension fund.
· He also donates R46 800 per annum to a registered charity organisation.
The donation is tax deductible.
· He contributes R4 550 to the medical aid monthly, for himself and his 2 children.
· ANNEXURE C is a tax table for individuals for the tax year: March 2018 –
February 2019
Use ANNEXURE C to answer the following questions.
4.2.1 Show, using calculations, that his taxable income is R267 800,00. (5)
4.2.2 Determine his annual medical credits. (3)
4.2.3 Hence, calculate his annual income tax. (5)
