QUESTION 2

 Mrs Litlake bought a set of six dinner chairs. She now
 has to assemble the chairs.
 The picture alongside shows an assembled chair.

                                                                                          94 cm

                                                                                  41 cm
                                                              42 cm

2.1       ANNEXURE B shows the pieces and the desired quantities required to assemble the chair
          and the steps to follow to assemble the chair.

          2.1.1   Use ANNEXURE B to determine the number of JCBC screws (F) required to
                  assemble ONE chair.                                                                      (3)

          2.1.2   By referring to the picture of the chair above, determine which part(s) of the
                  chair (from ANNEXURE B) are still to be fitted onto the chair in STEP 2 of
                  ANNEXURE B.                                                                              (3)

          2.1.3   According to the diagram of the assembled chair, the chair occupies a floor
                  area of 42 cm x 41 cm.

                  Calculate the minimum floor area occupied by each chair.

                  Use the following formula:
                  Area = length x width                                                                    (3)

2.2       The actual height of the chair as indicated on the diagram is 94 cm. If it is placed in
          a box that allow 1cm EACH side for packaging, what will the dimensions of the box be? (4)

2.3       What will piece K in ANNEXURE B parts be used for?                                              (2)

2.4       Read the following information carefully to answer the questions that follows:

         Material used to cover the cushion of the chairs is R64,50 per meter.
         Each chair needs approximately 1,1 meter per chair.
         Labour cost is R75 per chair.

          2.4.1   Calculate how much material Mrs. Litlake needs to buy, to cover all the chairs. (2)

          2.4.2   Calculate the cost of material needed for all the chairs.                               (2)

          2.4.3   Calculate the total cost of material and the labour?                                    (4)
                                                                                                         [23]

QUESTION 3

 Mr Letlake’s youngest son Thabang and his fiancé are going to get married. They have chosen a hall for
 their ceremony and decided on how the seating plan should look like for the reception. The seating plan
 is represented in ANNEXURE C.

 Refer to the seating plan in ANNEXURE C and answer the questions below:

3.1     How many people do the couple intend to invite.                                              (3)

3.2     Why are there no chairs arranged on the shorter sides of the tables?                         (2)

3.3     A person seated at Table 6 close to the main table wants to put her gift on the gift table.
        Describe a possible route this person can take without walking over the dance floor.        (2)

3.4     Tables 1, 2 and 3 are reserved for the bridal couple, parents of the couple,
        1 bridesmaid and 1 best man. Calculate the probability that, if you are invited as a
        guest, you will be sitting at a table with an even number. Write your final answer to
        three decimal places.                                                                        (2)

3.5     The caretaker of the hall stated that the area of the dance floor is 1 of the floor area
                                                                             4
        of the hall. The length of the floor is 16 m and the width is 12 m. Calculate the area of
         the dance floor.

        You may use the formula:
        Area = length × width                                                                        (4)

3.6
      The bridal couple have to spend a lot of money for their entire wedding reception. The
      reception will be held from 17:00 to midnight.

      Their expenses are as follows:

      Hiring of the venue: R6 500,00; Draping and décor: R7 750,00

      Disc Jockey (DJ): R350 per hour or part thereof

      Catering: R350 per person for the first 100 guests and R200 for every person above 100

      NOTE: The Disc Jockey will also be included for the catering cost.

      The bridal couple stated it will cost R50 000 for the entire reception.
      Verify, with the necessary calculations, whether the statement is valid or not.               (10)
                                                                                                    [22]
