QUESTION 2

2.1 Mr and Mrs De Klerk plan to renew their wedding vows at the Ennyani wedding venue.
They are comparing the costs of a weekday and a weekend package. They plan to invite
42 couples and 12 single people. (The singles include Mr De Klerk’s mother and
Mrs De Klerk’s father, who are retired and over 65 years old, 4 children under the age of
5, and 6 children above 5 years old). The table below indicates the prices for the Ennyani
wedding venue on Monday to Thursday and on a Saturday and Sunday.

Table 2: Extract from a budget for a wedding venue

Days of the week

Saturday Sunday Monday – Thursday
Venue hire R15 650 R13 450 R0
Price per person R 432 R432 R515
Minimum number of guests 50 40 40
Maximum number of guests 100 100 100

[Adapted from https://www.ennyani.co.za/wedding-venues/calculator]

NOTE:

# All prices include 15% VAT.

# Children under the age of 5 pay 25% of the price per person as they do not eat as much.

# Children above the age of 5 pay full price.

# Pensioners above the age of 65 pay 60% of the price per person.

# If a person cancels the venue more than a month in advance, they receive 85% of the
venue hire cost back and 90% of the price paid per person.

# If a person cancels the venue less than a month in advance, they receive 60% of the
venue hire cost back and 78% of the price paid per person.

Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.

2.1.1 Calculate the price per person, excluding VAT, for a Saturday. (2)

2.1.2 Mr and Mrs De Klerk decided to have their wedding on a Thursday instead
of on a Saturday, to save money.

(a) Determine the amount the family would have saved on the total cost
of the reception, including VAT. (10)

(b) Hence, calculate the refund that Mr and Mrs De Klerk would receive
if they cancelled their wedding more than a month in advance. (3)

5
 (c) Determine the percentage, rounded to the nearest ten, the family
would save if they were having the wedding on a Thursday.

The following formula can be used:

% savings = 𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔
× 𝟏𝟎𝟎 (3)
𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕

2.1.3 Provide a reason why the venue is more cost effective during the week than
over the weekends. (2)

2.2 Ennyani wedding venue is situated in Krugersdorp, which falls under the Mogale
City Municipality. Mogale City Municipality has two tariff structures that they use
to calculate the cost of water consumption. In Table 3 below the two tariffs are
given; one is a normal rate when there is a sufficient supply of water, and the other
is an increased rate during times where there is a water shortage.

Table 3: Water Tariff Structure for Mogale City

Normal rate Water shortage rate

Water consumption R/kl R/kl
(Including VAT) (Including VAT)
0 – 60 kl R18,12 R29,93
61 – 150 kl R29,86 R52,44

301 – 450 kl R45,52 R114,44
> 451 kl R56,12 R179,47
[Adapted from https://www.ekurhuleni.gov.za/for-me/tariffs/]

2.2.1 Ennyani wedding venue consumes an average of 971 kl of water per

month. The manager at the Ennyani wedding venue states that they pay
more than R150 000 when there are water shortages.

Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether his statement is correct. (6)

2.2.2 Why is a sliding scale used when the cost related to water usage is
calculated? (2)

2.2.3 Determine the probability, as a decimal fraction, that there is a rate lower
than R30 per kilolitre during normal water distribution. (3)

population difference. Explain why the percentages can be the same but the
population numbers are different. (4)

3.2 The following two tables show the results for Grade 12 learners for their June
Examination in Mathematical Literacy (Paper 1). Study the tables and answer the

QUESTION 4

4.1 Mr Tshabalala is a 32-year-old man that works for Box Fashion. He oversees the
packaging of the boxes that must be distributed to customers. He receives a monthly gross
income of R 32 542,80. He contributes 7,5% towards his pension fund. Mr Tshabalala is
married and has 4 children. He contributes towards a medical aid for himself and his

4.1.4 Mr Tshabalala’s mother is 65 years old and earns a taxable income of R10 321
per month. Mr Tshabalala claims that his mother is earning below the tax
threshold for 2024, thus she is not supposed to contribute towards personal
income tax.

Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether his statement is valid. (3)

4.1.5 Show how the fixed amount of R179 147 in tax bracket 5 was calculated. (3)

that of the female workers. Determine the difference between the interquartile
range of male workers and female workers and decide whether his statement is
valid. (4)

4.3 Mr Tshabalala bought his wife a new
Renault Kiger. This car is financed by
Standard Bank as he could not afford to
buy the car for cash. Standard Bank
allowed him to pay for the vehicle on a
hire purchase agreement with a deposit of
15,8%. The cash price of the Renault
Kiger is R319 999.

Use the information above and ANNEXURE D as well as ANNEXURE E to answer the

Use the information in Table 1 above and the growth chart shown in ANNEXURE B to
determine which descriptions correctly represent the twins' growth over six
months.

Write down the question numbers (3.1.1 to 3.1.5) followed by TRUE or FALSE. If
FALSE, correct the statement.

3.1.1 The baby girl lay in the 10th percentile when she was born. (2)

3.1.2 When the baby boy was 3 months old, only 10% of other baby boys
were heavier than he was. (2)

3.1.3 At the time the twins were 6 months old, they both lay close to the 50th
percentile. (2)

3.1.4 At 4 months, both babies were developing at the same rate as the average growth
rate. (2)

3.1.5 The baby boy's mass increased by a little more than 139% in the first six
months of his life. (2)

3.2 Due to the increase in the size of his family, Mr Masenya decided to purchase a bigger
geyser. The family purchased a 200-litre geyser, twice the size of their old geyser.
A table showing the dimensions of standard horizontal round geysers is shown below.

Table 2: Standard Horizontal Round Geysers

CAPACITY DIAMETER x LENGTH
50-litre 450 mm x 610 mm
100-litre 550 mm x 840 mm
150-litre 550 mm x 1 150 mm
200-litre 550 mm x 1 470 mm
250-litre 550 mm x 1 875 mm

Study the information given in Table 2 above and use it to answer the questions that follow.

3.2.1 Write down the dimensions of the old geyser. (2)

3.2.2 Calculate the circumference of the base of the new geyser.

You may use the following formula:

Circumference of a circle = π × diameter, where π = 3,142 (2)

3.2.3 Mr Masenya claims that because the new geyser has twice the volume of the old
geyser, the surface area of the new geyser will also be twice that of the old geyser.
Verify whether his claim is correct.

You may use the following formula:

Surface area of a closed geyser = (2 × π × radius2) + (2 × π × radius × length)
where π = 3,142 (8)

3.2.4 Mr Masenya wanted to be sure that the stated capacity of the geysers is correct, so
he performed the following calculations:

OLD 100 ℓ GEYSER

Volume = π × radius2 × length

= π × (550 mm)2 × 840 mm
= 798 278 69,33 mm3
= 79 827 869,33 cm3
≈ 79 828 ℓ
NOTE: 1 000 cm3 = 1 ℓitre

Identify TWO possible errors that were made in the calculation above. (4)

24
3.2.5 Calculate the capacity of the new 200 ℓ geyser. Round-off your answer to the
nearest litre.

You may use the formula:

Volume = π × radius2 × length
where: π = 3,142
NOTE: 1 000 cm3 = 1 ℓitre (4)

3.2.6 Should Mr Masenya be happy with the new geyser based on the capacity? Provide
a reason to support your answer. (2)
