QUESTION 1

1.1
Audrey started a stokvel on 1 February 2015 to save for the December holidays. She invited 21 friends to join the stokvel. The aim was to continue with the stokvel after 2015.

Guidelines for this stokvel:

  • A bank account should be opened and all monies collected should be deposited on the 7 of every month.
  • The initial fee to join the stokvel is R250 per member. This initial fee is non-refundable and will be used to continue the stok vel in the future.
  • The monthly contribution of each member is R400 and is payable on the 1st day of every month.
  • Members who pay after the 7th of a month have to pay a fine of 4,75% of the monthly contribution, in addition to the monthly contribution.
  • On 20 December 2015 each member will be paid an equal amount of the savings in the account, excluding the initial fees to join, which will be kept in the stokvel account.

During the first meeting all the members paid their initial fees and their first monthly contributions.

1.1.1 Determine the total amount deposited in the bank account after the first meeting. (3)

Circumference of a circle = π x diameter using π = 3,142 (6)

2.1.3 One of the doorway openings in Justin's house is 750 mm wide. Determine, showing ALL calculations, how wide (in mm) the available gap on both sides of the wheelchair is if the wheelchair passes through the doorway opening exactly in the middle.

2.2
The doorway of a museum is shown in the photograph and diagram below. It has two identical doors that can open to allow for the easy flow of people.

The doors have glass-panel inserts, in the shape of rectangles and quarter circles, embedded in a wooden frame, as shown in the photograph and diagram below.

QUESTION 3

3.1
Gonzales lives in Mission Valley and travels by bus to his workplace at the Mission Valley Police Department.

ANNEXURE B shows a route map for the Mission Valley Transfer Centre bus.

The bus route is as follows:

  • Turns into Montana Street and then turns into Turner Street (makes a loop).
  • Continues back along George Dieter Street.
  • Turns into Socorro Street and then turns into Zaragoza Street (makes a loop).
  • Ends at the Mission Valley Transfer Centre in George Dieter Street

3.1.5 Gonzales visited the Department of Human Services. He left the building at 11:52 and arrived at Bus Stop 5 exactly 13 minutes later. Determine how long he had to wait for the next bus to travel directly to Bus Stop 2. (3)

3.1.6 Calculate the time a bus takes to complete the Socorro-Zaragoza loop. (2)

3.2 Use ANNEXURE C to answer the following question.

A bus travelling at an average speed of 43 km/h departs from Bus Stop 3 at 08:15 and arrives at Bus Stop 5 at 08:23.

Calculate the distance, in km, between these two bus stops.

You may use the following formula:
Average speed = distance/time(4)
