QUESTION 1
NTT Group advertised their Toyota Yaris Hybrid Concept 2014 model as follows:
[Source: fotosearch.com]
CASH PRICE R259 899 (14% VAT exclusive)

3,5% discount before December (after VAT)
OR
NO DEPOSIT AND LOW MONTHLY INSTALMENTS
8,5% interest rate
Monthly installment - R5 860,05
Number of installments – 59 months
*Residual – R85 766,67
Total repayment – R351 684,96
Non- cash option also included a monthly service fee of R98,95 × 60 months.
*The residual value is the amount you can buy the car for at the end of the
lease, if you decide you want to purchase the car.
1.1 Mr. Govender was attracted to the CASH option and he quickly made his
own calculations including VAT and the discount.
His calculations come to: R258 914,89.

(5)
calculations).

km) from the Phalaborwa Gate to the Letaba Restcamp if the
Abrahams use the tarred road. (round off your answer to the nearest (3)
km)
1.2.2 In which general direction will the Abrahams travel from Phalaborwa
to Letaba Rest camp?
(2)
1.2.3 The Abrahams start their journey from the Phaloborwa Gate at exactly
06:55 and hope to have breakfast at the Letaba Rest camp at 07:25.
By use of accurate calculations determine the average speed they
have to travel at, in order for them to have breakfast on time.
Use formula : Distance = speed × time (3)
