Worked Solution & Example Answer:Letitia buys a new bakkie with a portion of her retirement funds - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 5 - 2022 - Paper 2
Step 1
Step 2
5.1.2 Calculate the value of D (the space between the sides of the bakkie and the side walls of the garage) if the bakkie is parked exactly in the middle of the garage.
Answer
To find D, we first calculate the total width of the garage and subtract the width of the bakkie that occupies it.
Total width of garage = 3,600 mm Width of bakkie = 1,860 mm
The space on either side when centered is:
D = rac{(3,600 - 1,860)}{2} = rac{1,740}{2} = 870 ext{ mm}
Step 3
5.1.3 State how many different choices there are for this bakkie.
Answer
The bakkie comes in four different colours (white, black, blue, green) and can have two different window tints (35% tint or 50% tint). To find the total number of choices, we multiply the number of colour options by the number of tint options.
Total choices = 4 imes 2 = 8 different choices.
