Write down the total loss, in rand, caused by fire during 2011 - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 5 - 2018 - Paper 1

To calculate the mean total loss:

1. Find the total losses from 2010 to 2015:

   • 2010: R1 323 085 600
   • 2011: R2 085 600 000
   • 2012: R2 158 847 000
   • 2013: R3 694 913 000
   • 2014: R1 847 732 000
   • 2015: R2 732 000 000

2. Add these values:

   $ext{Total} = 1 323 085 600 + 2 085 600 000 + 2 158 847 000 + 3 694 913 000 + 1 847 732 000 + 2 732 000 000 = 13 842 177 600$

3. Divide by the number of years (6):

   ext{Mean} = rac{13 842 177 600}{6} = R2 307 029 600

The maximum number of fires from 2010 to 2015 was 46,100.

To find A for the year 2013:

1. Identify the fire loss for 2013: R3 694 913 000.

2. The GNI for 2013 is R3 694 913 000.

3. Calculate the percentage as follows:

   A = rac{3 694 913 000}{3 694 913 000} imes 100 = 100\\%

Thus, the value of A is 100.00%.
