Worked Solution & Example Answer:Franco is training to become a pilot - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 3 - 2019 - Paper 2
Step 1
Calculate, in rand per minute, the rate for solo flying.
Answer
To find the rate for solo flying in rand per minute, we first need to convert the total cost of solo flying into minutes:
-
Total Cost for Solo Flying: R31,050 for 18 hours.
-
Convert hours to minutes:
18 ext{ hours} = 18 imes 60 = 1080 ext{ minutes}
-
Rate per minute:
ext{Rate} = rac{R31,050}{1080 ext{ min}} = R28.75 ext{ per minute}
Thus, the rate for solo flying is R28.75 per minute.
Step 2
Calculate the total approximate cost to get a private pilot's licence.
Answer
To find the total cost for obtaining a private pilot's licence, we will sum all the costs listed:
-
Calculate individual components:
-
Flying with an instructor:
28 ext{ hours} imes R2,050/ ext{hour} = R57,400
-
Solo flying: R31,050
-
Theory lessons:
5 ext{ lessons} imes R1,242 = R6,210
-
Ground aviation: R700
-
Flying-licking notes: R6,544
-
Examinations:
7 ext{ exams} imes R190/ ext{exam} = R1,330
-
-
Total cost calculation:
ext{Total} = R57,400 + R31,050 + R6,210 + R700 + R6,544 + R1,330 = R103,234
Therefore, the total approximate cost to get a private pilot's licence is R103,234.
