TABLE 2 in ANNEXURE B shows the number of people employed at Motor Holdings (MH) in August 2020 and 2019 - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 3 - 2023 - Paper 1

The total number of employees in August 2019 was 2,163, while in August 2020 it was 2,828. Therefore, the difference is:

$2,828 - 2,163 = 665$

To find the percentage of employees with disabilities in 2020:

Let the number of staff with disabilities be 34 (given).

Percentage calculation:

rac{34}{2,163} imes 100 = 1.572\\% This can be rounded off to 1.57%.

Let's first calculate the number of employees at the head office:

1.5% of 2,828 is:

$0.015 imes 2,828 = 42.42$ Rounding this off gives approximately 42 employees at the head office.

The number of employees in motor dealerships then is:

$2,828 - 42 = 2,786$

With 41 dealerships, the average number of employees per dealership is:

rac{2,786}{41} ext{ which is approximately } 68.5.

Given that the number of coloured females employed is 54, the probability is calculated as follows:

rac{54}{2,163} imes 100 = 2.497\% Thus, rounding this off to three decimal places gives 2.497%.
