Question

ANNEXURE D shows a strip chart from Pretoria to Windhoek.

A couple with two adult children (both females), from Johannesburg, plan a holiday and decide to go to Windhoek. On their way to Windhoek they visit the Moremi Wildlife Reserve in Maun. When traveling to Maun they turn right at Lobatse and take the A1 route and then pass through Maun. On the next day they get accommodation at Moremi Wildlife Reserve and the next day proceed to Windhoek via Ghanzi.

Use the strip chart on ANNEXURE D to answer the following questions.

3.1.1 How many kilometres do they travel to Windhoek? (5)

3.1.2 Apart from route A1, which other routes do they travel on from Johannesburg? Also, give the names of the countries where these routes are found. (4)

3.1.3 At Moremi Wildlife Reserve there are two accommodation options:
Option 1: Self-catering chalets for 4 people at R 550 per chalet per night
Option 2: A bed and breakfast at R550 per person per night.

The couple stated that if they choose Option 1 and do not have breakfast at R95 per person, they will be able to save R270. Show, with the necessary calculations, whether their statement is true, or not. (4)

3.1.4 At Moremi Wildlife Reserve there are 5 self-catering units accommodating 4 people and 3 self-catering units accommodating 6 people at extra cost if there are only 4 people.

If all self-catering units are still available when they are making their booking, determine the probability of getting a self-catering unit at no extra cost. Give your answer to the nearest percentage. (4)

3.1.5 Mr and Mrs Smith, who are friends to the couple, are also on their way from Johannesburg to Windhoek. They take a different route and spend a night at Sun City. From Sun City they proceed to Tshane to visit some friends. After their visit, they travelled on the A2 route to Windhoek.

The two families are claiming that the difference between the distance travelled by the couple with the two adult children and the distance travelled by Mr and Mrs Smith, is 463 km. Verify, with the necessary calculations, whether the statement is valid. (5)
