Question 1: Mr Kostas Souvlaki, a Greek butcher, has asked for your help. He is great with lamb chops but bad with numbers. He has provided you with the following information. Product Lamb chops Fillet steak Spare ribs Mincemeat 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.1.3 1.1.4 1.1.5 Cost price (per kg) Selling price (per kg) R28 R76 R43 ? R35 ? R50,74 R60 (2) (3) (3) (3)

What is the profit on a kilogram of spare ribs? By what percentage are lamb chops marked up? If fillet steak is marked up by 15 %, determine the selling price. If mincemeat is marked up by 20 %, determine the cost price. A customer buys 1 kg of lamb chops, 0,8 kg of mincemeat and 0,5 kg of spare ribs. How much will he pay Mr Souvlaki? How much profit will Mr Souvlaki make on the order in 1.1.5?

Mr Souvlaki has a customer who has moved to South Africa from the USA. He is used to measuring weight in pounds and ounces instead of kilograms and grams. Help Mr Souvlaki to serve his customer. You will need the following conversions: 1 kg = 1 000 g 2,2 pounds = 1 kg 1 pound = 16 ounces How many kilograms in one pound? How many ounces in two kilograms? Using the table above, how much will it cost Mr Souvlakis customer to buy three pounds of mincemeat? (2) (3)

Question 3: Crabapple Cola, a new South African softdrink company, has hired you to help design their new tin.

12 cm

The height is to be 12 cm and the radius is to be a third of the height. Volume = r2h Surface area = 2r2 + 2rh 1 cm3 = 1 ml 1 000 ml = 1 litre Show that the radius of the tin is 4 cm. Determine the volume of the tin in litres. Round off your final answer to 1 decimal place. How much liquid would be in a tin that is filled to a height of 6 cm? Determine the surface area of the tin in cm2. Tin costs 1 cent per cm2 and the cola costs 30 c per 50 ml. What would a tin of cola cost to make? (1)
