UNIT 1: REVIEW OF BASIC SKILLS Learning objectives After completing this unit, you should be able to do the following: • Apply basic mathematical skills. • Understand rounding down, scientific notation, percentages, ratio, proportion and complete calculations.

Part 1: Rounding EXAMPLES Round the following numbers to the number of decimal places indicated in brackets: 1.1

3,14823 (2 decimal places) Answer: ≈ 3,15

Note: Look at the third decimal. A number less than 4 makes no difference to the second decimal. If the third decimal is 5 and higher, the second decimal should be rounded up to the next number. 1.2

Part 4: Percentages Percentages are expressed as a common fraction or as a decimal number, e.g. 25% = 4.1

100

= 0,25

Calculation of percentage

EXAMPLES 4.1.1 Calculate 15% of R1 200. Note: remember the word “of” means multiplication. 15

100

× R1 200 = R180,00

Sequence on calculator: 15 ÷ 100 x 1 200 = 4.1.2 Janet gets

26 40

for a Mathematical Literacy test. What is her percentage for the test?

26 × 100 = 65% 40

Sequence on calculator: 26 ÷ 40 x 100 = 4.2

Determining new values for given percentages

EXAMPLES 4.2.1

A packet of chips costs R3,20 without VAT (value-added tax). How much will you pay if VAT is added? (VAT is 14%) 14

100

× R3,20 = R0,448

R3,20 + R0,448 = R3,65 You will pay R3,65.

R3,20 × 114% = R3,65

Study Guide G12 ~ Mathematical Literacy

4.2.2

Unit

A vendor increases his prices by 6%. If the original price is R21,99, what will the price be after the increase? 6

100

× R21,99 = R1,32

R21,99 × 106% = R23,31

R1,32 + R21,99 = R23,31

The new price will be R23,31. 4.2.3

A shop has a sale with 25% off all jeans. What will you pay for a pair of jeans if the original price was R395,00? 25

100

× R395 = R98,75

100 – 25 = 75%

R395 − R98,75 = R296,25

75% x R395 = R296,25

The pair of jeans will now cost R296,25. 4.2.4

The petrol price decreases with 4,5%. How much will we pay now if we previously paid R12,30 per litre? 4,5

100

× R12,30 = R0,5535

100 – 4,5 = 95,5%

R12,30 – R0,5535 = R11,75

95,5% x R12,30 = R11,75

We will now pay R11,75. 4.3

Determining the original value when a percentage is given Important Remember that the original value must be determined – the previous amount, before it was increased or decreased. 4.3.1

A slab of chocolate costs R15,10 with VAT included. VAT is 14%. What is the price of the chocolate without VAT? P: price without VAT P x 114% = R15,10

15,10

114%

[114% = 100% + 14%]

R15,10 ÷ 1,14

P = R13,25 The original price was R13,25.

Study Guide G12 ~ Mathematical Literacy

4.3.2

Unit

A butcher increases his meat prices by 6%. Boerewors now costs R25,75/kg. What was the original price before the increase? P: original price P x 106% = R25,75 P = 25,75 ÷ 106% = R24,29 The original price was R24,29.

4.3.3

A shoe shop has a sale at 25% discount. If the selling price of a pair of sneakers is now R348, 25, what was the original price before the discount? (100% – 25% = 75%) P: original price P x 75% = R348,25 P = R348,25 ÷ 75% = R464,33 The original price of the sneakers was R464,33.

4.4

Percentage increase and percentage reduction The following formula is useful to calculate the increase and decrease in percentages. current value − previous value

4.4.1

Imperial → metric 1 mile → 1,609 km 1 ounce → 28,35 g 1 pound (16 ounce) → 453,59 g 1 US gallon (8 pints) → 3,785 ℓ 285 miles (km) 12 pounds 3 ounces (kg) 40,5 US gallons (ℓ)

Metric → imperial 1 km → 0,621 mile 1 g → 0,035 ounce 1 kg → 2,205 pounds 1 ℓ = 0,264 US gallons Use this conversion

Lesson 2: Time

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minutes = 60 seconds

1 day = 24 hours

1 week = 7 days

1 year = 52 weeks

1 year = 365 days

What is the time on the stopwatch?

Time conversion REMEMBER 2h30 ≠ 2,3 hours, but is 2 hours and 30 minutes, which means 2,5 hours. a) To convert from hours and minutes to hours: • Divide the minutes by 60. • Add the hours. • Round as requested. EXAMPLE Convert 3h17 to hours. • Minutes to hours → 17 ÷ 60 = 0,28333… • Add the hours to the answer → 3 + 0,28333… • Answer: 3,28 hours b)

To convert hours and minutes to minutes: • Multiply hours with 60. • Add the minutes. • Round as requested.

EXAMPLE Convert 3h17 to minutes. • Hours to minutes → 3 x 60 = 180 minute • Add the minutes to the answer = 17 + 180 = 197 • Answer: 197 minutes Calculations with time Use the DMS or º ‘ “ button on the calculator.

How many hours are there in 456 days? How many weeks are there in 4 years? How many seconds are there in 2 years?

Lesson 3: Temperature The following formulas are important to know when you are working with temperature. You should be able to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.

Activity 10 1.

℉ = (𝟏𝟏, 𝟖𝟖 × ℃) + 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑° ℃ = (℉ − 𝟑𝟑𝟑𝟑°) ÷ 𝟏𝟏, 𝟖𝟖

The following recipe is provided: Italian pudding 2 eggs 0,5 oz castor sugar 0,75 pints of milk 2 oz cake crumbs 0,5 pound pitted dates

0,5 pounds pitted raisins 2 oz mixed peel 0,2 teaspoons nutmeg 1 pound cooking apples

Method: • Make a custard by whisking the eggs and sugar together and adding it to the warm milk. • Add the cake crumbs. • Mix the dates, rasins, peel and nutmeg. Peel and remove the seeds from the apples. Cut the apples into thin slices. • Arrange the apple slices at the bottom of a pie dish. • Add the mixed fruit and cover with the custard. • Bake at 335 ºF for one hour in a preheated oven. • Serve hot or cold.

2.1. Measure length weight volume

Rewrite the whole recipe and make use of metric units.

Imperial → metric 1 mile → 1,609 km 1 ounce → 28,35 g 1 pound (16 ounces) → 453,59 g 1 US gallon (8 pints) → 3,785 ℓ

2.2.

Convert 335 ºF to ºC.

Metric → imperial 1 km → 0,621 miles 1 g → 0,035 ounces 1 kg → 2,205 pounds 1 ℓ = 0,264 US gallons

Lesson 4: Travel and timetables • • •

Travel tables, maps and timetables provide information to help people plan their trips. It provides useful information about the departure times, arrival times and routes of airplanes, buses or trains. A travel fee table provides useful information on the costs of routes and destinations.

On which day of the week does the train arrive in Kimberley? What is the duration of the whole trip? Give your answer in hours. At what time does the train leave Ladysmith? Calculate the total time that the train stops between Durban and Kimberley. Give your answer in minutes. Without adding the time that passes while the train stops, the actual travel time is 17,6 hours and the distance between Durban and Kimberley is 842 km. Calculate the average speed at which the train travels. Use the formula: Speed =

distance time

Sipho travels from Durban to Brandfort on the same train. He must get onto a bus that leaves the bus station at 11:00. It takes 5 minutes to walk from the train station to the bus terminal. Determine whether Sipho will be on time to catch the bus. Show all calculations.
