Use the information above and ANNEXURE A to answer the following questions.
2.1.1 (a) Calculate the total amount spent by all tourists in 2012. (3)
(b) Explain whether it is more appropriate to round off the rand value of the total amount spent in billions to one decimal place, rather than rounding off the rand value of the total amount spent in billions to the nearest whole number. (3)
2.1.2 The average amount spent by international tourists in 2013 was exactly R6 580.
Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether this amount is CORRECT. (6)
2.1.3 Identify the item(s) on which international tourists spent the least money. (2)
2.1.4 Give ONE suitable example of a ‘tourism-related item’. (2)
2.1.5 The tourism industry’s direct contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) was R103,6 billion in 2013.
The tourism industry’s annual contribution to the GDP remained constant at an annual compound interest rate of 2,9% for the next three years.
Determine the total amount (rounded off to the nearest million) that the tourism industry contributed to the GDP in 2016. (6)
Use ANNEXURE B to answer the following questions.
2.2.1 (a) Calculate the total stopover time at all the railway stations between Johannesburg and East London. (5)
(b) Hence, determine the modal stopover time at the railway stations. (2)
2.2.3 Determine the average speed at which the train travelled from Johannesburg to East London.
You may use the following formula:
D = S x T where
D = distance (in km)
S = average speed (in km/h)
T = time in hours (h), excluding stopover times at railway stations (7)
2.2.2 Calculate the total cost of the return train trip for the family. (11)
