Time allocation per topic serves as a guideline only and it can be adjusted to your own pace.

Bear in mind that you must first complete the relevant lessons before you will be allowed to take a test or the relevant examination.

You need to spend 4,5 hours per week on Mathematical Literacy. Take note that this time allocation per week excludes all activities, assessments and examinations; it gives an indication only of the time that must be spent on theoretical aspects. If you tend to work more slowly, the necessary adjustments must be made to ensure that you still master all the work in time.

UNIT 1: REVIEW OF BASIC SKILLS Learning objectives At the end of the unit, you must be able to: • apply basic mathematical skills • understand rounding, scientific notation, percentages, ratios and proportion, and do calculations

Part 1: Rounding When we use rounding, we need to be aware of the context of the problem. Context is the circumstances in which something occurs. This will determine whether we round up or round down as well as to how many decimal places we need to round up or down.

Important When we round numbers, we cannot simply say the original number is equal to the rounded number. For this reason, we don’t use the =, but the ≈.

≈ means almost equal to OR more or less the same (rounded OR estimated)

EXAMPLES

Round the following numbers to the number of decimal places indicated in brackets: 1.1

8,25632 (2 decimal places) Solution: ≈ 8,26

Note: Look at the third decimal. A number less than 4 makes no difference to the second decimal. If the third decimal is 5 or higher, the second decimal should then be greater, therefore the 5 changed to a 6.

Part 2: Rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1 000 Use place values to help you when rounding numbers. For example, if you must round numbers to the nearest 10, you must look at the Units column.

Thousands Th

Hundreds H

Tens T

Units U

Rounding to the nearest 10 Numbers smaller than 5 in the Units column are rounded to the previous ten.

Numbers larger than 5 in the Units column are rounded to the next ten.

Rounding to the nearest 100 Numbers smaller than 5 in the Tens column are rounded to the previous 100.

Numbers larger than 5 in the Tens column are rounded to the next 100.

Rounding to the nearest 1 000 Numbers smaller than 5 in the Hundreds column are rounded to the previous 1 000.

Numbers larger than 5 in the Hundreds column are rounded to the next 1 000.

Part 3: Scientific notation Important One million: 1 000 000 (6 zeros) One billion: 1 000 000 000 (9 zeros) One trillion: 1 000 000 000 000 (12 zeros) We use scientific notation to write very large or very small numbers in a way that makes it easy to read. The number is written using a number between 1 and 10, which is then multiplied by a power of 10.

For large numbers, put a decimal comma after the first digit so the number is between 1 and 10. Count the number of places from the decimal comma to the end of the number – this will tell you what power of 10 to use. Remove any zeros and write the number multiplied by 10 to the power of 𝑥𝑥 (𝑥𝑥 being the number of places from the decimal comma to the end of the number).

For very small numbers, count the number of places from the decimal comma until you have a number between 1 and 10. Remove any zeros in front of the decimal comma and write the number multiplied by 10 to the power of negative 𝑥𝑥. © Optimi

Part 4: Percentages A percentage is a way of expressing the parts of a whole (the numerator) as a value out of 100. It is always written with the % symbol directly after the number. A percentage can also be written as a fraction. The denominator will always be 100. The term ‘per cent’ derives from the Latin word per centum, which means ‘per hundred’ or ‘for every hundred’.

Percentages can be expressed as a common fraction or as a decimal number, 83

e.g. 83% = 100 OR = 0,83.

4.1 Calculation of percentage To calculate a percentage of an amount, write the per cent as a fraction and multiply by the amount. per cent × amount 100 EXAMPLES 4.1.1

4.2 Determining new values for given percentages Sometimes we need to calculate the new price of an item or product after it has been increased by a certain percentage, e.g. VAT (Value added tax) which is levied on the original price.

EXAMPLES 4.2.1

A packet of biscuits costs R15,30 without VAT. How much will you pay after VAT is added?

(In South Africa, the VAT rate is currently 15%) 15

100

× R16,00 = R2,40

OR

R16,00 × 115% = R18,40

R16,00 + R2,40 = R18,40

You will pay R18,40 after VAT is added.

4.2.2

A vendor increases his prices by 8%.

If the original price is R45,99, what will the price be after the increase?

8

100

× R45,99 = R3,68

OR

R45,99 × 108% = R49,67

R45,99 + R3,68 = R49,67 The new price is R49,67.

4.2.3

A shoe shop has a sale with 25% off all shoes.

What will you pay for a pair of shoes that was originally priced at R645,00?

25

100

× R645,00 = R163,50

OR

R645,00 – R163,50 = R490,50

100% – 25% = 75% 75% × R645,00 = R490,50

You will now pay R490,50 for the pair of shoes. © Optimi

The petrol price decreases with 2,5%.

How much will motorists now pay for a litre of petrol if the price was R14,40/ℓ?

2,5

100

OR

× R14,40 = R0,36

100% – 2,5% = 97,5%

R14,40 – R0,36 = R14,04 Motorists will now pay R14,04/ℓ.

97,5% × R14,40 = R14,04

4.3 Determining the initial value when new values and percentages are given Sometimes we need to calculate the original price of an item or product before it has been decreased by a certain percentage, e.g. discount on products during a sale.

Important You must determine the original value – the previous value, before it was increased or decreased.

EXAMPLES 4.3.1

Dishwashing liquid costs R23,10, VAT included. VAT is 15%.

What was the dishwashing liquid’s price before VAT was added?

P: price without VAT P × 115% = R23,10

P=

23,10

115%

(115% = 100% + 15%) OR

R23,10 ÷ 1,15

P = R20,09 The dishwashing liquid’s original price was R20,09.

4.3.2

A butchery increases their prices by 9%, which means that biltong now costs R195,10/kg. What was the original price before the increase?

P: original price P × 109% = R195,10 P = 195,10 ÷ 109% = R178,99 The biltong’s original price was R178,99.

A computer shop has a sale with all items at 25% discount. If a printer’s selling price is currently at R1 538,40, what was the original price before the discount?

P: original price (100% – 25% = 75%) P × 75% = R1 538,40 P = R1 538,40 ÷ 75% = R2 051,20 The printer’s original price was R2 051,20.

4.4 Percentage increase and decrease We can use the following formula to determine percentage increase or decrease:

Percentage increase/decrease =

current value − previous value previous value

× 100

EXAMPLES 4.4.1

4.4.2

In 2019, a school had 1 538 learners and in 2020, there were 1 645 learners.

In 2018, a glass factory produced 796 faulty glasses and in 2019, only 675.

By what percentage did the faulty glasses decrease?

Percentage decrease =

𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜𝐜 𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯 − 𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩𝐩 𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯𝐯

Percentage decrease =

Part 5: Ratios A ratio is the comparison of values that can be measured in the same unit. You need to ensure that the units are the same because values with different units cannot be expressed as a ratio.

•

2

Notation: 2 to 5 OR 2 : 5 OR 5 (We read it as two to five)

•

Always write ratios in its simplest form, e.g. 10 : 25 → 2 : 5 (divide each number by 5)

•

Increase R12,50 in the ratio 3 : 5 5

•

3

× R12,50 = R20,83

(numerator highest value)

× R12,50 = R7,50

(numerator lowest value)

Decrease R12,50 in the ratio 3 : 5 3 5

Ratios mostly consist of two terms, but they can also have more than two terms.

The order of the terms in a ratio is important. A ratio of 1 : 6 is NOT the same as a ratio of 6 : 1.

DISTRIBUTION OF RATIOS a)

R8 000 is divided between Anne, William and Susan in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5.

How much will each receive? Determine the total by adding up 2 + 3 + 5 = 10.

Anne: 10 × R8 000 = R1 600 3

William: 10 × R8 000 = R2 400 5

b)

Susan: 10 × R8 000 = R4 000

Part 6: Rate Rate is the relationship between two values of different units. Unlike ratios where we work with the same unit, rate works with different units. Think of the exchange rate, in which the values of different currencies are compared with one another, for example, the value of the rand against that of the dollar. More examples include km/h; R/kg; m/s and kg/m2.

EXAMPLES 6.1 The exchange rate is R18,45 for one euro (€).

If you have €1 500, how many rands do you have? €1 500 × R18,45 = R27 675

6.2 If you have R100 000, how many euros do you have?

R100 000 ÷ R18,45 = €5 420,05 6.3 A water tank with a capacity of 100 ℓ leaks at a rate of 1,4 ℓ/min.

How long will it take before there is 64 ℓ water left in the tank?

Give your answer in minutes and seconds.

100 – 64 = 36 ℓ 36 ℓ ÷ 1,4 = 25,71 minutes 25 minutes and (0,71 × 60) 25 minutes 42 seconds © Optimi

Part 7: Proportion Proportion means that two ratios are of equal value, e.g. 1 : 2 = 2 : 4.

Direct proportion As one quantity increases, another quantity increases at the same rate.

The relationship between the two quantities remains constant. Direct proportion is represented by a straight line on a graph which increases with the same slope (gradient).

Indirect/inverse proportion As one quantity increases, another quantity decreases.

We can draw a graph to show indirect or inverse proportion. A curve on this graph will show the increase in one quantity and the decrease in another quantity.

UNIT 2: PATTERNS, RELATIONSHIPS AND REPRESENTATIONS Learning objectives At the end of the unit, you must be able to: • analyse graphs that tell a story • understand, draw and analyse: o Fixed relationships o Linear relationships o Indirect/inverse proportions o Step graphs o Constant relationships o Combination graphs

Lesson 1: Graphs that tell a story Graphs found in financial magazines or in the business supplement of newspapers tell a story. In Mathematical Literacy, each problem or question also starts with a story. You must analyse and solve these stories. It is easier to understand a picture or representation than a list of numbers. A graph is a mathematical representation of the relationship between two values, such as distance and time. The advantage of a graph is that you can see the full picture or problem at a glance.

In this lesson, we will look at the messages conveyed by graphs.

How much time did Ester spend in the shops altogether?

Shop 1: 5 minutes Shop 2: 15 minutes Shop 3: 5 minutes Total time: 25 minutes

4.

Calculate the speed at which Ester walked home.

Speed = distance ÷ time Speed = 600 metres ÷ 10 minutes = 60 m/min

Lesson 2: Patterns with constant relationships VARIABLES Variables are values that can change. The independent variable is the value that is shown on the 𝑥𝑥-axis. It is independent from the dependent variable and is not affected by other variables. For example, time is always an independent variable. It changes as time passes, without it being affected by something else or being dependent on something.

The dependent variable is the value that is shown on the 𝑦𝑦-axis. It is determined by the independent variable.

TYPES OF VARIABLES Discrete values consist of whole numbers, for example, the number of people standing in a queue, the number of apples in a bag, days of the week. These are values that are not used as fractions in context. Discrete values are indicated by points (dots) which can be connected by dotted lines.

Continuous values consist of fractions (common or decimal fractions), for example, length, weight, age. Continuous values are indicated by solid lines because the values between the points are also included.
