Two shopkeepers, Juma and Wanjiku bought some items from a wholesaler. Juma bought 18 loaves of bread, 40 packets of milk and 5 bars of soap while Wanjiku bought 15 loaves of bread, 30 packets of milk and 6 bars of soap. The prices of a loaf of bread, a packet of milk and a bar of soap were Ksh 45, Ksh 50 and Ksh 150 respectively.
(a) Represent: (i) the number of items bought by Juma and Wanjiku using a 2 x 3 matrix. (ii) the prices of the items bought using a 3 x 1 matrix. (b) Use the matrices in (a) above to determine the total expenditure incurred by each person and hence the difference in their expenditure. c) Juma and wanjiku also bought rice and sugar. Juma bought 36 kgs of rice and 23 kgs of sugar and paid Ksh 8160. Wanjiku bought 50 kg of rice and 32 kg of sugar and paid kshs 11340. Use the matrix method to determine the price of one kilogram of rice and one kilogram of sugar Form 1 Mathematics
Three partners Amina, Bosire and Karuri contributed a total of Ksh 4 800 000 in the ratio 4:5:7 to buy an 8 hectares piece of land. The partners set aside 1/4 of the land for social amenities and sub-divided the rest into 15 m by 25 m plots.
(a) Find: (i) the amount of money contributed by Karuri; (ii) the number of plots that were obtained. (b) The partners sold the plots at Ksh 50 000 each and spent 30% of the profit realised to pay for administrative costs. They shared the rest of the profit in the ratio of their contributions. (i) Calculate the net profit realised. (ii) Find the difference in the amount of the profit earned by Amina and Bosire. Form 2 Mathematics
Musa cycled from his home to a school 6km away in 20 minutes. He stopped at the school for 5 minutes before taking a motorbike to a town 40km away.
