Question

A price of a book is y shillings and that of a pencil is 15 Kenyan shillings juma bought for books in a pencil if the total price of the items he bought is more than 75 Kenyan shillings what is the cost of a single book

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of books bought as x and the number of pencils bought as y.

Based on the information given, we can form the following equations:

1. Total cost of books: x * y shillings
2. Total cost of pencils: y * 15 shillings
3. Total cost of all items: x * y + y * 15 shillings

Given that the total price of the items Juma bought is more than 75 Kenyan shillings, we can write the following inequality:

x * y + y * 15 > 75

Now, we don't have enough information to determine the values of x and y, so we can't calculate the cost of a single book.
