a) Initial cost = 500 dollars
Shipping cost
$\frac{20}{100}$ x 500 = 100
Customs duty
$\frac{10}{100}\times 100$ = 500
Transport
$\frac{5}{100}$ x 500 = 25
Total cost in U.S dollar
= 100 + 50 + 25 + 500
= 625
1 U.S dollar = sh 54. 60
675 U.S dollar = sh 54.60
675 U.S dollar?
675 x 54.60
= sh 36 855
b) $\frac{54.60\times 675\times 120}{100\times 1000}$

- A factory assembles computers and normally produces 600 in x days.
i) Write down an expression involving x for the number produced per day(Solved)
A factory assembles computers and normally produces 600 in x days.
i) Write down an expression involving x for the number produced per day
ii) The rate of production is increased so that 600 are now produced in one day less (x -1). Write down an expression involving x for the number produced
iii) If the difference between these daily rates of production is 50, form an equation in x and show that it reduces to x2 - x - 12 = 0
iv) Hence find the number produced per day
