Let the three apartments be A, B & C
The rent of A is $x
The rent of B is $y
The rent of C is $z
So x + y + z = 1600 .......(1)
Now
Maintenance of A is 20% of x = 0.20x
Maintenance of B is 20% of y = 0.20y
Maintenance of C is 25% of z = 0.25z
0.20x + 0.20y + 0.25z = 345
Multiplying by 100 we get
20x + 20y + 25 z = 34500
Dividing by 5 we get
4x + 4y + 5z = 6900 .......(2)
Monthly fee of A is 10% of x = 0.10x
Monthly fee of B is 20% of y = 0.20 y
Monthly Fee of C is 10% of z = 0.10z
Now
0.10x + 0.20y + 0.10 z= 1820 - 1600
0.10x + 0.20y + 0.10z = 220
Multiplying by 100 we get
10x + 20y + 10z = 22000
Dividing by 10
x + 2y + z = 2200 ....(3)
Making a Matrix of equation (1), (2) & (3)
is the required matrix
