$\bold{\underline{ Given \: Rules}}$

<u>The </u><u>sum</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>number </u><u>in </u><u>each </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>four </u><u>rows </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>same </u>
<u>The </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>numbers </u><u>in </u><u>each </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>three </u><u>columns </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>same</u>

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin}}$

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>Second</u><u> </u><u>rule </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 75+b+83=76+80+d=a+81+85+78+c+e }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + c + e ...(1)}$

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>first </u><u>rule </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

$\sf{ 75+76+a+78 = b+80+81+c = 83+86+d+e}$

$\sf{ 229 + a = 161 + b + c = 168 + d + e ...(2)}$

<u>From </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>got </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 158 + b = 166 + a, 156 + d = 166 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 166 - 158 + a, d = 166 - 156 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 8 + a, d = 10 + a ...(3)}$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{229+a = 161+8+a+c = 168+10+a+e}$

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c = 178+a+e}$

<u>We</u><u> </u><u>can </u><u>write </u><u>it </u><u>as </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c \:or\:229+a = 178+a+e}$

$\sf{ c = 299-169+a-a\:or\:e = 229-178+a-a}$

$\sf{ c = 60 \: and \: e = 51 }$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>c </u><u>and </u><u>e </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + 60 + 51 }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 189}$

<u>Now</u><u>, </u>

$\sf{ For \: b, 158 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ b = 189 - 158 }$

$\sf{ b = 31}$

$\sf{ For \: d , 156 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ d = 189 - 156 }$

$\sf{ d = 33}$

$\sf{ For \: a, 166 + a = 189 }$

$\sf{ a = 189 - 166 }$

$\sf{ a = 23 }$

Hence, The value of a, b, c, d and e is 23, 31 ,60 ,33 and 51 .

(i) Challenge: Thembi received 8% discount on an item which cost

Paul [167]

Answer:

$x = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cost\ Price = 6 + x$

$Discount =8\%$

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$

Required

Find x

First, we calculate the amount paid in terms of the cost price.

This is calculated using:

$Amount\ Paid = Cost\ Price * (100\% - Discount)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * (100\% - 8\%)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 92\%$

Express as decimal

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 0.92$

Open bracket

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$

So, we have:

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$ and

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$ ---- given

Equate both

$6 - x = 5.52 + 0.92x$

Collect like terms

$- x -0.92x= 5.52-6$

$-1.92x= -0.48$

$1.92x= 0.48$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{0.48}{1.92}$

$x = 0.25$
