1. You are given #67 and you are asked to divide between Peter, Musa and John such that Peter will have #10 more than Musa and Musa will have #18 more than John.

2. Musa donate 2% of his annual salary to community development in his locality and Sam donate 1% of his annual salary to the community. The total donation of both Musa's and Sam's is #24,000. If Musa makes #3000 more than Sam, how much is Musa annual salary?
Thanks for helping.

Number 1 answer... Peter will have 35naira, Musa will get 25naira while John gets 7naira.

1. Let Peter =P, Musa= M, John =J
P=M+10
M=J+18
Therefore(express P and M in terms of J),
P =J+18+10
P=J+28

And M=J+18…

P+M+J = #67
==(J+28)+(J+18)+j = #67
3J+#46 =#67
3J=#21
J=#7

J=#7,
M= #7+#18=#25
P= #7+#28=#35

John gets#7, Musa gets #25 and Peter gets #35

2. Musa’s donation =2% of his salary = 0.02M
Sam’s donation = 1% of his salary = 0.01S

Therefore, 0.02M + 0.01S = #24000
Also, M = #3000+S

Therefore,
0.02(#3000 + S) + 0.001S = #24000
#60 + 0.02S + 0.01S = #24000
0.03S = #23940
S= #798,000
M= #798,000+ #3000 =#801,000

Musa’s annual salary is #801,000

Nice work... Exactly the answers i got.

Thanks, I have understood it through your working, God bless you.
Pls look at this one for me: suppose you wish to rear domestic animal in your home and you intend to indentify an area which 24 yards fence, what are the dimension of the area that will allow maximum movement of the domestic animal within the surrounding.
Am thinking about 4 and 6.

YOU'RE WELCOME

The 24 yards fence reps the perimeter of the area.
For maximum movement, its preferable that the area should be a square.

The formula for the perimeter of a square is 4L..

Therefore,
4L = 24 yards
L = 6yards.

Therefore the area should be 6 yards by 6 yards.
*DO NOT CONFUSE AREA WITH PERIMETER.
