Paper B Solution

The document discusses exchange rates for various currencies in Singapore dollars. It provides a system of equations relating the exchange rates x, y, z for the British pound, euro, and Swiss franc. It solves the system of equations to find the exchange rates are x = 2.15, y = 1.78, z = 1.32. It then uses these rates to solve additional problems involving exchange rates.

Let x, y, z be the exchange rate quoted for Sterling Pound, Euro Dollar and Swiss Franc, respectively (i.e. 1
Sterling Pound = x Singapore Dollars, 1 Euro Dollar = y Singapore Dollars and 1 Swiss Franc = z
Singapore Dollars).
36 77 42 269.9 x y z + + =

55 18 63 233.45 x y z + + =

40 31 26 175.5 x y z + + =

Using the GC, x = 2.15, y = 1.78, z = 1.32
59 24 313 kx y z + + =
313 59(1.78) 24(1.32)
