parents need to know the school fees they are to pay for both of them at the beginning.

ITEM THREE
On their Prom party, five students plan to buy their class teacher a

the class teacher but later they realized that If they do it as a group
would be cheaper. So they mobilized themselves and each person
contributed as follows;
Student A contributed one hundred thirty-three thousand two
hundred fifty shillings.
B contributed one and ahalf of the amount of A.
C contributed 20% more than that of A.
D contributed a fraction which is 15 less that of B of the amount of A
contributed.
E She contributed the balance required to make shs 800,000/=
which was the cost of the gift. On the day of Prom, the money was
given to student E to pick the gift from the nearby shop. From
school, she used a boda-boda moving at 10kmh-1, they moved for
30 minutes due east and then 15 minutes due north to reach the
shop.
Tasks:
a). Help to direct another student to locate the shop from school in
coordinate form.
b). What amount did each student contributed and who of the five
contributed more money.
d). In which other way could they contribute the money more fairly and how

b) The S1 class was divided in to five groups and each group was to construct a triangle ABC as
directed by the teacher.
Angle ABC was given as 75 and angle ACB was given as 120. The lines AB , AC, and BC ARE
7cm , 6cm and 5cm
the main requirements for a given group to carry out the activity was a wel equipped
mathematical set and a long ruler.
As a S1 mathematician who was taught by Tr .Ashraf help the groups to come up with the
triangle ABC
ITEM FIVE
