7) The Principal of Alpha Academy wants to buy some new stationery for the teachers. He
expects that the cost of the stationery has increased since the last time he had to replenish
his supply. He remembers that he had paid:
$240 for 4 box of marker, 1 duster and 1 pack of chalk;
$260 for 3 box of marker, 2 dusters and 5 packs of chalk;
$140 for 1 box of marker, 2 dusters and 3 packs of chalk.
He does not know the exact value of each type of stationery.
a)

Write 3 equations, using appropriate variables, to model the situation above.

[3]

b)

Write an appropriate augmented matrix for this situation.

[1]

c)

Hence find the exact value for each type of stationery.
