P(x, y), P(0, 3) If x increases by 1 unit and y by 4 units, then ratio of x : y = 1 : 4
$\frac{x}{1}$ = $\frac{y}{4}$
y = 4x
Hence the sign of the graph is y + 3 = 4x

From the diagram, PQRSTW is a regular hexagon.

Hexagon is a six sided polygon.

Sum of interior angles of polygon = (2n - 4)90${}^{\circ }$ = [2 x 6 - 4] x 90 = 8 x 90 = 720${}^{\circ }$

each angle = $\frac{{720}^o}{6}={120}^o$ and TVS = $\frac{120}{2}={60}^o$

2 x s = 280o(Angle at centre = 2 x < at circum)

S = $\frac{{280}^o}{2}$

= 140

< O = 360 - 280 = 80o

60 + 80 + 140 + a = 360o

(< in a quad); 280 = a = 360

a = 360 - 280

a = 80o

Total cost of 1035 oranges at ₦145 each
= 1035 x 145
= 20025
Total selling price at ₦245 each
= (103)5 x 245
= 30325
Hence his gain = 30325 - 20025
= 10305

Total yield = ₦3,700
Total amount invested = ₦50,000
Let x be the amount invested at 6% interest and let y be the amount invested at 8% interest
then yield on x = $\frac{6}{100}$ x and yield on y = $\frac{8}{100}$y
Hence, $\frac{6}{100}$x + $\frac{8}{100}$y
= 3,700.........(i)
x + y = 50,000........(ii)
6x + 8y = 370,000 x 1
x + y = 50,000 x 6
6x + 8y = 370,000.........(iii)
6x + 6y = 3000,000........(iv)
Eqn (iii) - Eqn (ii)
2y = 70,000
y = $\frac{70,000}{2}$

Let the selling price(SP from P to Q be represented by x
i.e. SP = x
When SP = x at 10% profit
CP = $\frac{100}{100}$ + 10 of x = $\frac{100}{110}$ of x
when Q sells to R, SP = ₦209 at loss of 5%
Q's cost price = Q's selling price
CP = $\frac{100}{95}$ x 209

x = 220

Let x represent the price of an orange and
y represent the number of oranges that can be bought
xy = 240k, y = $\frac{240}{x}$.....(i)
If the price of an oranges is raised by $\frac{1}{2}$k per orange, number that can be bought for ?240 is reduced by 16
Hence, y - 16 = $\frac{240}{x+\frac{1}{2}}$

subt. for y in eqn (ii) $\frac{240}{x}$ - 16

Numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 300 include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e.t.c. To get the number of figures divisible by 4, We solve by method of A.P
Let x represent numbers divisible by 4, nth term = a + (n - 1)d
a = 4, d = 4
Last term = 4 + (n - 1)4
