To find out how much Wanjiru spent, we need to have the price of each cup and each spoon. Do you have that information?
To find out how much Wanjiru spent, we need to determine the cost of each item individually and then add them up. Let's assume the cost of each cup is represented by 'c' and the cost of each spoon is represented by 's'.
From the given information, we know that Akinyi bought three cups and four spoons for a total of 324 shillings. Let's write this as an equation:
3c + 4s = 324 ------------- (Equation 1)
Now, we are given that Wanjiru bought five cups and some spoons, but we don't know the total cost yet. Let's denote the cost of the additional spoons by 'additional_spoons'. Therefore, the equation for Wanjiru's purchase can be represented as:
5c + additional_spoons = ?
Since the cost of each cup and spoon remains the same, we can equate the two equations:
3c + 4s = 5c + additional_spoons
To find the value of 'additional_spoons', we need to simplify the equation:
subtracting 3c from both sides:
4s = 2c + additional_spoons
subtracting 2c from both sides:
4s - 2c = additional_spoons
Now, we need to find the values of 'c' and 's' in order to solve the equation. Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to determine their exact values. If you have any additional information or assumptions about the cost of the cups and spoons, please provide them so we can solve the equation and find Wanjiru's total expenditure.
