Please see question below, at work typing this out, spent half an hour on it last night and could not figure it out :S;
A: X=0 y=3,333.3
Z=10x + 5y= 10(0) + 5(3333.3) = $16,666.50B: Solving 0.18x+0.03y=100, and 0.05x +0.02y =50
Gives x=238.1 and y=1904.8
Z=10(238.1) + 5(1,904.8) = $11,905C: Solving 0.05x + 0.02y= 50 and 0.02x + 0.05y=40
Gives x=809.5 and y=476.2
Z=10(809.5)=5(476.2)=$10476D: X=2,000 y=0
Z=10(2000) + 5 (0) = $20,000I get part A of this and that’s about it. Part B is where I’m completely lost how X=238.1 and Y=1904.8 is worked out?
Kaplan text book doesn’t really have a breakdown, just assumes you should know…

Posted in the ‘ask a tutor’ forum John. It’s put a downer on study, as I felt a bit stupid for not being able to work this out. My biggest fear with tackling ACCA 5 years after graduation is that my mathematical skills are not the best, understanding is fine, but getting stuck with what most people find easy is very frustrating.
Really appreciate the help on here. it looks like an extremely helpful platform for people studying. Will be around and try and get these exams done.
