6(a) Pam bought 2 pens, 5 pencils and 3 markers for $119.00. One month later she bought 1
pen, 3 pencils and 2 markers for $ 72.00. In preparation for her final project she
purchased 3 pens, 1 pencil and 1 marker for $61.00. Calculate the unit cost of each item.
Assume the cost of each item was unchanged for each period.

(b) Jus Juice Ltd. manufactures three juice blends: mango, cherry and orange.
Each requires mix 1, mix 2 and mix 3 as given in the table below:

Mix 1 Mix 2 Mix 3


Mango 1 unit 2 units 2 units
Cherry 1 unit 2 units 3 units
Orange 3 units 1 unit 3 units
Table 1

The mango blend cost $64, the cherry blend cost $79, and the orange blend cost $87.
Using matrix algebra, calculate the unit cost of the three mixes for Jus Juice Ltd.
