(metres) of the cloth. The cost of a roll of 50m is shs 50, 000. The cost of a roll of 80m is shs
96,800.
(c) Form an equation relating the cost, C and length, L. (08marks)
Part of C = k1
And another part of c = k2L2
Adding the two parts
C = k1 + k2L2
Substituting for L = 50m and C = 50,000
50,000 = k1 + k2(50)2
50,000 = k1 + 2500k2 ………………. (i)
Substituting for L = 80m and C = 96800
96,800 = k1 + k2(80)2
96,800 = k1 + 6400k2 ………………. (ii)
Eqn. (ii) – eqn (i)
46,800 = 3900k2
46800
𝑘2 = = 12

Substituting k2 into eqn. (i)
50,000 = k1 + 2500 x 12
k1 = 50,000 – 30,000 = 20, 000
Hence required equation
C = 20,000 + 12L2

(d) Calculate the;

(i) Cost of a roll of length 20m
From C = 20,000 + 12L2
C = 20000 + 12 x 202 = 20,000 + 4800 = 24, 800
(ii) Length of a roll which costs shs. 34,700 (04marks)
From C = 20,000 + 12L2
34,700 = 20,000 + 12L2

L2 = 1225
L = √1225 = 35m
