for 3 notebooks and 3 pencils: 3×60+3×36=288 money left: 360−288=72 there are 2 ways to spend this money: way 1: to buy 2 additional pencils for 2×36=#72 way 2: to buy 1 additional notebook for #60. way 2 gives ihm a change of #12.

let the notebooks he gets=x and the pencils he gets=y the linear programs are : x≥3 , y≥3 60x+36y≤360 ⇒ 5x+3y≤30 if x=3 ⇒ 15+3y≤30 he gets y=5 (no change) if x=4 ⇒ 20+3y≤30 he only gets y=3 the change=#360−(4×#60+3×#36)=#12 if x=5 ⇒ 25+3y≤30 ⇒ y<3

a=No of notebooks=3 b=No of pencils=3 x=cost of each notebooks=60 y=cost of each pencil=36 z=money of students=360 ax+by=360 3!x+3!y=360 3×2×1x+3×2×1y=360 3x+3y 3x+2y 3x+y 2x+3y 2x+2y 2x+y x+3y x+2y x+y could be 9 ways,but: 360−(2x+3y)=132, not Rta: 8 ways
