CSEC Mathematics · January 2013 · Paper 2 · Question 11(d)(ii)

A superstore sells 3 models of cell phones: Model A costs 40 each, Model B costs 55 each, and Model C costs $120 each. The weekly sales for 2 weeks in June were: Week 1 (2 Model A, 5 Model B, 3 Model C) and Week 2 (no Model A, 6 Model B, 10 Model C).

Write down a matrix of size 1 x 3 which represents the cost of the different models of cell phones.
