4. To raise money for an orphanage, students of three schools A, B and C organized an exhibition in their
locality, where they sold paper-bags, scrap-books and pastel-sheets made by them using recycled paper,
at the rate of Rs 20, Rs 15 and Rs 5 per unit respectively. School A sold 25 paper-bags, 12 scrap-books and
34 pastel sheets. School B sold 22 paper-bags, 15 scrap-books and 28 pastel sheets while school C sold 26
paper-bags, 18 scrap-books and 36 pastel-sheets. Using matrices, find the total amount raised by each
school. By such exhibition, which values are inculcated in the students.
