had had brought all three instruments, and 5 didn’t have any at all. 11
students did not have a pen, 12 did not have a pencil and 18 students didn’t
not have a ruler. One student only had a pen. 2 students only had a pencil
and no student had only a ruler.

many students had at least a pencil and a ruler.
b) The student who had less than two instruments were put in detention.

The taxable income is calculated by deducting allowances from the gross income: Housing (14,000*12), Marriage (96,400), Medical (50,700), Transport (10,000*12), Insurance (68,900), and Family allowances (3*5400 + 1*4200): Taxable income = 964,000 - {168,000 + 96,400 + 50,700 + 120,000 + 68,900 + 21420} = 538,580 shs .

After plotting the given points, reflecting the figure through y=x swaps x and y coordinates (A’(1,-4), B’(-2,-6), C’(4,-2)). Subsequent translation by (2,2) shifts each reflected point by adding the vector, resulting in A’’(3,-2), B’’(0,-4), C’’(6,0).

Students with less than two instruments include those with none (5 students), only a pen (1 student), and only a pencil (2 students). Therefore, 5 + 1 + 2 = 8 students were put in detention .

5 men own a house but do not own a car, derived from the Venn diagram showing 33 own cars (24 of which also own houses), thus only 5 own exclusively houses .

The translation vector (2,2) shifts the position of a figure uniformly—moving each coordinate by adding 2 to x and y respectively. Geometrically, it represents a uniform shift in two-dimensional space post-reflection .

The Venn diagram shows 40 men, with 38 owning either a car, a house, or both. 33 own a car, 24 of those also own a house, indicating 33-24 = 9 own only cars. Since 33 own cars, 38-33 = 5 own only houses, and 40-38 = 2 neither own a house nor a car .

From the Venn diagram analysis: Let x be the number of students who have both a pencil and a ruler. Given, 40 students, 12 have all three, and 5 have none. Therefore, x = 40 - 5 - (students with specific missing items that don’t overlap with both). Calculating from the missing components, x is determined to be 18 .

Elon Musk obtained 45% from selling assets, which is 0.45 * 44 billion = 19.8 billion. The loan covered 55%, which is 0.55 * 44 billion = 24.2 billion dollars .

Mrs. Lakgamaz spent (2*3500 + 3*2000 + 4*875) = 21500 shs, while Mrs. Frank spent (3*3500 + 2*2000 + 5*875) = 23975 shs at the earlier price level.

Using progressive tax rates from the document, the tax is calculated by summing the taxes for each bracket: 80,000*0.075 + 80,000*0.125 + 80,000*0.2 + 80,000*0.3 + 80,000*0.365 + 98,580*0.45 = 191,350.5 shs. Therefore, as a percentage of annual income: (191,350.5 / 964,000) * 100 = 19.85%.
