A car dealer marketers two types of of cars viz volkswagen and peugeot. He has 20, 10 and 5 units of three types of volkswagen values at #300,000, #450,000, #600,000 each respectively and 3, 5, and 10 units of three types of Peugeot cars values at #540,000, #600,000 and #720,000each respectively. Present this data in Matrix form in such a way as to be able to calculate his stock in money in the Form of S = n*P where s is the Matrix of the total values of each brand of cars, n is the Matrix of number , p is the Matrix of unit Price. Find S for the above data and total values of his stock

I have split your post from the other student's thread. In future, kindly please post your own questions as new threads, rather than as replies to other students' questions.

Present this data in Matrix form in such a way as to be able to calculate his stock, in monetary terms, in the form of S = n*P, where S is the matrix of the total values of each brand of car, n is the matrix of number, and P is the matrix of unit price. Find S for the above data and total values of his stock.

I have edited the test of your post, above, to show what I think was meant. Is this exercise perhaps being translated from another language? Have I misunderstood any of it?

I'm not sure what "n is the matrix of number" means. Perhaps this stands for "the matrix containing the numbers of each model of each make"...? I believe "P is the matrix of unit price" means "the matrix containing the per-unit price of each model of each make". I believe "S is the matrix of the total values of each brand of car" means "the matrix containing two values, one for the list-price totals of the models of each make of vehicle". Do these interpretations sound right?

When you reply, please include a clear listing of your steps and reasoning so far, starting with your matrix for "n". Thank you!
