At the end of the year, a gross profit of Ksh.720000 was realized. They then agreed to re-invest 30% of the profit accrued back into the business and use 20% of the profit for running the business operations. The remainder was to be shared among the business partners in the ratio of their contribution.
1. Calculate the amount;
  1. Re-invested into the business (2mks)
    0.3 x 720, 000 = 216 000
  2. Used for business operations (1mk)
    0.2 x 720,000 = 144,000
2. Calculate the amount of profit each partner got (4mks)
  60,000 x 1 : 90,000 x 1 : 100,000 x 0.5
  60 : 90 : 50
  6 : 9 : 5
  720, 000 - (216 000 + 144,000) = 360,000
  6/20 x 360000 = 108,000
  9/20 x 360000 = 160000
  5/20 x 360000 = 90000
3. If the amount put back into the business was added to individual’s shares proportional to their initial contribution, find the amount of each partner’s shares (3mks)
  60000 + 6/20 x 216000 = 124,800
  90,000 + 9/20 x 216,000 = 187,200
  100,000 + 5/20 x 216,000 = 154,000
A bus left Nairobi at 7.00a.m and travelled towards Eldoret at an average speed of 80km/h. At 7.45a.m a car left Eldoret towards Nairobi at an average speed of 120km/h. Given that the distance between Nairobi and Eldoret is 300km. Calculate;
1. The time the bus arrived at Eldoret (2mks)
  time taken = 300
  80
  = 3 hr 45 min
  7.00 + 3.45 = 10.45 am
2. The time of the day, the two met (3mks)
  distance covered by the bus at 7.45 am = 80 x 3/4 = 60 km
  remaining distance = 300 - 60 = 240km
  time taken to meet = 240/200
  = 1 hr 12 min
  time = 7.45 + 1.12
  = 8.57 am
3. The distance from Nairobi where the two met (2mks)
  60 km + (80 x 1.2)
  60 + 96 = 156 km
4. The distance of the bus from Eldoret when the car arrived in Nairobi (3 mks)
  time taken by the car to reach
  Nairobi = 300 = 2¹/₂
  120
  Distance of bus from nairobi =
  60 + (80 x 2.5) = 260 km
  distance from Eldoret = 300 - 260
