vi) A car dealer sells three brands of cars: Audis, BMWs and Chevrolets.
Her costs consist of registration, GST and the manufacturer's price of
the car. She has to pay registration costs of $200 per Audi, $600 per
BMWand $400 per Chevrolet. The GST charges are $1,800 per Audi,
$2,400 per BMW and $2,000 per Chevrolet. To the manufacturer she
pays $20,000 per Audi, $30,000 per BMW and $26,000 per Chevrolet.
Last year her total registration bill was $12,000, the total GST tax bill
was $65,600 and she paid a total of $784,000 to manufacturers.
Let a, band c denote the number of Audis, BMWs and Chevrolets she
sold last year.
a) Write down a system of linear equations in a, band c determined by
the above information.
b) Convert the system of equations to an augmented matrix form and
hence find a, band c by performing Gaussian elimination on the
augmented matrix.
