1  cos x
a) Three friends purchased the following items from a shop: [4]

find the price of each item by using system of equations. Letting x, y and z as the prices
of each chewing gum, chocolate and energy bar respectively, write their system of
equations and solve using martin’s rule to determine the price of each item.
