. a) A sum of Ksh.360 was to be divided equally among x homeless boys. An equal amount was to be shared among (x+4) homeless girls. This way, each boy would receive Ksh.3 more than each girl, calculate the amount to be received by each girl. (5mks)
b) But before the actual divisions were done, a well- wisher added Ksh.360 to
the boys kitty and Ksh.y to the girls pool, which made some boys to
dramatically cross-over to the girls side, making the boys group to be a
third of the ‘girls’ group.
i) Find the number of boys that defected to the girls’ side. (2mks)
ii) If each member in the two groups now received the same amount, find the value of y.
