Observe the table:
The matrix is the amounts borrowed by each student.
The matrix is .
The matrix is the monthly interest rates.
Th matrix .
(b) Find the multiplication of the two matrices.
The two matrices are and .
Multiplication of two matrices is possible if the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix.
.
.
The product of the two matrices is .
Therefore, after one month jamals loans accured in interest and stephanies loans accured in interest.
(c) Find the value of where .
