  1. Write down a 2 × 3 matrix A to represent the information shown in the table.[1]
  2. The price per ticket is SGD 30 for Section A, SGD 25 for Section B and SGD 20 for Section C. Represent the price of the tickets in a 3 × 1 column matrix P.[1]
  3. Evaluate the matrix \((1\ 1)AP\).[2]
    Interpret the element(s).[1]
