Answer

a

12000x\frac{12000}{x}

Here's a step-by-step solution to the problem based on the image provided:

Let xx be the original number of women in the group.
The total amount to be raised is Sh. 12000.

a) Write the expression for the original contribution per person.
If there are xx women and they need to raise Sh. 12000, the original contribution per person is the total amount divided by the number of women.

Original contribution per person=12000x\text{Original contribution per person} = \frac{12000}{x}

The expression for the original contribution per person is 12000x\boxed{\frac{12000}{x}}.

*b) Write an expression for the contribution per person after five
