2 steps

Here's the solution for question (2):

Calculate the total amount of money Mrs.
Kofi has.
Mrs. Kofi buys 10 litres of kerosene at N50 per litre.
$\text{Total money} = 10 \text{ litres} \times \text{N}50/\text{litre} = \text{N}500$
Calculate how many litres she can buy with the same amount of money if the price rises to N100.00 a litre.
The total money Mrs. Kofi has is N500. The new price is N100.00 per litre.
$\text{Quantity bought} = \frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{New price per litre}} = \frac{\text{N}500}{\text{N}100/\text{litre}} = 5 \text{ litres}$
Mrs. Kofi can buy 5 litres of kerosene.

The final answer is $\text{5 litres}$ .
