@Claire
You have 2 batches of one thousand Kenya shilling notes. Each batch has 11 notes (Serially arranged). You get 32 more (one thousand Kenya shilling) notes and then give out 21 of them. You then get 3 batches of notes each containing 5 notes and 1 batch of  notes with 5 one thousand shilling notes. How many shilling notes do you have? (Remember each note is 1000ksh, so if you lose one you lose a lot of mula)

...well, it is because of comments like yours that people end up
disliking mathematics. Some of us are not gifted in some areas, but it
doesn't mean that we are ignorant.

...When I ask a question it is because I want to know...If you have
the answer, then give me the answer, but don't throw in stuff from
wikipedia that I doubt you even understand (i.e. this Dunning–Kruger
$hit probably applies to you more than me)...

Thanks @paul for putting in the brackets above and I am now starting
to understand the brackets thingy...

Claire.
