While reading your post,  I could not understand the meaning of these words   "I bought  2  items fewer with  sh.200".



I could not understand  "fewer than  WHAT ?"



I do not think that the text in your post is one-to-one word-in-word copy from the original source,

because standard textbooks and Math problems do not allow such uncertain formulations. 



If it is your free retelling of the problem,  then  PLEASE  do not retell  Math problems by your own words:

simply copy-paste or print one-to-one word-to-word from the source.

Hello, from this abbreviation   " kcse ",   it looks like that you are somehow connected/associated/affiliated with Kenya.


If so,  can you tell me please,  what months is a school year in  Kenya and what months is the  LONG  vacation?


I am asking because part of  Kenya is in the  North hemisphere,  while the other part is in the  South hemisphere . . .
