Four friends are comparing their bicycles. They have realised that the wheels on the bikes are different sizes. The matrix \begin{bmatrix} 60 & 64 \\ 58 & 56 \end{bmatrix} shows the radii of the wheels on each of their bikes in centimetres.
What scalar multiplier will give the distances travelled by each bicycle in a single rotation of their wheels?
Hence find these distances, to the nearest whole number. Express your answer as a \\ 2 \times 2 matrix.

A bakery has three varieties of sausage rolls; meat, spinach, and mushroom. The bakery has two stores, which are both owned by the same person. One of the bakeries is near the beach and the other is in the city. The sales are split into morning and afternoon, and these sales are shown in the matrices below:
Beach location:
| Meat | Spinach | Mushroom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 10 | 9 | 6 |
| Afternoon | 18 | 12 | 7 |
City location:
| Meat | Spinach | Mushroom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 22 | 16 | 20 |
| Afternoon | 38 | 32 | 29 |
Write the data from the Beach location into matrix B, where the rows are the times of day, and the columns are the types of sausage roll.
Write the data from the City location into matrix C, where the rows are the times of day, and the columns are the types of sausage roll.
Calculate the matrix sum B + C.
The profit on each sausage roll sold is \$2.80. Use matrix B + C to calculate the total profits.
