Find the total cost of 3 notebooks, 4 wallets and pens.

2). Four sisters Anne, Betty, Chels and Dorothy shared the cost of a travel package to Switzerland. The contribution made by Anne is 1/2 that of the total contribution made by the other three sisters. Contribution made by Betty is 1/4 of the total contribution made by the other three sisters and the contribution made by Chels is 2/3 of the total contribution made by the other three sisters. If the total price of the package is $9900, find the contribution made by Dorothy.

3). Tank A is 1/2 filled with water. Tank B, which has twice the capacity of Tank A, is 1/3 filled with water. When water in Tank B is poured into Tank A until Tank A is completely filled with water to the brim, Tank B contained some water.
a). What fraction of Tank B's capacity is the fraction of the remaining water in Tank B?
b). Given that the length and breadth of Tank B are 34cm by 15cm respectively, what is the height of Tank B if the remaining volume of water in Tank B is 3.4 litres?

4). At a jewellery shop, 40% of the items are brooches. The remainder are rings and bangles. For every bangle, there are 4 rings.
