Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness. The school A wants to award x each, y each and z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of 1,600. School B wants to spend 2,300 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award money to the three values as before). If the total amount for one prize on each value is 900, using matrices, find the award money for each value. Apart from these three values, suggest one more value which should be considered for award.
