1. Exploration. a. The King trades his coins at the bank, according to their official value, with the object of having as few coins as possible in the tiny pocket of his slinky new pants. He starts with 1000 florins. What does he end up with? b. Prince Enbel has one ducat. He buys a toastereo (a popular appliance which, unfortunately, does not make coffee), costing 50 ecus. If he is given the fewest coins possible, how much change does he get? c. Princess Lisa has one ecu. She wins the first prize in a contest in Names Magazine. The prize is one ducat, one ecu, and one florin. She now has four coins, but they won't fit into her pocket. What does she have after trading them in to get as few coins as possible? (The second prize would have been a T-shirt with the Names logo and no pockets at all.) d. Sol Grundy has no money. He gets a job at the toastereo store, earning one florin per day, seven days a week. Since his pockets are fashionably small, he trades his money as often as possible in order to have as few coins as possible. If he starts his new job on Monday, how much does he have each day of the week? And the next week? (Assume he doesn't spend any money.)

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

On the treeless planet of Glosia, the currency consists of florins, ecus, and ducats. **One florin is worth two ecus, and one ecu is worth two ducats.** Since there is no paper, there is no paper money, and the people of Glosia have to carry coins everywhere. King Evariste VII, being immensely rich, must wear bloomers with enormous reinforced pockets to hold his money.

One day, the King realizes that there is a new trend in Glosian fashion: elegant men and women wear only small pockets. Evariste VII, not one to be left behind by the great movements of style, decides to institute a drastic economic reform, by enacting a strange law: **One ducat is worth two florins!** (The old rules are not changed.) When you realize trades can be made in either direction, you can see how the King’s brilliant legislation will abolish poverty forever!

The people of Glosia are ecstatic. With the new system, one may have a fortune in one’s pockets, and yet never carry more than three coins! One can be rich and fashionable at the same time. For example, if you own eight ecus, you can go to the bank, and trade them in for four florins. These can be traded again, for two ducats, which equal one ecu, which will certainly fit in your pocket.
