Concept explainers

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.

Example 3: Alexis has a lengthy commute to work each day. There are two main routes that she takes on her way to work and they both average 40 minutes. Alexis likes to be able to predict how long before work she needs to leave in order to make it on time, and since both routes take the same average amount of time, she was interested in determining whether or not one route was more consistent with its timing. So she recorded how long it took her to drive to work 20 times total (Data shown below).

What is Jenny’s contribution margin per haircut? Jenny’s Cutting Station offers a new concept in haircuts; low cost and very quick. Set in a local mall, Jenny’s offers 15-minute haircuts for harried shoppers who do not have time for lengthy appointments. To ensure that the clients are in and out quickly, she schedules her 5 employees based on expected client traffic. Each of the employees is paid $1200 per month, with part of their pay coming from client tips. Jenny pays rent and overhead costs of $2000 per month on the facility. Because of the quick nature of the service, Jenny doesn’t have time to clean combs in between clients, so she uses a new comb for each customer, at a cost of $0.55 each. She also provides shampoo and conditioner for each client at a cost of $0.95 per client. The average price for a haircut is $12. Jenny pays herself $5000 per month.
The Harriet Hotel in downtown Boston has 100 rooms that rent for $150 per night. It costs the hotel $30 per room in variable costs (cleaning, bathroom items, etc.) each night a room is occupied. For each reservation accepted, there is a 5% chance that the guest will not arrive. If the hotel overbooks, it costs $200 to compensate guests whose reservations cannot be honored. How many reservations should the hotel accept if it wants to maximize the average daily profit?

Three friends are trying to predict who will make more money at work tomorrow. John works construction: he will make $250 tomorrow unless it rains, in which case he will make $0. Sara works in a restaurant: she will earn $100 if it is sunny, $200 if it is rainy, and $250 if the weather is average. Chris works in a warehouse, and he earns a flat rate of $200 per day, regardless of weather conditions. Suppose there is a 20% chance that tomorrow will be sunny, and 50% chance that the weather will be average, and a 30% chance of rain. Determine tomorrow’s expected earnings for each of these 3 friends. Compute the standard deviation for Sara’s earnings. Handwrite the solution
G.97.
The king is planning a new rectangular courtyard in his palace. It will be laid out using square tiles. He has chosen some very pretty, but very inexpensive, tiles. However, his adviser has informed him that some of the tiles will have to be a more expensive type. This is because visiting dignitaries will always walk along a certain diagonal, from one corner of the courtyard to the opposite corner, so the tiles along this diagonal will get lots of wear and tear. Every tile that contains a segment of the diagonal must thus be an extra-strength, more expensive tile. If a tile touches the diagonal only at a corner, it can be a regular tile. The diagram shows what the situation would look like if the king made a 4-by-6 courtyard. In this case, 8 tiles (shaded darker than the rest) include some portion of the diagonal, so these would need to be the more expensive kind. 1. The king wants to know how many of these special tiles to order. At the moment, he is planning a 63-by-90 tile…
