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.

The Generous Banker
"Double Your Money in 20 Years!" read the bank's advertisement. Adam
thinks this sounds like a pretty good deal, but he also thinks he might
be able to talk his way into something even better. So he goes in to
speak with the banker.
"Doubling your money is like increasing it by 100%, I think," he said
with a practiced uncertainty. "But what if I need my money before
20 years? Can I get a proportional part of the interest each year, just
in case?"
Never having studied much mathematics, the banker hesitates. "Well,
that seems fair, Mr. Smith," she finally replies. "How much should you
get each year?"
Adam takes out his calculator. “100% for 20 years...
let's see...
100 divided by 20...I guess that's 5% each year. Can you increase my
account by 5% each year instead?"
The banker agrees, and Adam deposits $1,000 in an account.
1. How much will be in the account 20 years later?
2. How much will be in the account if Adam instead convinces the
bank to give him a proportional amount of interest compounded
every 6 months instead of once a year?
3. If Adam gets a proportional amount of interest compounded every
3 months, then how much will be in the account 20 years later?

Fun Games is a store in the mall. They are having a going out of business sale. • The first day the price is 20% off the original price. • The second day the price is 20% off the first day price. • The third day the price is 20% off the second day price. • The fourth day the price is 20% off the third day price. • The fifth day the price is 20% off the fourth day price. The sixth day the business will be closed. Charlie wants to buy a used video game system with an original price of $125. He says he can wait until the fifth day of the sale and then he won’t have to pay anything for it because 20% off+ 20% off + 20% off + 20% off + 20% off = 100% off. Explain whether you agree with Charlie. Use mathematics to support your thinking.
