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 …
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 experime…

Chapter 3.1, Problem 35E

In Exercises 17–36, compute the specified quantity. Round all answers to the nearest month, the nearest cent, or the nearest 0.001%, as appropriate.

Layaway Fees Layaway plans allow you, for a fee, to pay for an item over a period of time and then receive the item when you finish paying for it. In November 2011, Senator Charles E.

Thinking of the fee as interest, what simple annual interest rate would you be paying for this layaway plan?
