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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 3.II, Problem 45RE

Tim Meekma owns a PepsiCo vending truck that holds 360 quarts of soda. Last Saturday at a carnival, Tim sold out completely. He sells a 10-ounce Pepsi for $1.25. There are 16 ounces in a pint and 2 pints in a quart.

a. How many drinks did he serve?

b. How much revenue did he take in for the day?

c. For the next carnival, Tim is considering switching to either a 12-ounce drink for $1.65 or a 16-ounce drink for $1.95. As his business adviser, what size do you recommend, assuming each would be a sellout?
