UNIT 10 PROJECT
Target
Grabbing the Grubs
Pizza Bonanza
y=10x+20
Pizza Palace
y=9.25x+61.25
Statement of Opinion for "Grabbing the Grub"
I would conduct to this company because even though there is a setup fee that is more expensive than the Pizza Bonanza, Pizza Bonanza has a more expensive cost for every person attending ($10>$9.25).
For example, if the party were to have at least 56 people, which is most likely, the Pizza Palace would be cheaper. But if there would be less than 54, the other company would be better
Critical Thinking Q/A
1. Describe how you created each equation.
When creating my equations, I always find out which variable is the dependent, or the y, and which one is the independent or the x, I then plug the factors into the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b). I then find out the y-intercept, or the b, I first look at the fliers presented and read the part about cost. I knew that cost beforehand is the y-intercept because both of the fliers for food stated about having a set-up fee or a catering fee which is a beforehand demand of money.
2. Will there ever be a number of students where both companies will cost the same? Describe the steps you would use and then solve for the number of students for which both companies will cost the same amount.
Yes, there will be a number of students that will have a balanced cost for both of the companies. The number of students would be 55, I solved and got the number 55 because I first made the 2 equations into 1 equation without the ‘y’ so it looked like (10x+20=9.25x+61.25). I then solved the problem by isolating the equation by having the ‘x’ value on the left and the y-intercept on the right. I solved it to get 55,
3. If you only have a budget of $1000 for food, how many people, maximum, would you be able to have at the 7th Grade Blowout for each company? Can you have a decimal or fraction as part of your answer? Why or why not?
If you would have had $1000, the Pizza Bonanza Company would only apply to 98 people, but to the Pizza Palace company, would apply to 101 people or if you were to round 101.48 would round to 102 people. But since the math problem for the Pizza Palace ends up into the decimal, we have to round it.
Bounce Houses
Jumpin' Jack's Bounce House
y=54x+84
Hoppin' Around Bounce House
y=75x
Statement Of Opinion for "Bounce Houses"
But if there would be more than 3 hours, the other company would be better
Critical Thinking Q/A
1. Describe how you created each equation.
I created each equation by finding the cost per hour on the fliers for the Bounce Houses. I found that information because the fliers says “per”, and the word ‘per’ means the constant rate of change or slope. So that is plugged into the slope formula, y=mx+b and the ROC I plugged into the m. In the Jumpin’ Jack’s Company, there is a y-intercept because of the set-up and removal fee. While the other company doesn’t have a beforehand fee, or y-intercept (b). So I plugged the fee into the b slot. That is the equation for the companies.
2. Will there ever be a number of hours where both companies will cost the same? Describe the steps you would use and then solve for the number of hours for which both companies will cost the same amount.
Yes, because you would solve to find the point of intersection. The point of intersection is a symbol for the number of hours that would make both of the companies has an equivalent fee. The point of intersection in this problem would be 3, if you would double-check; you would plug the 3 into the x and have the same total cost for both of the companies.
3. If you only have a budget of $750 for the bounce house, how many hours, maximum, would you be able to have at the 7th Grade Blowout for each company? Can you have a decimal or fraction as part of your answer? Why or why not?
In the company Hoppin’ around, if you were to have $750, you would b able to afford 10 hours. While on the other hand, in Jumpin’ Jacks Bounce Houses Company, you would be able to afford 12 1/3 hours. Since when solving for the hours for Jumpin’ Jacks, I got 12.3333(repeating), you can have a decimal since it is talking about time so in this problem, the hours for Jumpin’ Jacks Company would be 12 hours and 20 minutes.
