problem 3.3 and how to figure out the tax of an item

Today in class, we were working on problem 3.3. It focused on taxed items and how to find the tax of an item that can be purchaced. For example, if you bought 3 shirts for $9.99, you bought 2 pairs of pants for $20 , and the tax was 7% how would you find the total price.

1. First, you do $9.99 + $20= 29.99

2. Then you do $29.99 * .07 (because its 7 percent tax)=$ 2.0993 (which is about $2.1)

3. Then you take $ 29.99 + $2.1= $32.09

So, in conclusion $32.09 would be your total =]

Thats how you figure out how to add the tax to the amount to get the total

In class on Tuesday February, 24 we wrapped up problem 3.2 and corrected homework. In problem 3.2 there is a lot of multiplication and dividing. In class, we learned about steady paces and about miles per minute. A steady pace means that you are traveling at the same speed the whole time. Miles per minute or mpm means how many miles you travel in a minute. In class, we got into our groups and corrected the whole thing. Lots of people got somethings wrong because they got confused. Tonights homework is page 42 problems 10 and 11.

Today in class we worked on problem 3.1 in groups of three. The problems were based on three different types of calculators; fraction calculators, scientific calculators, and graphing calculators. We made a table showing the cost of the number of calculators. After that, we found the amount of calculators a school can get depending on what type of calculator the school wanted and the budget the school had. Lastly, we made an equation for each kind of calculator to show how you would find the cost of any number of calculators ordered.

For homework it is C&S page 40 #1-3, 33 due tomorrow.
It is just like the classwork we did today.

On Tuesday, we finished up problem 1.3 in Comparing and Scaling. 1.3 is about comparing the circumference, height, and spread/diameter of different kinds of trees. Here are some of the problems that we got to go over in class:

A.1. It takes about 1.5 redwood spreads to equal the spread of the white oak.
2. Yes, Kenning is correct because 120 (white oak spread): 80 (coast redwood spread) is equal to 3:2.
3. Yes, Mary is correct because 321 (height of coast redwood)-275 (height of giant sequoia)= 46.
4. It takes about 2 giant sequoias spreads to equal the spread of the swamp chestnut oak.
5. Jaime is correct because half of 216 is 108, and that is more than 107.
6. Yes, Len is correct.

B. The ratio of the height of the coast redwood tree to height of the man is 107:3. The difference between the height of the coast redwood tree and the man is 312 ft.

This is what we corrected in class on tuesday!

Today in class, we finished up problem 1.2, which talked about analyzing comparison statements. In this problem, we compared students at Neilson Middle School who preferred watching television to students at Neilson Middle School who preferred listening to the radio. On part B of the problem, we declared whether each statement, out of a group of statements, was true or false. For example, one of the statements says that 1/3 of the students prefer radio than television, and after looking at the data, this fact is true, so I would have marked "true" for this statement. Also in class today, we started problem 1.3, and this problem talked about writing comparison statements about trees and their Spread/Diameter measured in feet, their Circumference measured in feet, and their Height measured in feet. This is what we did in class today.

Today in class we were focusing on how advertisers decide what, where, and when to advertise. When is the right time to advertise? Do you want to target a specific audience? What channels should you advertise this probust on? These are all questions that advertisers ask themselves when they are advertising a product.

We finished problem 1.1 and started 1.2. We decided which advertisements would be the best to persuade people to buy them.

To figure out how to decide which advertisement mwould be the most effective, read the advertisement over and ovver and see if the wording is easy to understand and if the numbers are easy to figure out instantly.

To understand what the advertisement is saying, take the number(s) and make an equation or write a sentence that has easy wording.

DEFINATELY MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION IS TRUE!

Then, find other ways you could advertise the information.
