For a club gathering you were having, you bought a total of 50 burgers, and spent $90. You paid $2 per turkey burger, and $1.50

for each veggie burger. Next year, you want to spend the same amount of money on burgers, $90. If the number of turkey burgers is doubled, would you have to cut the number of veggie burgers in half? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>No. You would have to cut the number of veggie burgers in more than half.</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Model the situation with a system of equations</u>

<u />

<u>a) Name the variables:</u>

  • number of turkey burgers: t
  • number of veggie burgers: v

<u />

<u>b) Number of burgers:</u>

  • 50 = t + v

<u />

<u>c) Cost of the 50 burgers:</u>

  • $90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>2. Solve that system of equations:</u>

<u />

<u>a) System</u>

  • 50 = t + v
  • 90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation</u>

  • 100 = 2t + 2v
  •  90 = 2t + 1.50v

  • 10 = 0.5v
  • v = 20 ⇒ t = 50 - 20 = 30

<u />

<u>c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)</u>

  • $2(40) + $1.50(15) = $80 + $22.50 = $102.50

Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).

To calculate mean: Just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.345 + 673 + 728 +775 + 822 +827 +839 + 951 = 5960/8 = 745
633 +  673 + 728 +775 + 822 +827 +839 + 951 = 6248/8 = 781781- 745 = 35 It increases by 35To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle. BUT, with an even amount of numbers things are slightly different.  In that case we find the middle pair of numbers, and then find the value that is half way between them. This is easily done by adding them together and dividing by two. 345 673 728 775 822 827 839 951 The median = 822-775 /2
The median =23.5After the change633 673 728 775 822 827 839 951   The median = 822-775 /2
The median =23.5The median stays the same.
