What's something that could go wrong if you use numbers that are not precise?​

Answer:

There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially when we have an error in a measure that we use a lot of times (each time, that error increases).

For example, you think that each meter of fence costs $5, but the actual price is $5.30, and you need 40 meters, then you think that you may need to pay:

40*$5 = $200

But they will actually charge you:

40*$5.30 = $212.

Now this is a small example, now let's go to medicine, suppose that you want to trait cancer with radiation in a pacient, if you do not use precise measures for the dosage of radiation or the measures of the tumor, you may cause a lot of damage in the patient. (And similar cases if you want to give some medication and the numbers that you use are not precise, you may overdose the patient)

So the use of precise numbers may be critical in a lot of scenarios.

You want to find values of v (number of visors sold) and c (number of caps sold) that satisfy the equation

... 3v + 7c = 4480

In intercept form, this equation is

... v/(1493 1/3) + c/640 = 1 . . . . . divide by 4480

Among other things, this tells us one solution is

... (v, c) = (0, 640)

The least common multiple of 3 and 7 is 21, so decreasing the number of caps sold by some multiple of 3 and increasing the number of visors sold by that same multiple of 7 will result in another possible solution.

The largest multiple of 21 that is less than 4480 is 213. Another possible solution is (0 +213·7, 640 -213·3) = (1491, 1)

We can also pick some number in between, say using 100 as the multiple

... (0 +100·7, 640 -100·3) = (700, 340)

In summary, your three solutions could be

... (visors, caps) = (0, 640), (700, 340), (1491, 1)
