Lindsey took a total of 8 quizzes over the course of 2 weeks. After attending 5 weeks of school this quarter, how many quizzes will Lindsey have taken in total? Assume the relationship is directly proportional. Since the relationship is directly proportional, set up a proportion of quizzes to weeks, where q is the number of quizzes Lindsey will take in 5 weeks: 8/2 = q/5 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=8&num2=q&den1=2&den2=5&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']We type this proportion into our search engine[/URL], and we get: [B]q = 20 [/B] Another way to look at this is, Lindsey takes 8 quizzes over 2 weeks.

You are purchasing carpeting for an office building. The space to be carpeted is 30 feet by 50 feet. Company A charges $2.99 per square foot plus a $200 installation charge. Company B charges $19.99 per square yard plus a $500 installation charge. What is the best deal? Did you notice the word snuck in on this problem? Company B is given in square [I][B]yards[/B][/I], not feet. Let's convert their price to square feet to match company A. [U]Company B conversion:[/U] Since we have 1 square yard = 3 feet * 3 feet = 9 square feet, we need to solve the following proportion: $19.99/square yard * 1 square yard/9 feet = $19.99 square yard / 9 feet = $2.22 / square foot. Now, let's set up the cost equations C(s) for each Company in square feet (s) [LIST] [*]Company A: C(s) = 200 + 2.99s [*]Company B: C(s) = 500 + 2.22s [/LIST] The problem asks for s = 30 feet * 50 feet = 1500 square feet. So we want to calculate C(1500) [U]Company A:[/U] C(1500) = 200 + 2.99(1500) C(1500) = 200 + 4485 C(1500) = 4685 [U]Company B:[/U] C(1500) = 500 + 2.22(1500) C(1500) = 500 + 3330 C(1500) = 3830 Since [B]Company B[/B] has the lower cost per square foot, they are the better buy.
