A bank charges a service fee of $7.50 per month for a checking account. A bank account has $85.00. If no money is deposited or withdrawn except the service charge, how many months until the account balance is negative? Let m be the number of months. Our balance is denoted by B(m): B(m) = 85 - 7.5m The question asks when B(m) is less than 0.

Let me post the whole equation paragraph: Brainteaser # 1: Answer for ACH A fellow geocacher decided that he would try to sell some hand-made walking sticks at the local geocaching picnic event. In the first hour, he sold one-half of his sticks, plus one-half of a stick. The next hour, he sold one-third of his remaining sticks plus one-third of a stick. In the third hour, he sold one-fourth of what he had left, plus three-fourths of a stick. The last hour, he sold one-fifth of the remaining sticks, plus one-fifth of a stick. He did not cut up any sticks to make these sales. He returned home with 19 sticks. How many did he originally take to the event? Multiply the answer by 3 and reverse the digits.

You and a friend want to start a business and design t-shirts. You decide to sell your shirts for $15 each and you paid $6.50 a piece plus a $50 set-up fee and $25 for shipping. How many shirts do you have to sell to break even? Round to the nearest whole number. [U]Step 1: Calculate Your Cost Function C(s) where s is the number of t-shirts[/U] C(s) = Cost per Shirt * (s) Shirts + Set-up Fee + Shipping C(s) = $6.50s + $50 + $25 C(s) = $6.50s + 75 [U]Step 2: Calculate Your Revenue Function R(s) where s is the number of t-shirts[/U] R(s) = Price Per Shirt * (s) Shirts R(s) = $15s [U]Step 3: Calculate Break-Even Point[/U] Break Even is where Cost = Revenue. Set C(s) = R(s) $6.50s + 75 = $15s [U]Step 4: Subtract 6.5s from each side[/U] 8.50s = 75 [U]Step 5: Solve for s[/U] [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=8.50s%3D75&pl=Solve']Run this through our equation calculator[/URL] to get s = 8.824. We round up to the next integer to get [B]s = 9[/B]. [B][URL='https://www.facebook.com/MathCelebrity/videos/10156751976078291/']FB Live Session[/URL][/B]

You and two friends share 7 cookies equally. How many cookies do you each get? 7/3 = 2 with a remainder of 1/3 So everybody gets 2 whole cookies, and they split the last cookie into 1/3. [B]2 & 1/3[/B]

Your friends in class want you to make a run to the vending machine for the whole group. Everyone pitched in to make a total of $12.50 to buy snacks. The fruit drinks are $1.50 and the chips are $1.00. Your friends want you to buy a total of 10 items. How many drinks and how many chips were you able to purchase? Let c be the number of chips. Let f be the number of fruit drinks. We're given two equations: [LIST=1] [*]c + f = 10 [*]c + 1.5f = 12.50 [/LIST] Rearrange equation 1 by subtracting f from both sides: [LIST=1] [*]c = 10 - f [*]c + 1.5f = 12.50 [/LIST] Substitute equation (1) into equation (2): 10 - f + 1.5f = 12.50 To solve for f, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=10-f%2B1.5f%3D12.50&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: [B]f = 5[/B] Now, substitute this f = 5 value back into modified equation (1) above: c = 10 - 5 [B]c = 5[/B]
