ELECTRIC BILL ‘A company received an electric bill of $109 for one month. The bill is, shown at the left. The manager of the company told the employees that the electric bill needed to be cut exactly in half the next month. How many kilowatt hours did they need to use to have a bill half as large? 1st 600 kWh @ 4g each = $ 24 Next 850 kWh @ 10¢ each = $ 85 TOTAL = $109 ‘You can see that the number of kilowatt hours used must be greater than 600, since $24.00 is less than half of $109.00. Half of $109.00 is $54.50 (109 + 2 = 54.5). “Try: 800 kWh 600 kWh @ 4g each = 600(0.04) = 24.00 200 kWh @ 10¢ each = 200(0.10) = 20.00 TOTAL = $44 ‘Since $44.00 is less than $54.50, the possible solution of 800 kWh was too low. ‘The next try should be higher. ‘Try: 1000 kWh 600 kWh @ 4g each = 600(0.04) 400 kWh @ 10g each = 400(0.10) TOTAL = $64 \ce $64.00 is greater than $54.50, the possible solution of 1000 kWh was too high. The next try should be less than 1000 but greater than 800. If you continue this process of trying, testing, and revising, you can quickly find that the correct number of kilowatt hours used is 905. Example 1 shows an important fact about solving problems in mathematics. ‘The missing number in this problem was found using the Try, Test, Revise strategy. The missing number could also have been found using equation- solving techniques. Many problems in mathematics can be solved correctly in more than one way. 98 Chapter2 Equations and InequalitiesFor some problems, there may be no solution. For others, several solutions are possible, In the following example, the strategy Try, Test, Revise is used to show that no solution is possible. [SEAMEN the cost of 3 different sandwiches on a menu are roast beef $3.25, cheese $2.75, and Reuben $3.75. Carola bought 2 sandwiches with a $10 bill and received $4.25 change. Which sandwiches did she buy? Try: 2cheese sandwiches _-2 x $2.75 = $5.50, $10 ~ $5.50 = $4.50 $4.50 is too much change. The next most expensive sandwich is roast beef. ‘Try: 1 cheese sandwich, 1 roast beef sandwich $3.25 + $2.75 = $6, $10 - $6 = $4 $4 is not enough change. Every other combination of sandwiches is more expensive, so less change than $4 is returned. Thus there is no solution.

(The pieces may not be stacked.) ‘Two friends planned an 80-km walk/bike-a-thon. They wanted to start and arrive at the same time. The bike would only carry one person at a time. ‘They decided that one of them would ride a certain distance, then leave the bike for the other and continue walking. Both walk at the same rate of speed and both ride at the same rate of speed. At what distances should the bicycle be left so that each person walks twice and rides twice? 2-9 Reasoning Strategies 99Application Helicopter Flight Time Tis United States Const Guard re2oue helcoptr can cay a fet of cargo.

A load of me Some helicopters can carry cargo internally, inside the body of the aireraft, or externally, strapped beneath or to the side of the body. When the cargo is carried externally, the airspeed is decreased because of drag on the helicopter. However, loading and unloading for cargo carried externally is much faster. ‘Suppose that cargo can be loaded by either of the two methods, but not by a combination. When transporting cargo, how can delivery time be minimized? al equipment is to be carried a distance of 80 miles and delivery time is to be minimized. Assume the following data. ‘Average Speed (mi/h) | Loading Time (hr) [Unloading Time (hr) Internal Load 140 } 4 External Load 100 b t ‘The average speed when carrying the load internally is 140 mi/h. Thus it will take #4 hours to travel 80 miles with only an internal load. ‘The total delivery time for an inside load is loading time + flight time + unloading time = 1 4 mo 4, 1 a. 1k Hf torke ‘The ayerage speed when carrying the load externally is 100 mi/h.
