Question 11

Three bags of wheat, two bags of corn, and one bag of oats weigh the same as one bag of wheat, one bag of corn and five bags of oats.

If two bags of corn and one bag of oats weigh 26 pounds, and one bag of corn weighs 10 pounds, how much does one bag of wheat weigh?
Show explanation Expand Question
Let the weight of one bag of wheat be \(w\) pounds, one bag of corn be \(c\) pounds, and one bag of oats be \(o\) pounds.

From the first statement, the two sides have equal weights:\[3w + 2c + o = w + c + 5o\]Rearranging this equation gives:\[2w + c - 4o = 0\]which can be written as:\[2w = 4o - c\]
From the second statement, two bags of corn and one bag of oats weigh 26 pounds. Since one bag of corn weighs 10 pounds, substitute \(c = 10\):\[2(10) + o = 26\]\[20 + o = 26\]\[o = 6\]
Substitute \(o = 6\) and \(c = 10\) into \(2w = 4o - c\):\[2w = 4(6) - 10 = 24 - 10 = 14\]\[w = 7\]
This shows that one bag of wheat weighs 7 pounds.

Given Information

Motors Produced by Production Team
25% of all motors from Production Team A had defects, 6% of motors from Production Team B had defects, 9% of motors from Production Team C had defects, 15% of motors from Production Team D had defects, and 13% of the motors from Production Team E had defects. ---Do not include the data above

Question 12

Which Production Team made the most motors without defects?
Show explanation Expand Question

To determine which Production Team made the most motors without defects, the actual number of defect-free motors produced by each team must be calculated, not just the defect percentages.

From the diagram, the total number of motors produced by each team is:
Team A = 4,500  
Team B = 2,500  
Team C = 3,500  
Team D = 4,000  
Team E = 3,000  

The number of motors without defects is calculated using:
(100% − defect percentage) × total production

Team A: 75% × 4,500 = 3,375  
Team B: 94% × 2,500 = 2,350  
Team C: 91% × 3,500 = 3,185  
Team D: 85% × 4,000 = 3,400  
Team E: 87% × 3,000 = 2,610  

Thus, Team D produce the most cars without defects.

Question 13

XYZ Company purchased a new machine in March at \$50,000 and is using the profits to pay it off. Profits in March were \$7,876.

If the profits increase by 2% from the previous month, in what month will the machine be completely paid off?
Show explanation Expand Question
\[ \text{Cost of machine} = 50{,}000\] \[ \text{Profit in March} = 7{,}876\] \[ \text{Monthly increase} = 2\% \Rightarrow r = 1.02\] \[ a = 7{,}876\] \[ S_n = a \frac{r^n - 1}{r - 1}\] \[ 7{,}876 \times \frac{1.02^n - 1}{0.02} \ge 50{,}000\] \[ 7{,}876(1.02^n - 1) \ge 1{,}000\] \[ 1.02^n - 1 \ge \frac{1{,}000}{7{,}876}\] \[ 1.02^n \ge 1.127\] \[ \log(1.02^n) \ge \log(1.127)\] \[ n\log(1.02) \ge \log(1.127)\] \[ n \ge \frac{\log(1.127)}{\log(1.02)}\] \[ n \ge 6.06\] \[ n = 7\]

Counting from March:
