1. Plumber problem. Bathroom water is all plugged up and you need to hire a plumber. Company A charges $20 up front and $10 per hour and Company B charges nothing up front but $15 per hour. Which company would be better to hire? When would it not matter?
2. One day a shoe company bought 10 adult shoes and 20 children shoes for $600. The next week they bought 15 of each costing $750. How much does each pair of shoes cost?

1. John flies from Atlanta, Georgia, to San Francisco, CA. It takes 5.6 hours to travel 2100 miles against the head wind. At the same time Debby flies from San Francisco to Atlanta. Her plane travels with the same average airspeed but, with a tail wind, her flight takes only 4.8 hours. Using Systems, find the airplane and wind speeds.
2. Several students decide to start a T-shirt company. After initial expenses of $280, they purchase each T-shirt wholesale for $3.99. They sell each T-shirt for $10.99. How many must they sell to break even?

1. A piece of glass with an initial temperature of 99˚ C is cooled at a rate of 3.5 degrees Celsius per minute (˚C/min). At the same time, a piece of copper with an initial temperature of 0˚ C is heated at a rate of 2.5˚ C/min. Let m = the number of minutes, and t = the temperature in degrees Celsius after m minutes.
a. Write a system of equations that relates the temperature t of each material to the time m. Solve the system.
b. Writing Explain what the solution means in this situation.

The computer stopped while doing the Wiley's Restaurant's time sheets. There was no record of exactly how long each person worked. The computer did say that Lisa and Myles together worked 60 hours, Nick and Lisa together worked 70 hours, and Myles and Nick together worked 50 hours. They each are to be paid $8 per hour. How much should each person be paid?
The second angle of triangle is 50 degrees less than 4 times the first angle. The third angle is 40 degrees less than the first. Find the measures of the three angels using systems of equations.
Suppose you want to combine two types of fruit drink to create 24 kilograms of a drink that will be 5% sugar by weight. Fruit drink A is 4% sugar by weight, and Fruit Drink B is 8% sugar by weight. Using Systems, find how much of each type of fruit drink you need to use.
Geometry:
1. The measure of the angles of a triangle are given as 8x, (2x-4), and (4x +9). What are the measures of each angle?
2. In a certain triangle, the measure of one angle is 7 times the measure of the smallest angle, and the measure of the remaining angle is the sum of the measures of the other two angles. Determine the measure of each angle.
3. The second angle of triangle is 50 degrees less than 4 times the first angle. The third angle is 40 degrees less than the first. Find the measures of the three angles.

Suppose you enlarge a photograph that is 4 in. wide and 6 in. long so that its dimensions are 20% larger than its original size. Write a rule for the length of the copies. What will be the length if you enlarge the photograph five times? (Hint: The common ratio is not just 0.2. You must add 20% to 100%.)
