“THE TOUGH STUFF”

Page 2: VARIABLES ON BOTH SIDES  STORY PROBLEMS

A business representative is looking to rent a car. Rent-a-wreck charges $60 per day plus $0.20 per mile. Lemon Leasers charges $30 per day plus $0.50 per mile. At what miles are the costs the same?

Joe leaves his house and travels at a rate of 6 mi/h. His sister, Jane, realizes that Joe has forgotten his lunch and goes after him 15 minutes later. She travels at a rate of 8 mi/h. How long does it take Jane to catch up to Joe?

Page 8: VARIABLES ON BOTH SIDES  STORY PROBLEMS

This is a “same direction” problem.

Joe leaves his house and travels at a rate of 6 mi/h. His sister, Jane, realizes that Joe has forgotten his lunch and goes after him 15 minutes later. She travels at a rate of 8 mi/h. How long does it take Jane to catch up to Joe?

This is a “same direction” problem. When going the same direction, the

distances are equal.
