Math Problem #3: Equations

Problem

Solution

An author is having a book signing at Barnes and Noble. She sells six stacks of pre-signed copies and 11 kids bring their own copies for her to sign. If she signed in all 119 copies, how many were in each stack?

• First set up your two step equation:

6x + 11 = 119

• First step is to subtract 11:

6x + 11 = 119

- 11 - 11

-------------------

6x = 108

Next you would divide 6x by 108 as fractions:

1/6 × 108/1 = 108/6

108 ÷ 6 = 18

Each stack had 18 copies.

Barbara is writing an article for Time Magazine. She is writing a 13 page article and has finished 7 pages. What percent of the article has Barbara finished?

Solution

Barbara is 53.8% finished with her article.

• I would first set up my information as a proportion. 7/13 equals x/100
• I would then cross multiply 13x equals 7(100)
• 7 times 100 equals 700 and then divided by 13 equals 53.8

What is a Writer?

a Writer

At a magazine company, they have five different people working on their articles at a time. The first person is typing 35 WPM, the second one is typing 27 WPM, the third is typing 42 WPM, the fourth is typing 38 WPM, and the fifth is typing 31 WPM. What is the average number of words being typed every minute?

Solution

The End!

• I would first add all the numbers together to get 173.
• Then I would divide 173 by 5 since that is the total number of people. 173 divided by 5 equals 34.6.

• A writer is a person who creates different written products including novels, scripts, advertisements, manuals, and newspaper articles.
• There are generally two types of writers. The first type is a fiction writer. Fiction writers use their imagination to create different stories with unique characters, setting, and plot. Novelists, poets, playwrights, and screenwriters are all examples of fiction writers.
• Non-fiction writers on the other hand write about real events, people, and places. They must gather information and relate the facts in their writing, but non-fiction writers also must be creative and try to keep the readers interested and excited in their writing. For example, Copywriters must make creative advertisements for different products that will entertain and excite you, but still tell you information about the product. Other non-fiction writers include travel writers and journalists.

They are typing an average of 34.6 WPM

How I Use Math as a Writer

Time management is very important when it comes to writing. Writers can be working on more than one project at a time, so it is good to plan ahead how long it will take you to do everything so you can make sure to turn in all your assignments on time.

• A bachelor's degree, which usually takes 4 years of school, is typically needed for a full time writing job.
• Many writers find it useful to take a creative writing course, which is offered at most colleges.

• Writers in California can earn anywhere from $28,000 to $106,000 a year.
• The median income for writers is $55,940 per year.
• The amount of money a writer makes can also depend on their ability to sell their work to publishers, and the popularity of their writing to the public, as a result, earnings for writers may vary.
• Book authors also receive a percentage of the total sales of their book, which is called royalty. Royalty can range from about 6% to 10%.

Being a writer allows you to use your imagination and get creative. It also provides a way for you to share your opinion and perspective on different problems and situations with the world. As a writer, you are able to transport people through words to a whole other place. It is fun being a writer because everyone who reads a book will imagine it a little differently in their heads. As a writer, doing different interviews and research can let you travel all around the world and let you learn about all the different people and cultures. Being a writer means that you can find inspiration everywhere and let yourself be creative. Writing is a way to express yourself.
