Your answer:

Sally will need to work weeks.

Your answer:

Sally will need to work weeks.

Your answer:

Sally will need to work weeks.

Your answer:

Sally will need to work weeks.

Correct answer:

Sally will need to work weeks.

Explanation:

This question is testing one's ability to recognize functions in everyday situations and build the mathematical model that shows the relationship between two quantities. A question such as this requires examination into the behavior between the quantities, whether it be explicit expression, a recursive process, or a multi-step calculation. It also requires the use of algebraic operations to solve the question at hand and then build a function that models the relationship.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, writing a function which describes a relationship falls within the Cluster A of build a function that models a relationship between two quantities concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.A). Questions in this cluster depend heavily of building an understanding between real life situations as seen through a mathematical perspective.

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify what the question is asking for.

Step 2: Identify what is given/known from the question.

Step 3: Using algebraic methods creating function to describe relationship.

Step 4: Answer the question.

Following the steps listed above for this particular problem is as follows.

Step 1: Identify what the question is asking for.

How many weeks will Sally need to work to earn enough money to buy the new computer?

Step 2: Identify what is given/known from the question.

The computer costs $\$1\textup,216$

Sally earns $\$$8/hour$

Sally works $8 hours/week

Step 3: Using algebraic methods creating function to describe relationship.

$\\ \textup{Cost of Computer}=\$1216 \\ \textup{Wage}= \$8\cdot \textup{hours} \\ \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}=8 \\ \textup{Cost of Computer}=\textup{Wage}\times \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}\times \textup{Weeks Worked}$

Step 4: Answer the question.

From this model, substitute in the known values and solve for the weeks worked to answer the question.

$\\ \textup{Cost of Computer}=\textup{Wage}\times \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}\times \textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \$1216=\$8\times 8\times \textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \$1216=\$64 \times \textup{Weeks Worked}$

Using algebraic operations divide by 64 on both sides to calculate the number of weeks Sally will need to work.

$\\ \frac{\$1216}{\$64}=\textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \\ 19=\textup{Weeks Worked}$

Your answer:

Jane will need to work weeks to buy the new backpack.

Your answer:

Step 1: Identify what the question is asking for.

How many weeks will Jane need to work to earn enough money to buy the new backpack?

Step 2: Identify what is given/known from the question.

The backpack costs $\$112$

Jane earns $\$$4/hour$

Jane works $3 hours/week

Step 3: Using algebraic methods creating function to describe relationship.

$\\ \textup{Cost of Backpack}=\$112 \\ \textup{Wage}= \$4\cdot \textup{hours} \\ \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}=3 \\ \textup{Cost of Backpack}=\textup{Wage}\times \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}\times \textup{Weeks Worked}$

Step 4: Answer the question.

From this model, substitute in the known values and solve for the weeks worked to answer the question.

$\\ \textup{Cost of Backpack}=\textup{Wage}\times \textup{Weekly Hours Worked}\times \textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \$112=\$4\times 3\times \textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \$112=\$12 \times \textup{Weeks Worked}$

Using algebraic operations divide by 12 on both sides to calculate the number of weeks Jane will need to work.

$\\ \frac{\$112}{\$12}=\textup{Weeks Worked} \\ \\ 9.\overline{3}=\textup{Weeks Worked}\\ \\10=\textup{Weeks Worked}$
