Algebra 1A - Final Exam Flashcards

Minimum Page Requirement for Menal

• Menal has a goal of reading 350 pages over 4 weeks.
• The equation representing Menal's reading goal is 50 + 45 + 4p = 350.
• The terms in the equation are:
  • 50 pages read in the first week.
  • 45 pages read in the second week.
  • 4p represents the total pages read over the 4 weeks.
• To find the minimum number of pages, p, she must read each week, isolate p in the equation.

Calculation Steps

• Sum the pages from the first two weeks: 50 + 45 = 95 pages.
• Substitute this sum back into the equation:
  • 95 + 4p = 350.
• Rearrange to solve for 4p:
  • 4p = 350 - 95, which simplifies to 4p = 255.
• Divide by 4 to find p:
  • p = 255 / 4, resulting in p = 63.75.
• Since Menal can only read full pages, round up to the nearest whole number:
  • Minimum pages per week = 64 pages.
• Thus, Menal must read at least 64 pages each week to meet her reading goal.
