grandparents, dragons, and probabilities
What is the probability I can attend a reception for grandparents at 6pm at Lamar and 35th, and make to a movie about dragons on Alamo South Lamar by 7:05pm?
broccoli is good
If it is broccoli, then it is good.
It is Pingu implies it is noisy.
It is Bahm-pwi only if it is bitey.
If we are the Stitchies, then there is only one of us.
I am hungry if I am Hur-shiu.
P&P2
I was super tired last night and fell asleep after reading 4.5 pages of Pride and Prejudice (P&P). Actually I’m going to be really busy for the next week… but that’s okay, because I figure that if I just read 4.5 pages everyday until next Friday, and then starting next Friday I read 34.5 pages each night, that I should be able to finish the book in time for the book club (now 14 days away). Am I right?
What if I decided to read 5.5 pages today (to make my avg reading for the past two days 5p/day) and 5 pages every day after that for the next few days. How many days could I keep doing this (reading 5p/day) without having to read more than 30 pages a day in order to finish the book on time?
At what point should I just give up on the book?
Please give detailed support for your response.
Pride and Pejudice
Pride and Prejudice is 292 pages long. I have 15 days to read it for the Jane Austen book club. How many pages do I need to read each day in order to make sure I finish it in time? Also, on a related note, does anyone have a copy of the Cliff’s Notes for Pride and Prejudice?
t-shirts
I paid $10 a shirt for 200 running shirts. At a race I sold 1 for $20 each, and 2 for $30. After the race I had $780, and 151 shirts left. How many shirts did I sell for $20 and how many shirts did I sell for $15?
Bonus:
If I reduced the price of all shirts to $15, how many more shirts would I need to sell to break even?
