MTH105 QUANTITATIVE REASONING Project Number 1 Tailgate Mission You and your closest 9 friends decide to tailgate before attending the EGCC Gator Baseball game. You each give $5.00 for food and beverages. You are in charge of shopping at your local supermarket. Based on your budget, decide what are your best options are for purchasing hamburgers and/or hot dogs, beverages, condiments, and snacks. You need to justify (unit analysis) why you made the decisions you did. Space is given below each item to show the unit analysis. You must complete the unit price for the entire worksheet regardless of whether or not you use that item in your tailgate. Must show calculations/formula for credit. Any answer given with no calculations shown will result in no credit for that answer. This is an exercise that tests your skills in conversions, planning, and general math skills. You MUST spend no less than $45 and no more than $50 with a mixed variety of items in different categories. You can look up conversions on the internet they are readily available Assumptions: • All paper products, utensils, and ice are provided by someone else in the group. • You must stay within budget and cannot get money from any other source. • All hamburgers must weigh approximately 1/4 of a pound precooked. • HINT: Use unit conversions to compare what item is a “better deal”.
