Gaining or losing weight comes down to calories burned vs. calories consumed. Burn more calories than you take in, and you’ll lose weight. Burn less than you take in, and you’ll gain weight. Simple. Let’s study some aspects of weight change.
George weighed 160 lb when he started college. If he gains just 0.25 lb each month for 4 years of college, how much will he weigh? Suppose he doesn’t change his habits after graduation, and continues that modest-sounding weight gain for the next 10 years after college. How much will he weigh for his 10th college reunion?

- Parent Volunteer Laurie was completing the treasurer’s report for her son’s Boy Scout troop at the end of the school year. She didn’t remember how many boys had paid the $24 full-year registration fee and how many had paid a $16 partial-year fee. She knew that the number of boys who paid for a full-year was ten more than the number who paid for a partial-year. If $400 was collected for all the registrations, how many boys had paid the full-year fee and how many had paid the partial-year fee?arrow_forwardWashing windows Scott can wash 37 windows in 3 hours, and Bill can wash 27 windows in 2 hours.
