Is there any FReeper Math whizzes that can help us?
Posted on 11/16/2009 5:57:35 PM PST by netmilsmom
Okay, we have tons of algebra programs that can work with numbers but do not have any help with Story problems.
Can anyone tell us the formula for solving this, step by step.
Nine pounds of Sweet Potatoes cost the same as Six pounds of Apples. One pound of Sweet Potatoes cost twice as much as one pound of Onions. While a pound of Apples costs 24 cents more than a pound of Onions.
(we can't solve it with NO integers)
Can anyone tell us how to do this?

What grade level is that? We are looking for a computer math program when we finish up with Rightstart Math. I have looked at Teaching Textbooks and VideoText Algebra. Do you like it and is there any support for it beside FR? LOL!

The value of the dollar is too unstable to find the answer to what ever you are wanting to calculate.

I’m very late here and I have not read the thread, but I don’t think you can get non-variable prices from this.
However, I think you can express all the prices in pounds, if you use a variable (call it p).
Good luck.

Thanks for the help!
Our curriculum is lacking and we are moving on to Hippo Campus.
Hopefully this will help!

This is 9th grade algebra.
I found out that if you get the 2006 and above editions, they have the solutions.
That’s what I get for buying my curriculum on ebay.
We just found Hippo Campus though and I think that’s what we will go with.

9 SP = 6 app
SP = 2 * On
Ap = On + 24
9 (2On) = 6 (On+.24)
18 On = 6 On + 1.44
12 On = 1.44
On = .12
App = .12 + .24
App= .36
9SP = .36*6
9SP = 2.16
SP = .24
Sweet Potatoes = 24 cents a pound
Apple = 36 cents a pound
Onion = 12 cents a pound
And the year is approximately 1973 >:)

I remember these type problems.
I did homework with a girl who was always able to solve them faster than I could.
She went on to become a Math Professor Groupie, and I became a truck driver in the Army.
