Main:

Example 1


Matti sells blueberries at the market for €7/kg. The rent of the marketplace for one day is €140. How many litres of blueberries does Matti have to sell per day so that his daily earnings would be €100? Matti has bought the blueberries from the pickers for €3/kg.

Example 2


Solve the equations - linear and quadratic 


a) 3x - (5x + 1) = 3 - 9x

b) 3x / 8 - 2 = x / 8

Example 3


Solve the equations - quadratic (check the formula above)


(x^2) / 2 - 8 = 0

Example 4


Solve the equation for the other variable.


Solve for y


6x - y = 3

Example 5


The company manufactures patio chairs, whose raw material and labour costs are €15/piece. 5 000 €/month accrues costs independent of the production volume. How many patio chairs must be produced per month so that the production cost of one chair is €19?
