Access full lesson containing this video at: www.yourteacher.com Students learn to solve “interest” word problems, such as the following. Pam invested $5000. She earned 14% on part of her investment and 6% on the rest. If she earned a total of $396 in interest for the year, how much did she invest at each rate? Note that this problem requires a chart to organize the information. The chart is based on the interest formula, which states that the amount invested times the rate of interest = interest earned. The chart is then used to set up the equation.

Into a headwind, the plane flew 2000 miles in 5 hours. With a tailwind, the return trip took 4 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. The two variables used in this problem are p, the speed of the plane in still air, and w, the speed of the wind. So the speed of the plane with a tailwind can be represented as p + w, and the speed of the plane against a headwind can be represented as p — w. Note that this problem requires a chart to organize the information. The chart is based on the formula rate times time = distance. The chart is then used to set up the two equations.
