Attempt the following. It is important to show your workings (*comments are accepted.)

Question 1

You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 6% of the sales. The second company offers a salary of 390 per week plus 1% of the sales. How much would you have to sell in a week for the straight commission offer to be at least as good?

Question 2

Two times a number plus three times another number equals 44. Three times the first number plus four times the other number is 77. Find the numbers.

Question 3

Twelve less than four times a number is the same as six times the number. How do you find the number?

Question 4

Susana and Lawrence are running on a track. Susana finishes one lap every 5 minutes and Lawrence finishes one lap every 8 minutes. If they both start at the same time, after how many minutes will they be side by side again?

Question 5

The difference between two numbers is 20. Three times the smaller number is 44 more than the larger number. What are the numbers?

Question 6

If eight times a number equals 24 more than two times that number. what is the number?

Question 7

How do you find the greatest common factor of 20 and 28?

Example1

We define two variables x and y. x = 5 y = 6 print( x + y ) = 11 Result of print ( x + y ) is 11 Simple right? Let's attempt more examples.

Example2

Let's define two variables a and b. a = 15, b = 34 print( a + b) = 49 Let's do one more...

Example3

x = 3, y = 6
print( x * y ) = 18. Simple math!.

Example4

Let's try something different. Remember variable type String mentioned above Let's define two String variables x and y. x = "Hello " y = "my name is Joe" print( x + y ) = ? Let's add the two variables x and y. We'd get: print( x + y ) = "Hello my name is Joe"

Another example

x = "The capital of Oyo State is ", y = "Ibadan" print( x + y ) = ? Let's add the two variables x and y. We'd get: print(x + y ) = The capital of Oyo State is Ibadan

Something to note

Take a look at this example. We have two variables of different types. x ="How old is Tony?", y = 4 print( x + y ) = ? Let's add the two variables x and y. Result: This is not allowed. (We cannot add two different variable types). Why? We can only add variables of the same type. So, in this case. We can covert y into a String type by simple putting quotes around it ("4") x = "How old is Tony?", y = "4" print( x + y ) = ? Let's add the two variables x and y. Result: "How old is Tony? 4"

Nothing too difficult right? Now, it's your turn to attempt some questions

( 10 + 20 ) = ___________

Question B

print ( 40 + 20 ) = ___________

Question C

print ( 34 * 2 ) = ___________

Question D

print ( ____ + ____ ) = 50

Question E

_________ ( ____ * ___ ) = 33

Question F

print ( "We are going to " + "school" ) = ___________

Question G

print ( "We will arrive at " + 2 ) = ______________

Question H

print ( "Number of days in a leap year is " + _____________ ) = "Number of days in a leap year is 366"
