Linear equations system: Finding Price

Topic: Linear equations system with two variables

Quarter: 2
Grade : Eight, junior secondary school
Title : Finding price
Time : Two or three 45-minute class session
Before teaching
Overview: (what students are going to do?)
Given the prices of combinations of items, students able to determine prices of
single items. Students use strategies such as exchanging, reasoning, and finding
patterns in combination chart to solve shopping problems. Students will discover
how patterns are related to patterns in a succession of equations.
Goals: (What will the students be able to do when they finish this lesson?)
Students will:
Use pictures, words, or symbols to solve problems;

Use exchanging, substituting and other strategies to solve problems;

Develop an understanding of equation and variable;
Describe one's own solution process and follow the solution process of someone else;
Discover, investigate and extend patterns;
Organize information from problem situations using combination charts and equations;
Interpret a mathematical solution in terms of the problem situation;
Develop reasoning skills to solve equation-like problems;
Recognize similarities in solution strategies
Solve informally problems that involve system of equation

About mathematics: ( What new concepts will be used in this lesson?)

In the previous, students used the value of one item of each kind to find the value of a
combination. In this section, students use the value of the combination of items to find the
value of one item of each kind. Students create new combinations from given ones by
adding, subtracting, or extending patterns.
In each problem context in this section, students are given two linear equations (in picture or
story form) with two unknowns, which are the prices of two items by themselves. As
students solve problems using visual representations of the combinations and a combination
chart, they develop reasoning skills for solving systems of equation.

During Teaching
Introduction: (What is the context? How the students work?)
Introduce this section by discussing with students their own shopping experiences and the
prices of items in familiar store. Divide students in the small group if necessary.
Activities:

1. Students may work on contextual problems 1-3 and 4-7 in a small group or
individually.
2. By moving around find out which students or groups have the clever or
intended strategy. This information is important in discussing session.
3. Stimulate the students to compare their solutions.
4. Ask the student or the group of students to present their answer in front of the
class.
5. Guide the students in a class discussion
On-going assessment:
Problem 8-10 can be used to informally assesses student's ability individually.
After Teaching
End-class assessment
Problems 1- 4 in assessment materials can be used to assesses students ability to
solve the shopping problems.
Home work
Problem 11 and 12 in the student materials may be assigned as homework.

Teacher Guide

1. Without knowing the prices of a pair of

glasses
or a calculator, you can
determine which item is more expensive.
Explain how.
2. How many calculators can you buy for $
50?

3. What is the price of one pair of glasses?

Explain your reasoning.

Comments about the Problems.

Encourage students to use exchanging to solve
problems.
1. Tell the students to try to solve problem
without finding the price of each item. If they
do, ask them to try solving the problem in a
different way.
2. Students may solve this problem by imagining a
picture that contains only calculator.

3. Some students may use a guess-and-check

strategy. Other students may double the first
picture to get four pairs of glasses and two
calculators, then exchange two calculators for
one pair of glasses, to end up with five pairs of
glasses that total $ 100.

Hints, comments and solutions

Overview. Given the costs of two
combinations of glasses and calculators,
students use an exchanging strategy to
determine the price of each item.
Solution:
1. Glasses are more expensive than
calculators. Sample explanation:
covering up one pair of glasses
and one calculator from each
picture shows that one pair of
glasses costs the same as two
calculators. So a pair of glasses
costs more than a calculator.
2. You can buy five calculators for $ 50.
Explanations will vary. Sample
explanation:
Since two calculators cost the same as
one pair of glasses, exchange the
glasses for two calculators in either
picture. The result is that five
calculators cost $ 50.
3. One pair of glasses cost $ 20.
Explanations will vary. Sample
strategy:
From 2 is found that five calculators
cost $ 50, so a calculator costs $ 10.
From the second picture a pair of
glasses and three calculators are $ 50,
so a air of glasses is $ 20.

Solutions:
4. Which is more expensive, a cap or an
umbrella? How much more expensive
is it?
6. Use the two pictures above to make a
new combination of umbrellas and caps.
Write down the cost of the combination.
7. Make a group of only caps or only
umbrellas. Then find its price.
8. What is the price of one umbrella? One
cap?
4. The umbrella is more expensive by $ 4. Strategies will vary. Some students may cover up a
cap and an umbrella in each row. This leaves one umbrella and one cap, with a $ 4 difference
between their costs.
5. Answers will vary. Some students may double the first or second combination to get four
umbrellas and four caps, totaling $ 160, or two umbrellas and four caps, totaling $ 152.
Other students may add the two combinations: three caps and three umbrellas
cost $ 80 + $ 76, or $ 156.
6. Answers will vary. Sample student strategies:
Strategy 1
Some students will exchange a cap for an umbrella or vice versa in either picture.
Since an umbrella is $ 4 more than a cap, trade the cap in the first picture for an umbrella and
add $ 4 to $ 80. So, three umbrellas cost $ 84.
Since an umbrella is $ 4 more than a cap, trade the umbrella in the second picture for a cap. So,
three caps cost $ 72.
Strategy 2
Some students may extend the strategy in problem 5 and look for patterns in an organized list as
pictured below.

$ 152

$ 156

$ 160

Reading down, as the umbrellas increase by one, the caps decrease by one and the amount

increases by $ 4. In two more moves, there will be six umbrellas and no caps for $ 168
Reading up, as the umbrellas decrease by one, the caps increase by one and the amount decreases
by $ 4. In two more moves, there will be no umbrellas and six caps for $ 144.

7. One cap costs $ 24 and one umbrella costs $ 28.

Solution:
8. One jacket cost $ 14 and one T-shirt cost
$ 8. Explanations will vary. Sample
explanation:
2 T-shirts + 1 jean = $ 30
1 T-shirts + 2 jean = $ 36
0 T-shirts + 3 jean = $ 42
1 jean = $ 14 ( divide by 3)
Because a jean is $ 6 more than a T-shirt,
A T-shirt costs $ 8.
This method can be used in reverse by
repeatedly exchanging a jean and
subtracting $ 6 each time.

9. No, this is not a fair exchange. The two pictures

show that adding two pencils and eliminating a
clipboard decreases the price by $ 1. To be fair, B
should pay A $ 1.
10. One pencil costs $ 0.25, and one clipboard costs $
1.50.
Explanations will vary. Sample students
strategies:
Strategy 1. Some students will repeat the exchange of
one clipboard for two pencils and total cost is decreased
for $ 1 until only pencils are left. At the end 16 pencils
equal to $4, so a pencil cost $ 0.25
Strategy 2. Some students may calculate the price of a
clipboard by repeatedly trading two pencils for one
clipboard and adding one dollar to the total cost. At the
end only 8 clipboards left costs for $12. So , one
clipboard
costs for $ 1.50
Summary
11.Shopping problems and explanations will vary.

8. Austin bought two T-shirts and

one jacket for a total of $30.
When he got home, he regretted
his purchase. He decided to
exchange one T-shirts for another
jacket. Austin was able to do this
, but he had to pay $6 more
because the jacket was more
expensive than the T-shirt. What
was the price of each item?
Explain your reasoning.

A spent $ 8 to buy four clipboards

and eight pencils. B spent $ 7 to
buy three clipboard and 10 pencils.
B wants to trade A two pencils for
a clipboard
9. Is that a fair exchange? If
not, who has to pay the
difference, and how much
is it?
10. What is the price of pencil?
What is the price of a
clipboard?
Explain your reasoning.
11. Create your own shopping
problems. Be sure you
can solve the problem, then
ask someone else to solve it.
Have the person explain to
you how he or she found the
solution.

Shopping problems can be solved using the method of exchange. Identifying a pattern in a
picture or combination chart can make it possible to find the cost of one item. Extending a
pattern or combining information can also help you find the cost of one item.

12. Explanations will vary.
By exchange the sample strategy as follows:
Divide the first picture by two (one of each for $ 17)
Than multiply by three to find the price of three basket ball and three football ($
51)
Than compare to the second pictures
Subtract to find the price of two footballs ($ 22)
The price of one football is $ 11.
Substitute the price of one football into the first line to calculate $ 17- $ 11= $ 6
Using the combination chart strategy will vary but produce the same result.

Student materials: Shopping Equations

Austin and Udin are friends. Their favorite store, which sells only Jeans and T-shirts, is
having a gigantic sale. Austin and Udin have saved some money, and they are ready to shop!
For this sale, all T-shirts have one price and all jeans have one price.

Austin buys two jeans and five T-shirts for $ 154

1 a. Find a possible per-item price for jeans and for T-shirts.
b. Are other prices possible? Explain your answer.
Is it possible that the price of a T-shirt is $ 32? Explain why or why not.
2a. What is the cost of four pairs of jeans and ten T-shirts?
What are some other purchases for which you know the cost?
You can write a "shopping equation" for Austin's purchase. If J stands for the jeans price
and T for the T-shirt price, you can write:
2J + 5 T = 154
This shopping equation is an example of an equation with two unknowns.

3. What shopping equation describes the price of four pairs of jeans and ten Tshirt? How is it related to the original shopping equation?
The equation 2J + 5 T = 154 is true for many values for J and T.
4. Check that the number pair J = 52 and T = 10 makes the equation true.
Find three other number pairs that work.
5. Another number pair that works for the equation is J = 8 and T = -2.
Explain why these values do not make sense for this problem.
Describe the ranges of values for J and T that make sense for this equation.
Values for J and T that make the equation true are called solutions to the equation.
6. Udin buys three pairs of jeans and four T-shirts. The total cost is $ 182.
a. Write a shopping equation for Udin's purchase.
b. Find three solutions without considering Austin's purchase.

7. Look back at the information you have for Austin's and Udin's purchase.
Using that information, find the prices for one T-shirt and one pair of jeans.

TABLES
In the previous unit: 'Comparing quantities', you developed several strategies to solve similar
shopping problems. For one strategy, called "notebook notation", information is organized
in a table.

Hannah solved problem 7

using the notebook notation
method, as shown on the right.

b. Once you know that T =
14, there is another way to
find the value of J.
Show how.

In problem 13, you found a pair of values that satisfies both equations. The pair of values is
called a common solution for the two equations.
14. a. Find a common solution for the two equations X + 2 Y = 95
and the X + Y = 55. Is there more than one common solution?
b. Do the equations X + 2 Y = 95 and 3 X + 6 Y = 290 have a common
solution?
c. Is there a common solution for these three equations: X + 2 Y = 95,
X + Y = 55 and 3 X + Y = 110? Explain your answer.
d. Sandy thinks three equations can never have a common solution.
Explain why you agree or disagree with Sandy.

15. A bill for two glasses of apple juice and three glasses of orange juice is
$ 5.20. Another bill for four glasses of apple juice and sic glasses of
orange juice is $ 10.40.
Explain why it is not possible to find the price of one glass of apple juice.
Suppose the price of one glass of orange juice is 40 cents more than the price of one glass of
apple juice. What is the price of one glass of apple juice?

Summary
In this lesson, you solved shopping problems. You used both a table
(notebook notation) and equations to solve the problems.
The equation 2X + 5Y = 100 has two unknowns, so it has many solutions.
When a pair of values satisfies two equations with two unknowns, that pair of
values is a common solution.
Summary Questions
Here are two equations with two unknowns:
2 X + 5 Y = 100
3 X + 8 Y = 156
This pair of equations has one common solution. Find it using a method discussed in this
section.
Does every pair of equations with two unknowns have one common solution?
