Bala is setting up a factory to manufacture tennis b***s. If he buys a machine that costs Rs. 59728, then he can manufacture a tennis ball for Rs. 3.7. On the other hand, if he buys a machine that costs Rs. 44500, he can manufacture a tennis ball for Rs. 8.4.
How many tennis ball should he make so that his total cost is the same no matter which machine he buys?

Saina is deciding to buy a car. She can choose between a diesel car and a petrol car.
The diesel car costs Rs. 7310 than the petrol car. However, it can travel 15.9 kilometres per litre, whereas the petrol car can only travel 11.3 kilometres per litre.
Also diesel costs Rs. 55.65 per litre, and petrol costs Rs. 58.76 per litre.
If she buys a diesel car, how many kilometres must she drive before the savings in fuel covers the extra price of the diesel car?

The corners of a square with side 12 is cut away to form an octagon with all sides equal. What is the length of a side of the octagon so formed?
Let S be the side of the octagon......then.....before the corners are to be cut from the square, an isosceles right triangle is formed at each of these vertexes. The hypotenuse of this triangle = S.....and the other two sides are S/√2 each.
Then, before we make the cuts, the side of the square is composed of lengths of S/√2, S and S/√2 ...or, put another way.....
S + 2S/√2 = 12 simplify
S + √2S = 12 factor
S(1 + √2) = 12
S = 12/ [ 1 + √2 ]
See the following illustration :
GE, EF = S = 12 / [1 + √2] .... CE and FD = S/√2

How many tennis ball should he make so that his total cost is the same no matter which machine he buys?
Let x be the number of teniis b***s to make.....then, equalizing the total costs, we have
59728 + 3.7x = 44500 + 8.4x simplify
4.7x = 15228 divide both sides by 4.7
x = 3240 b***s should be manufactured to equalize the cost

If she buys a diesel car, how many kilometres must she drive before the savings in fuel covers the extra price of the diesel car?
.................................................................................................................................................
The diesel car costs 55.65/15.9 = 3.5R/km to operate ..... and the petrol car costs 58.76/ 11.3 = 5.2R/km to operate
So (5.2 - 3.5)x = 7310 where x is the answer we're looking for
1.7x = 7310 divide both sides by 1.7
x = 4300km
