Ashley has started her own bakery. She sells bagels by the dozen. 1. Draw a picture to shown the main idea for the problem. Then write an equation and solve it. Explain what property of equality you used to solve. If Ashley would like to earn $45 on 15 dozen bagels, how much should she charge per bagel?

2. Find how much Ashley should charge per dozen bagels to earn each amount for the number of bagels listed. Complete the table. Earnings $90 $100 $120 Dozens of Price per Equation Bagels Dozen 18 25 20 x 100 60 40 y

3. Ashleys daily expenses are $60. The equation y x 60 tells her daily profit (y) if she earns x dollars. Complete the table at the right to find Ashleys profit for each amount of income. Explain what each y-value means.

Teacher Notes
Concepts and Skills This activity requires students to: write and solve equations. choose and describe a property of equality. make a table of x and y values and graph an equation. write word descriptions for integers. Guiding the Activity Students can choose an item to sell and answer the same questions using their own product, prices, and expenses. Discuss the question What are some expenses of running a small business? Make sure students understand that profit equals earnings minus expenses. Answers 1.

Scoring Rubric
Level 4 Standard to be achieved for performance at specified level Full Achievement The student wrote, solved, and graphed equations without error. The student showed a thorough understanding of integers and properties of equality. Explanations were well written. Substantial Achievement The student wrote, solved, and graphed equations with only minor errors. The student showed considerable understanding of integers and properties of equality. Explanations were basically well written. Partial Achievement The student made a number of errors writing, solving, and graphing equations. The student showed some understanding of integers and properties of equality. Explanations were fairly complete, but not well written. Little Achievement The student gave answers that were incomplete or had many errors. The student showed little or no understanding of integers or properties of equality. Explanations were missing or unclear. No Achievement The student provided a completely incorrect response, one that was not interpretable, or no response at all.
