Question 1188615: CONTEXT:
You need to invest in an air conditioner (A/C). You have two choices.
1. A/C, regular
2. A/C, with inverter
You are assuming that the A/C with inverter will be the better choice in the long run.
QUESTION: WHEN will it be the better choice?
DATA:
1. A/C, regular
Price: PhP 24,000
Down Payment: PhP 8,000
(12) Monthly Installments: PhP 1,375
2. A/C, with inverter
Price: PhP 35,000
Down Payment: PhP 13,500
(12) Monthly Installments: PhP 1,890
TASKS:
1. Create a model of the data you have by letting the down payment be the
y-intercept and the monthly payment as the slope.
2. What is the graph of the system?
3. Compute for the solution by using substitution.
