David has been a long time advocate of open learning, open materials, and basically any idea that will reduce the cost of education for students. It started by supporting the college’s calculator rental program, and running a book loan scholarship program. Eventually the frustration with the escalating costs of commercial text books and the online homework systems that charged for access led to action. First, David developed IMathAS, open source online math homework software that runs WAMAP.org and MyOpenMath.com. Through this platform, he became an integral part of a vibrant sharing and learning community of teachers from around Washington State that support and contribute to WAMAP. These pioneering efforts, supported by dozens of other dedicated faculty and financial support from the Transition Math Project, have led to a system used by thousands of students every quarter, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars over comparable commercial offerings. David continued further and wrote the first edition of this textbook, Math in Society, after being frustrated by students having to pay $100+ for a textbook for a terminal course. Together with Melonie Rasmussen, he co-authored PreCalculus: An Investigation of Functions in 2010. Acknowledgements David would like to thank the following for their generous support and feedback. • Jeff Eldridge, Lawrence Morales, and Mike Kenyon, who were kind enough to license me use of their works. • The community of WAMAP users and developers for creating some of the homework content used in the online homework sets. • Pierce College students in David’s online Math 107 classes for helping correct typos and identifying portions of the text that needed improving, along with other users of the text. • The Open Course Library Project for providing the support needed to produce a full course package for this book. Preface The traditional high school and college mathematics sequence leading from algebra up through calculus could leave one with the impression that mathematics is all about algebraic manipulations. This book is an exploration of the wide world of mathematics, of which algebra is only one small piece. The topics were chosen because they provide glimpses into other ways of thinking mathematically, and because they have interesting applications to everyday life. Together, they highlight algorithmic, graphical, algebraic, statistical, and analytic approaches to solving problems. This book is available online for free, in both Word and PDF format. You are free to change the wording, add materials and sections or take them away. I welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for future development. If you add a section, chapter or problems, I would love to hear from you and possibly add your materials so everyone can benefit. New in This Edition Edition 2 has been heavily revised to introduce a new layout that emphasizes core concepts and definitions, and examples. Based on experience using the first edition for three years as the primarily learning materials in a fully online course, concepts that were causing students confusion were clarified, and additional examples were added. New “Try it Now” problems were introduced, which give students the opportunity to test out their understanding in a zero-stakes format. Edition 2.0 also added four new chapters. Edition 2.1 was a typo and clarification update on the first 14 chapters, and added 2 additional new chapters. No page or exercise numbers changed on the first 14 chapters. Edition 2.2 was a typo revision. A couple new exploration exercises were added. Edition 2.3 is a typo revision. Supplements The Washington Open Course Library (OCL) project helped fund the creation of a full course package for this book, which contains the following features: • Suggested syllabus for a fully online course • Possible syllabi for an on-campus course • Online homework for most chapters (algorithmically generated, free response) • Online quizzes for most chapters (algorithmically generated, free response) • Written assignments and discussion forum assignments for most chapters The course shell was built for the IMathAS online homework platform, and is available for Washington State faculty at www.wamap.org and mirrored for others at www.myopenmath.com. The course shell was designed to follow Quality Matters (QM) guidelines, but has not yet been formally reviewed. Problem Solving 1 Problem Solving In previous math courses, you’ve no doubt run into the infamous “word problems.” Unfortunately, these problems rarely resemble the type of problems we actually encounter in everyday life. In math books, you usually are told exactly which formula or procedure to use, and are given exactly the information you need to answer the question. In real life, problem solving requires identifying an appropriate formula or procedure, and determining what information you will need (and won’t need) to answer the question. In this chapter, we will review several basic but powerful algebraic ideas: percents, rates, and proportions. We will then focus on the problem solving process, and explore how to use these ideas to solve problems where we don’t have perfect information. Percents In the 2004 vice-presidential debates, Edwards's claimed that US forces have suffered "90% of the coalition casualties" in Iraq. Cheney disputed this, saying that in fact Iraqi security forces and coalition allies "have taken almost 50 percent" of the casualties1. Who is correct? How can we make sense of these numbers? Percent literally means “per 100,” or “parts per hundred.” When we write 40%, this is 40 equivalent to the fraction or the decimal 0.40. Notice that 80 out of 200 and 10 out of 100 80 10 40 25 are also 40%, since = = . 200 25 100 Example 1 243 people out of 400 state that they like dogs. What percent is this? 243 60.75 =0.6075 = . This is 60.75%. 400 100 Notice that the percent can be found from the equivalent decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right. Example 2 1 Write each as a percent: a) b) 0.02 c) 2.35 4 1 a) = 0.25 = 25% b) 0.02 = 2% c) 2.35 = 235% 4 1 http://www.factcheck.org/cheney_edwards_mangle_facts.html © David Lippman Creative Commons BY-SA 2 Percents If we have a part that is some percent of a whole, then part percent = , or equivalently, part= percent ⋅ whole whole To do the calculations, we write the percent as a decimal. Example 3 The sales tax in a town is 9.4%. How much tax will you pay on a $140 purchase? Here, $140 is the whole, and we want to find 9.4% of $140.

The son of a merchant, he ran his business with a simple motto: “Be particular. Never sell anything you would not want yourself.” This credo served Kroger well over the next 136 years as the supermarket business evolved into a variety of formats aimed at satisfying the ever-changing needs of shoppers. The Kroger Co. is a publicly held corpora- tion (NYSE: KR). Still based in Cincinnati, Kroger operates nearly 2,800 stores under two dozen banners, ranking as one of the world’s largest retailers.

The term "community college" is used to describe publicly funded two-year institutions. The name derives from the fact that community colleges primarily attract and accept students from the local community and are often supported by local tax revenue. Community colleges typically issue certificates, associate degrees, and high school diplomas. After graduating from a community college, some students transfer to a four-year college or university for two to three years to complete a bachelors degree. *To find out more about Washington state community and technical colleges, visit the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
