Simultaneous equations 2000-03-11
From Laura Molck:
My name is Laura Molck and I am in Year 11 in Australia. Please help me with the following. I know that they are all simultaneous equations which I can do but I have trouble with the formulae to work the equations. Can you please help!!

1. A tent manufacturer produces 2 models, Outback and Bushwalker. From earlier sales records it is known that 20% more of the Outback model is sold than the Bushwalker. A profit of $200 is made on each Outback sold, but $350 is made on each Bushwalker. If during the next year a profit of $177,000 is planned how many of each model must be sold?

Scheduling an academic competition 2012-06-12
From Mike:
I need to schedule 18 high school teams to play each other in a "Jeopardy!"-like academic competition. Teams compete against each other 6 at a time (simultaneously) in 3 different rooms. What will the minimum amount of matches (I believe 6 ?) we would have to play to ensure that each team plays every other team exactly twice?

And more importantly: what would that schedule look like?

The best I've come up with is having most teams playing twice, but with 2 pairs of teams having to play either only once or sometimes 3 times.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give! :-)

Mike
