ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND READING OVER YOUR PETITION.........I HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE PROJECT DEADLINE UNTIL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2010!!! (Pass this news along to everybody...post it as your status on Facebook or something, lol)


Also, I have listed a few helpful hints...

Here are the steps to creating your equations for the project:
Step #1: Complete Yearly Budget (this will be the same for both jobs)
Step #2: Gather Job #1 Info
-How much do you make an hour?
-How many hours do you work per week?
-Example: $7.50 per hour *30 hours per week = $225 per week
Step #3: How much do you make per year (yearly salary)
-Example: $225 * 50 weeks = $11,250 per year
-For job #2, these steps will already be done for you because you know the yearly salary from your research
Step #4: Create Equation
Y=mx+b
M=yearly salary-yearly budget
B= debt/savings (debt will be a negative amount, savings will be a positive amount)
-Example: yearly budget = $60,360
M= $11,250 - $60,360 = -$49,110
Final Equation: y = -49,110x + 7,000

Here are the steps for adding the graphs to your PowerPoint:
Step #1: Create a new slide
Step #2: Change the layout to “Content with Caption”
Step #3: Click on the icon for “Insert Chart”
Step #4: Choose the Line Graphs “Line with Markers” (an Excel spreadsheet will pop up)
Step #5: Clear all default information
Step #6: Column A will be “x (years worked)”; Column B will be “y (total $ earned)”
Step #7: Choose x-values 0, 1, 2, 3,… & complete input-output table to find y-values (plug x value into equation to get y-value); the graph will create itself
Step #8: Copy and Paste table into slide
Step #9: Repeat Steps for Job #2 and comparison of the 2 graphs
Step #10: When will you be able to pay off the house?
-Set equation equal to the price of the house; solve for x. This will tell you how many years it will take until you have paid off your house based on your yearly salary.

*If you get stuck, refer to the sample PowerPoint*

You can also do your graphs by hand in Paint (let me know if you need specific steps for that)
