Have you ever heard of Chamberlain's formula, which claims to be a model that tells you how many years you should drive your present
car before you buy a new one? If y is this number of years, then Chamberlain's formula reads
GMC
(G - M)DP
where G is the new car's gas mileage, M is your present car's gas mileage, C is the cost in dollars of the new car, D is the number of
miles you drive in a year, and P is the dollar price of gasoline per gallon.
y =
Suppose the new car's gas mileage is 36 mi/gal, the old car's gas mileage is 16 mi/gal, the price of the new car is $23,000, you drive
10,000 mi/year, and the cost of gasoline is $4.00/gal. How many years should your old car have been driven to justify buying the new
one?

Prices of diamonds are determined by what is known as the 4 Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. The prices of diamonds go up as the carat weight increases, but the increase is not smooth. For example, the difference between the size of a 0.99-carat diamond and a 1-carat diamond is undetectable to the naked human eye, but the price of a 1-carat diamond tends to be much higher than the price of a 0.99 diamond. In this question, we use two random samples of diamonds, 0.99 carats and 1 carat, each sample of size 23, and compare the average prices of the diamonds. In order to be able to compare equivalent units, we first divide the price for each diamond by 100 times its weight in carats. That is, for a 0.99-carat diamond, we divide the price by 99. For a 1 carat diamond, we divide the price by 100. The distributions and some sample statistics are shown below

- Use the problem situation below to answer Part A, Part B, and Part C. When using a lever (like the one shown below), the weight of an item varies inversely with the item's distance from the center of the lever. This is a lever. Part A: Write a formula to describe the situation, using the variables w for the weight of the item and d for the distance of the item from the center of the lever. Part B: A box that weighs 40 lb. is placed 17 in. from the center. Find the value of k, and write the explicit formula using the same variables from Part A.
