Solutions of Homework:
1. 7et s denote the Petronas Towers !y Tower 1 and Tower 2. Then we ha+e,
Tower 1
/m!er of high speed lifts 29
/m!er of normal lifts 18
6apacity of each high speed lift 26
6apacity of each normal lift 35
Tower 2
/m!er of high speed lifts 29
/m!er of normal lifts 18
6apacity of each high speed lift 26
6apacity of each normal lift 35
So5 for Tower 15 29 high speed lifts will carry 929 . 26: people and 18 normal lifts will carry 918 . 35:
people. Since the lifts of Tower 1 carry half of their capacity 9for maintenance:5 the total nm!er of
people carried !y the lifts of Tower 1 will !e,
29 . 26 ; 2 -18 . 35 ; 2
/ow5 for Tower 25 29 high speed lifts will carry 9 29 . 26: people and 18 normal lifts will carry 918 .
35: people. So the total nm!er of people carried !y the lifts of Tower 2 will !e, 29 . 26-18 . 35
The total capacity of !oth lifts will then !e, 29 . 26 ; 2 -18 . 35 ; 2 - 29 . 26 - 18 . 35
<f we go !ac% to or e#pression0
we see that the first !o# will !e the mltiplication operation and the second !o# will !e the addition
operation. 7et s now e+alate0 29 . 26 ; 2 -18 . 35 ; 2 - 29 . 26 - 18 . 35
Since di+ision and mltiplication ha+e the same priority5 we will apply the =left-to-right= rle.
29 . 26 > )51 and then
Since mltiplication mst !e performed !efore addition5 we will then need to calclate 18 . 35 ; 2.
/ow 18 . 35 > 63& so
4e will now add 3)) with 3155 which ma%es 692. Since mltiplication has a priority o+er addition5 we
will ha+e 29 . 26 > )51 and then add this to
18 . 35 > 63&5 which ma%es 1381. "inally5 we will add 1381 to 692 to o!tain the final soltion. Ths5
the capacity of the lifts of !oth towers is
1381 - 692 > 2&)6.
2. $ !oo%seller has sold 18& mathematics !oo%s for '( 3 profit each and 2)& science !oo%s for '(
5 profit each. *owe+er the cost prices and e#penses of these !oo%s are '( 156& totally. "ind his
profit !y completing and calclating the e#pression.
?ach mathematics !oo% is sold for '( 3 profit5 so 18& mathematics !oo%s will !e sold for '( 918& .
3: . Similarly5 since each science !oo% is sold for '( 5 5 so 2)& science !oo%s will !e sold for '(
92)& . 5: . @t the cost prices and the e#penses of these !oo%s are '( 156&. Ths his total profit
will !e
18& . 3 - 2)& . 5 A 156&.
7et s chec% the e#pression0
18& . 3 - 2)& . 5 A 156& > 33&
The total profit of the !oo%seller is '( 33&.
3. 'ohan ta%es 3 !o#es of colored pencils and each !o# costs '( 5 . Ths5 3 !o#es will cost '(
93 . 5: .
/r ta%es 1 sweets. The sweets cost '( 21 per do2en. 4e %now that a do2en sweets is eBal to 12
sweets 5 so the price per sweet will !e '( 921 ; 12: . Then5 1 sweets will cost '( 91 . 21 ; 12: .
The father will pay !oth for 'ohan and /r5 so he will pay
'( 93 . 5 - 1 . 21 ; 12: in total. 7et s now e+alate how mch this ma%es. Since mltiplication has
a priority o+er addiditon5 we will first find 93 . 5:5 which ma%es 15. Then we will apply the =left-to-
right= rle to compte 91 . 21 ; 12:. /ow5 1 . 21 > 96 and 96 ; 12 > 8 ."inally5 we will add 15 to 85
which ma%es '( 23. This is the amont that the father will pay.
4. 4e ha+e0
6onsider the first !o#. 'egardless of the operation in the first !o#5 we mst first do the di+ision
81 ; 39!ecase of the order of operations and left-to-right rles:. 5 so we ha+e0
Similarly5 regardless of the operation in the second !o#5 we mst find
12 # 3. 12 . 3 > 365 so we ha+e0
"rom here5 yo can proceed in two ways,
a) Co can either se trial and error to find the operations in the !o#es.
b) Dr yo can notice that the last operation we apply will always !e s!traction 9!ecase of the
order of operations and the left-to right rle:. So0
will !e eBal to 65 more than A2&5 which is 15. Ths5
<f we pt the mltiplication operation in !oth !o#es5 we get 2) . ) A 36 . 1. /ow5 2) . ) > 189 and
36 . 1 > 111 and 189 A 111 > 15. So the operation in !oth !o#es is mltiplication.
5. 4e ha+e
4e will follow the left-to-right rle for 11& . 9A2: ; 9-11:.
/ow5 11& . 9A2: > A28& and
So5 or eBation is redced to

and 2&& A 65 > 135. So5 the operation in !oth the first and the second !o# is s!traction.

Homework 1
Read the followin and then sol!e the "roblem i!en below:
<t is the year 2153. $ research scientist wor%ing on a distant planet has disco+ered some special
new elements that he named $5 @5 6 and E.
The temperatres of $5 @5 65 E are always A3F65 A2F65 2F6 and 3F6 respecti+ely. <f the scientist
mi#es these chemicals appropriately5 each element has the a!ility to raise or lower the
temperatre of the mi#tre with its own temperatre.
"or e+ery part of the chemical added5 the temperatre of the mi#tre changes according to the
nm!er of parts added. "or e#ample5 if the crrent temperatre of the mi#tre is 1&F6 and if we
add 1 part of 6 matter to it5 and then the temperatre of the mi#tre !ecomes 12F6.
#roblem:
4hen the temperatre of the mi#tre is A16F60 2 parts of $5 8 parts of @ and 3 parts of 6 are
added to the mi#tre0 and 1 pieces of E are remo+ed from the mi#tre. $fter these operations5
how many parts of chemical 6 mst !e added to the mi#tre to ma%e the temperatre A12F63
Print 7esson 1 - *omewor% 1
Solution of the "roblem:
The temperatre of the mi#tre after the 1 parts of E is remo+ed,
A16 - 2 . 9A3: - 8 . 9A2: - 3 # 2 A 1 . 3 > A11 G6
The nm!er of parts of 6 that mst !e added,
A11 - 2 > A12G6. So we need only one part of 6.
