Searching for an adult math anxiety course 2008-05-13
Helen pose la question :
Hello I am a professional female in my 30's with an continued fear of maths, particularly mental arithmetic. I've been able to keep my 'secret' hidden until now but I dread that one day I'll be found out. More importantly, it is preventing me for applying for promotion where I know maths will be required. I've tried many times on my own to overcome this but soon get frustrated. Therefore, I've been searching the internet to find short (up to one month) courses specifically adressed to alleviating my fears and hopefully teach me maths again in a way that I can remember and not get flustered. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything at least not for adults. I would be wiling to take a long vacation to attend this type of course, or tutoring, in any country. I'd much appreciate any pointers.
Helen

Working together 2008-05-12
frustrated pose la question :
Working alone, Colleen can paint a house in 2 hours less than James. working together, they can paint the house in 10 hours. How long would it take James to paint the house by himself? Collen: 1/x-2 times 10

James: 1/x times 10

10/x-2 + 10/x = 1

10x + 10x -20 = x(x-2)

0= x^2 -22x + 20 They have the answer as 21 hours. From my previous work as you see, how are they getting 21 hours?

The weight of a concrete column 2008-05-11
russell pose la question :
a cylindrical form is filled with a slow curing concrete. The base of the form is 10 ft in radius, and height is 25 ft. while the concrete hardens, gravity causes the density to vary from a density of 90 lbs/ft^3 at the bottom to a density of 50 lb/ft^3 at the top. Assume that the density varies linearly from the top to the bottom, and compute the total weight of the resulting concrete column

Selling price 2008-05-10
Roxane pose la question :
I'm trying to figure out the formula for the following, I have a product that I want to receive a certain profit margin, but with this product I also have to pay a percentage of commission to someone. I need to know how to calculate my new selling price taking into account the markup percentage, but I don't want my gross margin to be lowered. I have calculated the markup percentage to get my new selling price with the commission, but it lowers my profit margin once I pay the commission and I don't want it to do that.
