Assign the following problem and have students answer the questions.

A group of students from a jazz choir want to attend an international competition. They need to raise money to help pay for the expenses. Each student decided to investigate a scheme and present their findings at the next meeting of the group.

One student decided to sell granola bars. The predicted profit for every bar sold is $0.65. How much could this scheme realistically make for the trip?

Have students present their solutions orally with handouts that include a written plan along with tables and graphs to support their cases.
