Term 2: Sheet 3

.Predict:My question is #21. The problem was to find the entertainer/group with the earnings closest to 20 millon dollars. I needed to clarify what was the highest earner and the lowest earner before I started!

.Clarify/BIG question: I  thought the BIG question was to see who had the earnings close to $20 million which proved to help me later in the problem! Before I went on and clarified the big question to see if I needed to change it to help me, but I needed no ajustments.

Mathimaticans toolbox: The strategy from the mathimaticans tollbox was guess, check and imporve which really helped me in the future to come.

Solve: I started with the highest earner (AC/DC) which was well above $20 million. Next I went to  the wiggles who were still over budget, so I went back to the side chart which clarified that Russel Crowe was over budget so with only one person left it had to be..Keith Urban.

.Summary: In conclusion, I was able to use my strategy of guessing, checking and improving and figuring out the  BIG question and got the answer I was looking for. I had a little help from my dad, but I am willing to do the problem again!
