MATH SKILLS
Frank and his wife Mara have separate investment accounts. Frank’s account has $7,680 invested in stocks and $2,560 in bonds. Mara’s total investment in stocks and bonds is $4,000 split in the same proportion as her husband’s. Write and solve a proportion to calculate how much Mara has invested in bonds. [4 marks]

Proportions
A proportion is an equation with equivalent ratios on each side. When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, the proportion may be solved by using cross products to find the unknown number. Question marks or letters are frequently used in place of the unknown number.

Answer Hint:
Mara has $1,000 invested in bonds. To find the unknown value that represents the value of Mara’s bond investment, you need to know the proportion of Frank’s bond investment. Set up this equation:

Frank’s Total ÷ Frank’s Bonds = Mara’s Total ÷ Mara’s Bonds
$10,240 ÷ $2,560 = $4,000 ÷ ?
4 = $4,000 ÷ ?
$1,000 = ?

Answer 1

1. You are engaging in Interstate commerce by transporting goods across state lines. Intrastate trucking means that you drive your commercial motor vehicle only within a state's boundaries and that you do not fit any of the other descriptions of interstate commerce.

2. The government can regulate monopolies through: Price capping – limiting price increases. Regulation of mergers. Breaking up monopolies.

3. Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture.
