You make custom striped

scarves. There are 5 different

yarn colors:
R=red, B=blue, G= green,
Y=yellow and O=orange. Design
a scarf using at least three
colors.
Create between 7 and
12 stripes

Write the letter (R, B, G,
Y, or O) to represent each
color in your design.

































1) The relationship between all of the
stripes to one type of yarn color used.



3) The relationship between one type of
yarn color stripes and another type of
yarn color stripes.

2) The relationship between one type of
yarn used and all the types of yarn used



4) The relationship between red yarn
strips to non-green stripes.

Write 4 ratios that can be used to
mathematically describe the scarf
you designed.

Part A
The cost to make each stripe is shown below.
Red Yarn


$6.75 for a ball of yarn that makes 15 red stripes
Blue Yarn


$8.00 for a ball of yarn that makes 25 blue stripes
Green Yarn



$12.00 for a ball of yarn that makes 25 green stripes
Yellow Yarn


$5.50 for a ball of yarn that makes 20 yellow stripes
Orange Yarn


$ 4.35 for a ball of yarn that makes 26 orange stripes

You have been given one ball of yarn of each type of color that
you have selected. Based on your design, how many complete
scarves can you make before you run out of one type of yarn?
Explain your answer using diagrams, mathematical expressions,
and/or words.









PART B
Calculating the Costs

1.) The cost of putting your label on the scarf is $0.35. Using the
information from Part A, determine the cost to create one of the
scarves you designed. Explain your answer using diagrams,
mathematical expressions, and/or words.









2.) In Part A, you determined the number of complete scarves
you could make before running out of one type of yarn.
Determine the cost to create this number of scarves. Explain your
answer using diagrams, mathematical expressions, and/or words.









Part C


Longer Scarves

The styles are changing and your customers want longer scarves.

The cost of a larger label for a larger scarf is $0.40.
Your scarf is 2 feet long.

1.) Determine the cost to create a 6 foot long scarf that
contains the same ratios of stripes as your shorter scarf
contains. Explain your answer using diagrams,
mathematical expressions, and/or words.










2.) How many of each type of yarn colored stripes will be
needed to create a 6 foot scarf? Explain your answer using
diagrams, pictures, mathematical expressions, and/or
words.




Part D
Predicting Profits


You decide that you will set the price for each short scarf and
long scarf so that you will make a profit that is 70% of the cost to
make each scarf.

1.) Determine the price at which your short scarf and long
scarf will be sold. Explain your answer using diagrams,
pictures, mathematical expressions, and/or words.








2.) You would also like to offer discounted prices for customers
who buy sets of 3 short scarves. When customers buy sets
of 3 short scarves, you will make a profit that is 60% of the
cost to make each short scarf. Determine the price at which
a set of 3 short scarves will be sold. Explain your answer
using diagrams, pictures, mathematical expressions, and/or
words.





3.) The list below shows the scarves that were sold at your
store.

8 sets of 3 short scarves
5 long scarves
15 individual short scarves

Determine the total profit you made from selling these scarves.
Explain your answer using diagrams, mathematical expressions,
and/or words.
