Create your own properties of a solid word problem just like the 3 in
the packet and solve for it or give it to a partner to solve. For your word problem
choose a shape, properties of the shape, and what you are going to be solving for
(SA, Volume)
Shape you are going to be making a word problem of (circle one)
Rectangular prism
cube
cylinder
Word problem Written out with variables (Use examples in the packet for help)
What are you solving for? (example: volume and surface area)

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
