GENERAL MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE TASK

You are working in the XYZ Nuts and Bolts Company. Due to the pandemic, your
manager decided to create your own box instead of buying to lessen the production cost
on boxes. As s designer, you are tasked to make a design of a box and come up with
recommendations afterward. Your output will be evaluated according to the following
criteria: Computations, Uses of Concepts of Functions, and Recommendations.
A. What is the recommended measurement of the width to obtain the
minimum cost per box?
Ordered Pairs → (0.215, 8.466)
w= 0.22m
B. What is the recommended measurement of the height to obtain the
minimum cost per box?
0.02
h(w)=
w2
0.02
h(w)=
(0.215)2
800
h(w)= 1849 or 0.43

h= 0.43m
C. What is the minimum cost per box?
Ordered Pairs → (0.215, 8.466)
Minimum cost per box= Php 8.27

Formula for the Volume of the box:

V= (Length)(Width)(Height) or V= (L)(W)(H)

Formula for the Area of the four (4) sides of the box:

Asides = 4 (w)(h)

Asides = 4wh
Formula for the Area of the Double Tops and Bases of the box:

AT&B = 4 (w)(l)

AT&B = 4wl
Formula for the Area of the Cardboard:

ATotal = Asides + AT&B

ATotal = 4wh + 4wl

Formula of the cost in terms of the Area of the Cardboard:

Cost(AT) = 15.20 ( AT)

Cost(AT) = 15.20 (4wh + 4wl)
Formula for the Height in terms of the Area of the Width:

0.02
h(w)=

Formula of the Cost in terms of the Area of the Width:

Function of Cost(w)

We let c(w) be the y and let w & l be the x:

COST = Php. 8.47
Being wise is very crucial, especially nowadays where we are in the middle of a pandemic, and
saving is one of the smartest things we can do to apply the principle of being wise in such a situation,
like coming up with a decision on something, especially when money is involved. From this, as part of
the XYZ Nuts and Bolts Company, I was tasked with deciding to create my own box instead of buying one
to lower the production cost of boxes. As a designer for the company, I could say and recommend that if
they buy and use the boxes that I made or created, they can save Php. 1.53 pesos. For the minimum cost
of my box is PHP. 8.47 and we know that one box on the market costs PHP 10.00, and if the box that I
made is used, I could really say that they got a good decision in buying it. Since the measurement of it is
also recommendable, since the size or measurements are almost too big for such a box, since my box
has a measurement of height that is 0.43 and a width of 0.22m. So with this, I can conclude that if you
buy and use my designed box, you will surely not regret buying it. Also, keep in mind that a single peso is
worth a thousand to keep and save.
