  1. The Invention of the“Driver’s Side Air Bag” How this invention can apply to math

  2. The History of the Invention • Inventor: Jess Cuevas • Date of patent of Invention: 1991 • Description: An air bag system includes: • Steering Wheel • A Container • An Inflator • An Air Bag

  3. The Inventions Societal Contribution • Driver’s Side Air Bag’s are now a standard piece of safety equipment used in millions of vehicles throughout the world. This invention has saved thousands upon thousands of lives and will continue to be one of the most important contributions to vehicle safety ever created.

  4. The Inventions application to Math • In order to measure the financial rewards to the inventor for this creation we can use a formula that includes percents. • By using this formula you will become business analysts today and will better understand how to use percents.

  5. Formula Definitions • UP = Unit Price (Net) • The cost to buy the airbag. Net means the revenue left after expenses. • QS = Quantity Sold • The amount of airbags sold to buyers. • TR = Total Revenue (Net) • The total amount of money gained from all the sales of airbags. • RP = Royalty Percent • The percentage of the total dollar revenue that the inventor will receive. • RR = Royalty Revenue • The dollar amount of what the inventor receives.

  6. UP x QS = TR RP x TR = RR UP = Unit Price (Net) QS = Quantity Sold TR = Total Revenue (Net) RP = Royalty Percent RR = Royalty Revenue Formula

  7. $73.00 = x/5600 Formula.xls 2.76% = p/x Formula.xls UP = $73.00 QS = 5600 TR = x (variable) RP = 2.76% RR = p (variable) UP x QS = TR RP x TR = RR Examples
