components known as sub problems? These are minor
task that must be achieved to solve the complete Take note
problem statement.
◦ Where these subproblems clearly stated or listed?
◦ Please put your table of contents inside your
introduction

Sample Introduction
Aunt Susie owns a clothing store in Trincity Mall and during the Easter vacation I had the
opportunity to assist her in the store. One of her best-selling items were gent’s shirts which I took a
keen interest in. She wanted to expand the rear outlet by opening another clothing store in long
Circular Mall. However, she needed to make a substantial profit, by selling the shirts over the Easter
vacation so she can take a loan to expand her Retail Outlets. Therefore, I offered to help her
calculate the following Sub-Problems:

a) Given that the Regular price of the shirt in Figure 13 was $365, what was a customer would
have paid for the shirt, if he got a discount of 30%?
b) when a shirt was sold at the discounted price my aunt made a profit of 45%. What was the
Cost of the shirt to my aunt?
c) What was the percentage profit made when a shirt was sold at the Regular price?
d) At the end of the sale, my aunt bought a set of 200 shirts for $60 each and sold Den to make
a profit of 52% on her buying price. What would have been the total profit she made on this
set of shirts?
e) My aunt wanted to borrow $2,500,000 from the bank at 9.5% per annum Simple Interest for
5 years. What would have been the Total amount of money she would have to repay the
bank?

What type of data is it? Is it discrete data of continuous data? (note:

Discrete data is counted,

Continuous data is measured)

Was your data grouped or ungrouped?

Analysis of
data
Analysis of Data
◦ Did you identify each sub problem?
◦ Did you write out the solution of each sub problem?
◦ Did you define and apply all the formulae correctly?
◦ Are your solutions laid out in a clear and logical format?
◦ Lastly, are your solutions correct?
Discussion of Findings
◦ If you were to change any assumption you made to do your calculation, how would your results differ?
◦ Can you think of any limitations, shortcomings, conditions or influences that you could not control.
◦ If you can think of these limitations, then this section is a great place to put them.
◦ Did you justify your sub problems?
◦ Did you state the results of your calculations to each of these sub problems accurately, clearly and in a
logical manner?
◦ Did you accurately link the results of your calculations to the data collected you collected earlier?
Conclusion
◦ In the same way your introduction gave the
reader an initial idea of your project, your
conclusion must give the reader a final idea of
your project.
◦ Did you summarize your sub-problems and their
respective results?
◦ Did you convey the importance of your problem
and how it could be applied to the real world?
◦ Are there other ways in which your project could
have been improved?
◦ Does is look excellent and noteworthy?
◦ Finally, are you proud of your completed project?
Did you include the references in your project?
