Duct Tape Designs - Young Entrepreneurs

My favorite project related to the subject of Math is the Young Entrepreneurs project. We got to work with a team, and had to "create" a company and product to sell to people. My team chose to create duct tape wallets, and chose the company name "Duct Tape Designs". For the project, we had to calculate the the cost of our product, the selling price, and the profit. We had to have a successful product, that made profit. This project seems easy, but it actually is hard. 

 

The hardest part was figuring out the price to make the wallets. We bought some rolls of duct tape, but we didn't use a whole roll when making one wallet. We had to calulate roughly how much we use, and from there we have to make our calculations. We also had to take into consideration the tax. We were taxed for the duct tape, and we completely forgot to integrate this into our calculations. When I remembered, our calculations were very off. We needed to changed everything. But, with help, I was able to fix it quickly. Overall, this project was insanely fun.
