The Scenario: Your manager has asked you to help plan your
company's participation at a local trade show. You have $3000 to
spend on the booth space and product brochures. Use what you
know about solving inequalities to prepare a proposal that meets the
budget.
The Project: Use the information provided in the Performance Task
to learn more about the costs of renting a booth space and printing
product brochures. See what you can discover about each of these
tasks before you write your proposal showing your manager how
you've prepared for the tradeshow and stayed within budget.
The questions below will help you gather information and get your tradeshow planning off on
the right track. As you proceed through the questions, check in with your teacher to discuss any
ideas, potential problems, or questions you may have about the project.
Choosing a Booth Location: Your manager is sending two people to
work at the conference. She wants a booth that will give your company
good visibility for no more than 35% of the total budget ($3000). The
conference coordinator just told you there are only five booths left.
