Million Dollar Thinking!

Question 1 - Printing Money

If you could print money using your home printer how much money could you print in one year?

Thinking
What ASSUMPTIONS do you need to make in order to figure out a sensible answer?

  • Printer ink = unlimited
  • Printer paper = unlimited
  • You can print 24-7 
  • One double page per minute
  • Six $100 notes per page
How do you figure this out?
Find out the number of minutes in a year then multiply your answer by the dollar value per printed page ($600)

Question 2 - The Bank Robbery



Could you carry a million dollars in your backpack?
How much paper would his be?
How heavy would this be?

Can you find out the weight of a million dollars in gold?

Which would be better to carry in your school bag?
Could you fit more gold or paper money?
Can you figure out how much $$$ you could carry?
