Please find included 7 problems that are used in our first year mathematics course for business and economics students at Thompson Rivers University. The target audience in this case consists of students who are very weak with mathematics, not confident with technology, and are seeing WeBWorK for the first time. Because of this I have taken care to express the problems very clearly and make them as user-friendly as possible. Problem parameters are randomized in such a way to ensure that no rounding is required for the answers. I believe they would make nice additions to the Open Problem Library and would be grateful to have them considered.
Best,
Kyle Schlitt
