Rachel estimates that each person at the party will drink 2.25 cups of punch and she therefore needs 77 cups of punch.
About how many gallons of punch does Rachael need to buy? How many people does Rachel estimate will drink the punch? Last year there were 300 students in the seventh-grade class. This year the number of students is 110% of last year's class?
1. How many students are in this year's class? Explain using WORDS AND AN EQUATION!!! 2. Next year, the school expects the number of seventh-grade students to be 90% of this year's class? Will next year's class be greater or less than 300? Explain suing WORDS and an EQUATION!! Use estimation and number sense to determine if each shopper is a 'smart shopper'. Explain.
1. At Cycle City, a bike marked $89 has a $10 instant rebate. At Bargain Bikes, the same bike is marked $89 with an additional 10% discount. Tatum decides to buy the bike at Cycle City to save money. Is he a smart shopper? Explain why using numbers and words. 2. Cindy argued that an item on sale at 30% off plus an additional 20% off is a better deal than 20% off plus an additional 30% off since the larger percent would be subtracted first. (To figure this out, you need to work out the problem by using friendly numbers. For example, say the item cost $12 to start with. ) Number sense will help you generalize and tell me if Cindy is a good shopper. Use numbers and words to explain. Use the picture below or the enlarged image to answer these questions.  Answer questions where the solutions can only be provided by making logical inferences, and explain how they got their answers. Inference means that the answer may not be stated directly in the test. Today do questions # 1-5 Samantha spent $15.88 at a department store. She spent half as much at the bookstore as she did at the department store. She then spent $12.64 at a restaurant. She now has $33.85 left in her purse. How much money did she have to begin with?
On Wednesday, we figured out about how much each vine would cost. Now we need to figure out a reasonable price in order to maximize profit. In order for change to be easy, our price needs to be a multiple of 5. Choose two reasonable prices per vine. Figure out the PROFIT for each tub. (Remember we figured the price per vine already). I am interested in how you will figure out profit! Here is some information that you should use: Black vines-215, Red vines-180, Grape vines-310.
