1. "John is a mechanic. He makes $8.50 an hour, plus $3 extra for every oil change he performs. Last
week he worked 36 hours and performed 17 oil changes. How much money did he make?"
Answer: John earned a total of $357 by calculating his base wage ($8.50 x 36 = $306) and adding his
bonus for oil changes (17 x $3 = $51).
2. "Arnold is about to go on a 500-mile car trip. His mechanic recommends that he buy a special highway
engine oil that will save him 50 cents in gas for every 25 miles of the trip. This new oil, however, will cost
$20. Is it worthwhile for Arnold to buy the oil if he has a coupon for $4 dollars off the price?"
Answer: Although the oil would save Arnold $10 ($0.50 x ), it's not worth the cost since it would
still leave him $6 short of the coupon discount.
3. "A basketball player averaged 20 points a game over the course of six games. His scores in five of
those games were 23, 18, 16, 24, and 27. How many points did he score in the sixth game?"
Answer: To find the score in the sixth game, subtract the sum of the other scores from the total points
scored over six games (20 x 6 = 120): 120 - (23 + 18 + 16 + 24 + 27) = 12.
4. "A box of staples has a length of 6 cm, a width of 7 cm, and a volume of 378 cm cubed. What is the
height of the box?"
Answer: The height can be found by dividing the volume by the area of the base (6 cm x 7 cm): 378 ÷ (6 x
7) = 9 cm.
5. "A physical education class has three times as many girls as boys. During a class basketball game, the
girls average 18 points each, and the class as a whole averages 17 points per person. How many points
does each boy score on average?"
Answer: Since there are three times as many girls as boys, we can calculate that boys make up only 25%
of the class (1/4). To find their average score, we can set up an equation: (0.75 x 18) + (0.25 x X) = 17,
where X is the average score for boys. Solving for X gives X = 14.
