Reflection
What is one strategy you could use to stay within a budget when shopping?
Answer Key
-
Napkin.
-
Sandwich.
-
Granola bar, apple, paper plate, and napkin.
-
Napkin, apple, juice box, sandwich.
-
$2.25. Calculation: $3.50 − $1.25 = $2.25.
-
$5.00. Calculation: 4 × $1.25 = $5.00.
-
$5.10. Calculation: 6 × $0.85 = $5.10.
-
$3.25. Calculation: 5 × $0.60 = $3.00; 5 × $0.05 = $0.25; $3.00 + $0.25 = $3.25.
-
$10.00. Calculation: 2 × $3.50 = $7.00; 3 × $1.25 = $3.75; $7.00 + $3.75 = $10.75. Correction: The total is $10.75.
-
$6.00. Calculation: 4 × $3.50 = $14.00; $20.00 − $14.00 = $6.00.
-
c, a, d, b, respectively. The matches are: 4 napkins = $0.20; 2 apples = $1.20; 2 granola bars = $1.70; 3 juice boxes = $3.75.
-
$0.00. Calculation: 2 × $3.50 = $7.00, so the stated $5.00 payment is not enough. Maya is short by $2.00. Correct response: She cannot pay for the sandwiches with $5.00; she needs $2.00 more.
-
$4.65. Calculation: $3.50 + $0.60 + $1.25 = $5.35; $10.00 − $5.35 = $4.65.
-
Answers may vary if supported by a reasonable explanation. The 2 apples provide more food for $1.20 than a sandwich for $3.50. Four napkins cost $0.20, while one paper plate costs $0.15; the paper plate is cheaper per item, but the napkins may be the better choice if four are needed.
-
Answers depend on the student's completed table.
-
Subtract the student's total from $15.00.
-
Answers depend on the student's completed table. The order stays within budget if the total is $15.00 or less.
-
$14.00. Calculation: 7 × $2.00 = $14.00.
-
$5.25. Calculation: Money collected = $14.00; original cost = 7 × $1.25 = $8.75; profit = $14.00 − $8.75 = $5.25.
-
$10.60, so yes, Maya has enough money. Calculation: 3 × $3.50 = $10.50; 4 × $0.60 = $2.40; 5 × $0.85 = $4.25; total = $10.50 + $2.40 + $4.25 = $17.15. Correction: Maya does not have enough money; she is $2.15 over budget.
Optional Challenge: $14.75. Calculation: 3 × $1.25 = $3.75; 2 × $0.85 = $1.70; total cost = $5.45; $20.00 − $5.45 = $14.55. Correction: The change is $14.55.
