Week 19

Four skiers - Dennis, Colton, Corbin, and Tyson - want to practice today. Practice sessions are from 8 to 10:40 A.M. only. Skiers must start the course 10 minutes apart and no more than 3 skiers may be on the course at once. Each skier is allowed to stay on the course for only 30 minutes. Can all 4 skiers practice today and finish before 9:40 A.M.?

Week 18

The Thunderbirds Basketball team is having a celebration meal after winning the big game against their rivals, the Mustangs. They're not thinking about it now, but the cost is adding up! Look at the bill for each player. Figure out how much each will spend by totaling the bill and adding a 6% tax and 15% tip. (Figure the tip on the food total only, not the total after tax is added.) What is the total bill for the team?

Rose
Nachos $4.00
Ham Sandwich $4.70
Chocolate Shake $1.85

Eden K.
Egg Rolls $3.00
Rice Plate $3.50
Chow Mein $2.50
Iced Tea $1.00

Rylie

Salad $3.25
Breadsticks $2.50
Coke $1.00

Coach Coulter
Spaghetti $5.50
Garlic Bread $2.00
Salad $3.25
Iced Coffee $2.75

Be sure to show your work! Subtotal each member of the team and then find the tax, tip and grand total. Good luck!
