Sara has a gift card for Six Town's Bakery and bought the following items.

Question

6 muffins for $0.45 each
2 boxes of cookies for $2.70 each
1 coffee cake for $3.72
Sara estimates she has $8.00 left on her gift card. What assumption did Sara use to make her estimate?
A.
The gift card started with $7.00.

B.
The gift card started with $12.00.

C.
The gift card started with $15.00.

D.
The gift card started with $20.00.

Answer 1

To determine which assumption Sara made about the starting balance on her gift card, we first need to calculate the total amount she spent at the bakery.

1. Calculate the total cost of the muffins:

   • 6 muffins at $0.45 each: \[ 6 \times 0.45 = 2.70 \]

2. Calculate the total cost of the cookies:

   • 2 boxes of cookies at $2.70 each: \[ 2 \times 2.70 = 5.40 \]

3. The cost of the coffee cake is:

   • $3.72

Next, we add these amounts together to find the total amount spent:

\[ 2.70 + 5.40 + 3.72 = 11.82 \]

Now, since Sara estimates she has $8.00 left on her gift card, we can determine the total amount on the gift card before she made her purchases by adding the amount spent to the amount left:

\[ 11.82 + 8.00 = 19.82 \]

This indicates that the gift card started with an amount that should cover the total spending and the remaining balance. Among the possible options (A, B, C, D), the only assumption that would satisfy this requirement is a starting amount of $20.00 (since it is common to round to whole dollar amounts when dealing with gift cards and cash).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. The gift card started with $20.00.

Answer 2

Multiple Choice Question

The table shows the items Stevie bought from a garage sale and their prices.
What is the mean price of the items Stevie bought?
A.
36
B.
5
C.
21
D.
6

Answer 3

To find the mean price of the items Stevie bought, we need to know both the total cost of the items and the number of items purchased. Since the table with the prices and quantities wasn't provided, I can't calculate it directly. However, I can outline the steps you would take to find the mean.

Here’s how you can calculate the mean price:

1. Add up the prices of all the items to find the total cost.
2. Count the number of items he bought.
3. Divide the total cost by the number of items to find the mean.

The formula for calculating the mean is: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Items}} \]

If you have the total cost and the number of items, plug those numbers into the formula to determine the mean price.

If you can provide the specific prices from the table, I'd be able to compute the mean for you!
