The Hunger Games

District 12 Members: _____________________________________

Date of Hunger Games: _______________________
Objective: You have exactly $100 to buy as many supplies as you can to prepare for the Hunger Games.
You must first calculate the final price of the items (take off the discount(s) and then add
13% HST tax). To win, you must buy items so that your total comes closest to $100 (without
going over). You may buy multiples of any item and in any combination. Your success in the
Hunger Games depends on your ability to calculate final prices. Good luck, and may the
odds be ever in your favour.
