1) 11 6a = 2(3a + 5.5)

2) 15d 19.4 + 22d = 4.4

3) 8a 3(2a + 5) = 13

11) Gage and Keaton are paperclip collectors (like tax collectors, only the collect paperclips from
unwitting civilians). Along their route, they collect 14 paperclips from every nerd's home they visit,
and 10 paperclips from every average person's home they visit. They visit a total of 100 homes.
Write an equation for the number of paperclips, p, they collect when they visit n nerds' homes.

If they collect a total of 1148 paperclips, how many nerd's homes do they visit? Use the equation
you wrote in the first part to solve!

What do the nerds say when Gage and Keaton take their paperclips?

For Numbers 12) through 15), write the equation so that y is a function of x.
12) 8x + y = 14

13) 15 6y = 9x

14) 4x + 2y = 16 2x

15) 6y x = 2y + 3x 11

16) Levi makes dessert pizza. For every Spicy Apple String Cheese dessert pizza he makes, he needs 2
tablespoons of sugar. For every Marshmallow Pineapple Skittles Deluxe dessert pizza he makes,
he needs 5 tablespoons of sugar. He makes enough pizzas to use 38 tablespoons of sugar.
The equation for the number of tablespoons of sugar Levi uses (he uses 38 tablespoons) based
on the number of Spicy Apple String Cheese dessert pizzas and the number of Marshmallow
Pineapple Skittle Deluxe dessert pizzas he makes is:
2A + 5M = 38
Explain how this equation represents the story.

Now solve the formula 2A + 5M = 38 for A.

Give 3 possibilities for the number of Spicy Apple String Cheese dessert pizzas and the number of
Marshmallow Pineapple Skittle Deluxe dessert pizzas he makes in order to use 38 tablespoons of
sugar. For instance, if Levi made 4 Spicy Apple String Cheese dessert pizzas and 2 Marshmallow
Pineapple Skittle Deluxe dessert pizzas, he would have used 38 tablespoons of sugar.

For Numbers 17) through 20), answer the percent question.

17) What number is 19% of 300?

18) 45 is what percent of 150?

19) 16 is 350% of what number?

20) 9.1% of what number is 27?

21) Hannah buys comfy socks for $4.99 a pair, but then marks them up 25% and sells them to her
friends in order to make a profit. How much does she sell them to her friends for?

22) After several successful hours of minecraft, Abigail Wells has amassed 29 lbs of Gold Pressed
Latinum. After two more days of playing non-stop, Abigail uses much of her Latinum, and it is
depleted by 65%. How much does she have left?

23) Connect the dots in a creative way!
