Answer for Sheet # 1 (End of Year Math)
1)128 students x 2 drinks/student = 256 drinks
Pizza = (1/4) x 128 = 32 pizzas
2) Drinks = 128 students x 2 cans/student $0.55 = $140.80
Teachers = $0.55 x 2 can x 5 = $5.50
Total = $146.30
3) 5 x (1/4) = 1 and quarter pizza = order 2 pizzas
4) $5 x (32 pizzas for students + 2 pizzas for teachers) = $170 (they will need)
5) $170 for pizza + $146.30 for drinks = $316.30
6) $316.30 - $150.00 = $166.30
7) Pepperoni = (1/2) x 128 = 64 students
Pepperoni = (1/4) x 128 = 32 students
Cheese = 32 (Students)
8) It would cost $9.48 to buy 150 plates. It is cheaper to buy 150 plates as you only need 128 plates.
9) 7 parents
