Q #1: Soft Drinks Orange Two 24-packs for $20; one 24-pack for $15 Root Beer One 24-pack for $18 Cream Soda One 12-pack for $10 A consumer needs to purchase at least 60 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?
A. 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda
B. 3 packs of Orange
C. 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda
D. 5 packs of cream Soda
Answer Explanation
To find the cheapest option, we find the amount the consume will spend for each option given.:
2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $20 + $10 = $30
3 Packs of Orange will cost $20+$15=$35
2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($18)+$10= $46
5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($10)=$50

Q #2: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are three as many quarters as pennies, five times as many as nickels as pennies, and two times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than nickels?
A. 4 times as many
B. 5 times as many
C. 2 times as many
D. 10 times as many
Answer Explanation
In this question, we need to find the ratio of dimes to quarters.
If we let x be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 3x
Number of nickels in the bottle = 5x
Number of dimes in the bottle =2(5x)=10x
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 2 times as many dimes as nickels in the box.
