Buying Books

Darren bought 7 books for $8.00 each. He used his $5.00 discount coupon. After the coupon the tax came to $3.57. Darren's mother paid for half of the final cost. How much did Darren pay?

No Takers?

I was disappointed that no one tried the "Speeding Ticket" problem. I am going to leave it up for one more week. I will give a free-homework pass to any student that gets it correct and explains HOW.

Good Luck!

Speeding Ticket

The fine for a speeding ticket is $45.45 + M. (M = the # of miles you were over the speed limit.)

1. Mr. Tanner was stopped for going 38mph in a 25mph school zone. How much as his ticket?

2. Mrs. Bird was fined $52.45 for speeding in a school zone. How fast was she going?
