1. Joan and Jean want to buy 50
shares of Crazy Corporation stock. The price 
per share is 27 3/4
($`27.75). They can buy the stock without paying any commission (charge
for buying or selling). Joan is contributing $ 728.50 to the purchase
and Jean is paying the rest. How much is Jean paying for her share of
the stock?
2. Mrs. Plant gave her class a spelling
test with 40 words. Charles didn't study and he only got a score of
50%. Mrs. Plant was annoyed. She said, “Charles, I want you
to write each misspelled word correctly. And write each one of them
twenty-five times!”
. . Charles
was much better at math than at spelling. He immediately knew that he
would have to write __________ words altogether.
3. There are eight kids in the Super Math
Club. Their average age is nine. Everyone in the club is ten years old
except for Ryan. How old is Ryan?
4. Diane washed dishes for her neighbor.
She worked for 2 hours and earned $ 9.00. It took her 3 hours to wash
and wax her uncle's car and she got $ 20.00 for that. Then she baby-sat
for 5 hours and was paid $ 2.50 an hour. What was her average hourly
wage for all the work?
