 March18- Problem from amanda penney  The Adams family was going to buy a car for $5800. The car dealer offered the Adams family two options for buying the car. They could pay the full amount in cash, or they could pay $1000.00 down and $230.00 a month for 24 months on the installment plan. How much more would they pay for the car on the installment plan? GOOD JOB:) :) Kylie’s Answer- The Adam’s family would have to pay $720.00 more than paying it fully. $6520.00 $5800: Paying fully -$__5800.00__ $1000.00 + $5520.00 = $6520.00 $720.00

Abby’s Question: // I wanted ice cream for $3.52, but so did my sister and I only have 7 dollars. One of the signs said that you could get a deal if you bought 3 ice creams, it was only 7 dollars, so would I save more money if I bought 3 ice creams and got a deal or if I just bought 2 ice creams and paid full price ? // _ __Week 5 April 13 - 17, 2009 (Easter holiday, April 13, 2009) Catch up week.
