Questions+for+Wendy

Hi Wendy these are questions we have for you. hi mum its me laura and wenwen, kayla and daniella. we figured out your problem. from the mathematicans tool shed we chose try all possibilities, we used addition. this is how we did it.

face painters: $26+$26=$52 75c+75c=$1.50 $450+$282=$732 $732+$107=$839 $52+$52=$104 $1.50+$1.50=$3.00 0+$2=$2 $7+$2=$9 $104+$3.00=$107 $52+$1.50=$53.50 $50+$80=$130 $30+0=$30 singers: $75+$75=$150 $150+$150+$150=$450 $400+$200=$600 $700+$100=$800 magicians: $35+$35=$70 $35+$35=$70 $600+$130=$730 $800+$30 = $830 $35+$35=$70 $35+$35+=$70 $730+$2.00=$732 $830+9 = $839 $70+$70=$140 $70+$70=$140 $140+$140=$280 50c+50c+50c+50c=$2.00 So it will cost you $839 to put on the event $280+$2.00=$282 so you will have $1000 - $839 $1000-$800 = $200 Singers $450 - 3x$150 each $200 - $30 = $170 Magicians $284 - 2x$142 $170 - $9 = $161 change Face Painters - $107 - 2x$53.50

Hi you clever mathematicians in 4AP

It's Wendy here. Thanks for helping me with this problem. I have checked your calculations and I think you are right. Except that I have 2 face painters who need to be paid $107 each, so $107 x 2 = $214

So if the singers cost $450 and the magicians cost $284 and the face painters cost $107 then the total cost for the performers is $948.

That's great news because with my $1,000 budget I will be able to pay the performers $948 and still have $52 left over.

Thanks girls!!
