Hi,   Please remember to go on Khan Academy for at least 10 minutes a day.  You can choose what math challenges you do.  Remember to add me as your coach.  I will be looking to see what you have been covering.  Please challenge yourself rather than choosing easy levels.  If you don't understand how to do a problem, you need to look at the hint icon and then if you still don't understand, look up a video on that topic.  If you are still stuck, ask your parents or message me.

Wearable arts materials

Wearable arts materials

Some resources needed to be purchased for making wearable arts. Mrs McDonald wanted to give each class approximately 100 glue sticks each. She needed to decide what would be the best value for money when buying hot glue sticks. She could buy 5kg (260 sticks) for $112.17 plus GST, 1kg (52 sticks) for $24.69 plus GST or 10 glue sticks for $5.99 plus GST. She also wanted to give each class 5 rolls of masking tape. The cost of a roll of tape was $3.50 plus GST. Each class also required 400ml of spray paint in each of the colours silver, gold, black, red and blue. She could buy a 250ml of silver or gold paint for $8.25 plus GST and a 400ml can of black, red or blue paint for 14.95 plus GST. Work out an order for the Kauri syndicate based on what is needed and what is the best value for money and calculate how much the total order will cost.
