Grocery Item Price per Unit Number of Units Needed Total Amount Apples $0.99 per pound 5 x Pie crust $2.49 per package 2 $4.98 Butter $3.29 for 2 sticks 2 $6.58
Use the table to solve. If Luke needed to buy 2 more sticks of butter, for a total of 6 sticks of butter, how much money would he need to bring to the store to buy all the items? Round to the nearest dollar.
| Grocery Item | Price per Unit | Number of Units Needed | Total Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apples | $0.99 per pound | 5 | x |
| Pie crust | $2.49 per package | 2 | $4.98 |

Use the table to solve. If Luke needed to buy 2 more sticks of butter, for a total of 6 sticks of butter, how much money would he need to bring to the store to buy all the items? Round to the nearest dollar.
To buy all the items listed, he will need the sum of all the costs.
For apples, the cost is $0.99 per pound and he needs 5 pounds.
The apples will cost $4.95.
The total amount for the pie crusts is $4.98 in the table.
For butter, we need to find the cost of 6 sticks. In the table, 2 sticks of butter cost $3.29. Six sticks will cost three times as much.
The butter will cost $9.87.
Now, we need to add all the costs together.
When you add these items up, you get $19.80. Then, round to the nearest whole dollar. We need to round up, giving us $20.
Luke will need to bring $20 to buy all the items he needs for the apple pies.

On 9 tests, Jeff scores 97, 91, 100, 85, 95, 87, 90, 98, and 84. What is the median of his test scores?
On 9 tests, Jeff scores 97, 91, 100, 85, 95, 87, 90, 98, and 84. What is the median of his test scores?
The median is the number that is in the middle when all of the elements are arranged in order from low to high:
84 85 87 90 91 95 97 98 100
(Note: remember that if there are an even number of elements, you average the two that are in the middle).

Use the following table to answer the question.
Which student has the most books?
When looking at the following table
We can see the first column is a list of students. The second column is a list of numbers of books. So, we can see the names of each student. Next to each name, is a number. This number is the number of books that student has.
So, if we are trying to find the student with the most books, we will first locate the largest number. That number is 5. Now, we will see which name is written next to that number. We see that it is Emma.
Therefore, Emma has the most books.
