Sarah bought 3 notebooks at $2.50 each and a pen for $1.20. She paid with a $10 bill. How much change did she receive? | Answer: $3.30 Explanation: First, calculate the total cost of the notebooks: (3 \times 2.50 = 7.50). Then, add the cost of the pen: (7.50 + 1.20 = 8.70).

Subtract this from (\frac{3}{4}): (\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}). |
A rectangle has a length of 12 cm and a width of 8 cm. A square with a side length of 4 cm is cut out from the rectangle. What is the area of the remaining shape? | Answer: 80 cm² Explanation: Calculate the area of the rectangle: (12 \times 8 = 96) cm². Calculate the area of the square: (4 \times 4 = 16) cm². Subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle: (96 - 16 = 80) cm². |
The pattern of numbers is 3, 7, 11, 15, … What is the 12th number in the sequence? | Answer: 47 Explanation: The pattern increases by 4 each time.
