Analyze each scenario and list the options available to the people involved. Use exact numbers of hours/dollars for each option.

1. Maria received $15 from her aunt for her birthday and decided to go to the mall to look over her choices. After visiting several stores, she has decided she could purchase a CD of her favorite band ($10), candy from the jellybean store ($3), new pens and markers ($5), or some food from the food court ($7). What are Maria’s options?

2. Doug planned to go skateboarding this afternoon with his friend Rick at 1:00 PM. He has to be home to help his mother prepare dinner at 5:00 PM. An hour ago, he was asked to mow the neighbor's lawn (2 hours). The neighbor will pay extra if Doug will do the job this afternoon. What are Doug's options?

3. Sheena is trying out for the basketball team at school. She has to be able to make free throws and three-point shots. She has three hours to practice this afternoon. How much time should she spend practicing each skill? What are her options?

4. Randy and Larry are in charge of the refreshments for the party after the class play. Their budget for snack food is $20. They are considering popcorn ($3), pretzels ($10), chips ($5), candy bars ($7), and nachos ($5). What are their options?

5. Luis has an English final tomorrow and has only two hours to study this evening. He knows that spelling words will be on the final, but he also knows there will be questions covering the rules of grammar and punctuation. How can he plan his study time?

6. Sally is attending a scout camp in the mountains for a week. The campers will be hiking, camping, and horseback riding. They also have certain jobs they must do each day and special projects they must complete. They have only two hours during each of the four days to schedule hiking, camping, and horseback riding. Each activity must be scheduled in 30-minute blocks. Sally wants to spend some time doing each of these activities. What are her options?

Sheena can practice each skill one after the other with equal amount of short breaks or practice one persistently for half the time and the other for the other half with one or two long breaks but this is more risky since this might affect the first skill after only the second skill is in use or give one more preference for a short duration while still practicing both skill then switching

r and l can get pretzels chips and nachos or by removing one they can get popcorn or except pretzels everything

same as Sheena he can practice each one after the other with short equal breaks or practice one persistently the switch or do both while giving one more attention then switching

Sally has a lot of time to do the activities so she can do two activities each everyday that way she would be participating in all activities a certain combination is not needed
