Dear Timothy,

You are old enough to start handling real responsibility, so we, your parents, have agreed that it is in your best interest to start doing chores. You must perform three of the chores on the list without complaint daily to receive your regular allowance of $5.00 per week. You can then complete extra chores to earn more money. All basic chores will give you an extra 50 cents per week, with bonus chores varying in price according to difficulty.

Grades will also be rewarded on a quarterly basis as follows:

A—You earn $5.00.
B—You earn $2.00.
C—You earn $0.00.
D—You pay us $5.00.
F—You pay us $10.00.

Sincerely,
Mom and Dad

NO, YES, NO

1. Basic chores are rewarded at the rate of $0.50 each through the regular allowance.

We don't know individual rates of basic chores. All we know is, "Regular Allowance of $5.00 will be awarded on weekly basis."

ANSWER: NO

2. Assuming that the kitchen has at least 24 linear feet of countertop, washing the kitchen counters is the best-paying chore on the bonus list.

24 linear feet countertop x $0.25 per counter linear foot = $6.00

$6.00 is grater than every other chore on bonus list. So, washing the kitchen counters is the best-paying chore on the bonus list.

ANSWER: YES

3. Timothy earned more than $100.00 last year from his report card alone.

To calculate this, we need to add all grades: 9 + 17 + (-10) + 6 + 11 + (-15) + 20 + 20 = $58.00

ANSWER: NO

i) Basic chores are rewarded at the rate of $0.50 each through the regular allowance--False. Basic regular allowance is 5$ for 3 chores and so they are not rewarded based on 05

ii) Assuming that the kitchen has at least 24 linear feet of countertop, washing the kitchen counters is the best-paying chore on the bonus list- False. 24*0.25= 6$ but if there are more than 2 rooms, shampoo carpets will fetch 15$ which is >6.

iii) Timothy earned more than $100.00 last year from his report card alone- False
He has got 13 As= 65$
3Ds= 15$
9B=18$
1F= 10$
6C =0
Thus total= 65-15-10+18=58$< 100$

A. Basic chores are rewarded at the rate of $0.50 each through the regular allowance.

Tab#1 (You must perform three of the chores on the list without complaint daily to receive your regular allowance of $5.00 per week)

So, 500 cents / (3 chores daily x 7 days) = approx 25 cents each


FALSE is the answer



B. Assuming that the kitchen has at least 24 linear feet of countertop, washing the kitchen counters is the best-paying chore on the bonus list.

Total payment (kitchen countertop) >= 24 linear feet x $0.25 per counter linear foot = $ 6.00

$ 6.00 is higher than any other payment pertaining to various chores


TRUE is the answer



C. Timothy earned more than $100.00 last year from his report card alone.

A's (13 Nos) = 13 x 5 = 65
B's (9 Nos) = 9 x 2 = 18
C's (6 Nos) = 6 x 0 = 0
D's (3 Nos) = 3 x (-5) = -15
E's (1 No) = 1 x (-10) = -10

Total earning = 65 + 18 + 0 -15 -10 = $ 58 < $ 100

FALSE is the answer

Official Explanation

Basic chores are rewarded at the rate of $0.50 each through the regular allowance.

Basic chores pay only at a rate of $0.24 each through Timothy's regular allowance. Divide $5 by 3 chores a day and 7 days a week for a total of $0.238 per chore.

Answer: No


Assuming that the kitchen has at least 24 linear feet of countertop, washing the kitchen counters is the best-paying chore on the bonus list.

If the kitchen has 24 linear feet of countertop, then the chore pays $6.00 for a complete cleaning. This is in fact the best-paying chore on the bonus list if Timothy washes the entire countertop.

Answer: Yes


Timothy earned more than $100.00 last year from his report card alone.

Timothy earned $29.00 in the first quarter, $7 in the second quarter, $21 in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter. This is a total of $79 for the school year.

What if he shampoos the carpet of two rooms? Shouldn't that be the highest paid?
