Problem of the Week

By Trudy Gau

Congratulations to our winners of last week's problem. The winners will be announced at assembly on Monday.

 

What a fabulous Colour Run and what an amazing Fundraising effort!  Have a go at solving one of our problems:

 

At 1pm, our total funds raised was at $18 020.00

 

Mild:  If we bought super fancy iPads with our money and they cost $1 000.00 each, how many iPads could we buy?

 

Medium:  JB-HiFi is selling iPads

 

Can you round the cost of each iPad up to the nearest $100 and then use these figures to calculate the estimate cost if Sandy East decided to buy 2 of each of the laptops above.

 

Spicy:  

Use a calculator to see if you can buy a number of the iPads above and get as close as possible to our raised total funds of $18 020.00. The goal is to get as close as possible to the total.
