Answers for Sheet # 221
1) 5 cents + 6 cents = 11 cents/customer/week.
45 customers x 11 cents = $4.95/week
4 weeks x $4.95 = $19.80
10 weeks x $4.95 = $49.50
2) Mrs. Chase needs 24 cups. 16 cups make one gallon. She will need 1 1/2 gallon of juice.
3) 4 balloons x 6 tables + 30 balloons x 3 walls + 5 extras = 119 balloons
4) 24 pictures per page (counting both sides). 400 divided by 24 will give you 17. You will have to round up to next number.
