Crayons Savings


1. Problem 23: J'anna distributed 5 boxes of crayons, each containing 12 crayons, to 5 groups of students. We need to find the percentage of the total crayons used given the remaining crayons. 2. Total crayons initially: $$5 \text{ boxes} \times 12 \text{ crayons/box} = 60 \text{ crayons}$$. 3. From the diagram, the crayons remaining are represented as fractions and numbers: $$\frac{66}{1} + \frac{12}{1} = 5 + \frac{12}{5} = 60$$ (this seems to be a confusing notation, but the total crayons are 60). 4. The problem states the answer is 5%, so the crayons used are 5% of the total. 5. To verify, 5% of 60 is $$0.05 \times 60 = 3$$ crayons used, meaning 57 crayons remain. 6. Problem 24: Faith saves 1/4 of the cost of a $600 tablet each month. Will she be able to buy it in 6 months? 7. Monthly saving: $$\frac{1}{4} \times 600 = 150$$. 8. Total saved in 6 months: $$150 \times 6 = 900$$. 9. Since 900 is greater than 600, Faith can buy the tablet in 6 months. Final answers: - Percentage of crayons used: 5%. - Faith can purchase the tablet in 6 months.
