Math Problem Statement
Solution
The document you uploaded contains four problem sets, all related to basic arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and percentage calculations. Here's a breakdown of the problems and how to solve them:
Opgave 1 (Problem 1)
Peter is shopping for a vacation, and he buys:
- 1 t-shirt for kr. 199
- A toothbrush set for kr. 58.50
- 3 pairs of underpants at kr. 39 each
a) How much does it cost in total?
- T-shirt: 199 kr
- Toothbrush set: 58.50 kr
- 3 pairs of underpants: 3 × 39 = 117 kr
- Total cost = 199 + 58.50 + 117 = 374.50 kr
b) Peter pays with a 500 kr note. How much does he get back?
- Amount paid: 500 kr
- Total cost: 374.50 kr
- Change = 500 - 374.50 = 125.50 kr
Opgave 2 (Problem 2)
The prices at a café are listed:
- Bun with tuna: kr. 37
- Soda water: kr. 25
- Water: kr. 15
- Optional cake: kr. 23
- Ice cream with toppings: kr. 27
a) What is the price for a water, a bun with tuna, and a cake of your choice?
- Water: 15 kr
- Bun with tuna: 37 kr
- Optional cake: 23 kr
- Total = 15 + 37 + 23 = 75 kr
b) If you buy the above meal 4 times a month, how much does it cost in a year (52 weeks)?
- Monthly cost = 75 kr × 4 = 300 kr
- Yearly cost = 300 kr × 12 months = 3600 kr
Opgave 3 (Problem 3)
A class of 22 students and 2 teachers is going on a 5-day trip to Sæby, staying in cabins. The expenses per person (student/teacher) are:
- Food: kr. 65 per day
- Accommodation: kr. 85 per day
- Transport: kr. 7000 in total
- Excursions: kr. 125 per person
- Other expenses: kr. 2500 in total
a) What is the total cost of the trip?
- Food for 5 days: 65 × 5 = 325 kr per person
- Accommodation for 4 nights: 85 × 4 = 340 kr per person
- Total food and accommodation: 325 + 340 = 665 kr per person
- Transport: kr. 7000 total
- Excursions: kr. 125 per person
- Other expenses: kr. 2500 total
- Total cost = (24 people × 665 kr) + 7000 + (24 × 125) + 2500
- Total cost = 15960 + 7000 + 3000 + 2500 = 28460 kr
b) What is the cost per person? (Round to the nearest whole number)
- Total cost: 28460 kr
- Total participants: 24
- Cost per person = 28460 ÷ 24 = 1186 kr
Opgave 4 (Problem 4)
Oliver has agreed with his parents that if he leaves his confirmation money (kr. 25000) in the bank, they will give him 6% interest per year.
a) How much does Oliver have after the first year?
- Interest = 6% of 25000 = 0.06 × 25000 = 1500 kr
- Total after 1 year = 25000 + 1500 = 26500 kr
b) How much does he have after 3 years?
We use compound interest for this, where the interest is added each year to the principal amount:
- After the second year: 26500 × 1.06 = 28090 kr
- After the third year: 28090 × 1.06 = 29775.40 kr
Would you like more details on any of the steps?
5 related questions:
- How do you calculate compound interest for more than 3 years?
- If Peter bought an additional item costing 50 kr, how would the change from 500 kr be affected?
- What would be the cost of the café meal if Peter added an ice cream with toppings?
- How would the trip expenses change if only 20 students and 2 teachers went?
- What would Oliver’s total be if the interest rate was 5% instead of 6%?
Tip: When calculating compound interest, always remember to add the interest back to the principal before calculating the next year's interest.
