X. Monica’s parents gave her a prepaid debit card to use for her monthly expenses. At the beginning of each month her parents add $95 to the card. The card can have a negative balance, but if it does she is charged a $15 service fee. Monica’s monthly expenses are shown below. Calculate Monica’s balance at the end of each month.

Monica’s Monthly (Reoccurring) Expenses:

Cell Phone Bill: $45

Monica’s October Expenses:

XI. Directions: Determine if the value for each of the choices below will result in a positive or negative value. Explain the answer you choose.

Assuming all marks are equally spaced, if zero lies between a and b, list the result of each scenario.

A) a – b D) ab + 1

B) – a E) -b

C) b – a F) a + b

XII. Directions: Solve real world word problems involving integers and rational numbers.

1. Katherine is very interested in cryogenics (the science of very low temperatures). With the help of her science teacher she is doing an experiment on the affect of low temperatures on bacteria. She cools one sample of bacteria to a temperature of -51°C and another to -76°C. What was the temperature difference in the two experiments?

2. In golf, the average score a good player should be able to achieve is called "par." Par for a whole course is calculated by adding up the par scores for each hole. Scores in golf are often expressed at some number either greater than or less than par. Ms. Floop is having a pretty good day at the Megalopolis City Golf Club. Her score so far after 15 holes is -3. If par for 15 holes is 63, what is her score?

A)65

B)66

C)60

D)63

XIII. The coordinates of point P are (6,9). The coordinates of point q are (9, y1). What is the value of y, if the coordinates of points P and Q are in a proportional relationship? After finding the value of y, plot point P and point Q on the graph below.

(7.RP.2a; Chapter 4; PARCC#15; 2 points)

XIV. Rosy waxes [pic] of her car with [pic] bottle of car wax. At this rate, what fraction of the bottle of car wax will Rosy use to wax her entire car? (7.RP.1; Chapter 4; PARCC#4; 1 point)

XV. Mrs. Jakeman is teaching her class about probability. She has ten cards, numbered 1 to 10, which she mixes up and stands on a shelf turned so that the numbers do not show. Mrs. Jakeman turns the cards over one at a time. The class has to guess whether the next card will have a higher number than the last one turned or a lower number.

(7.SP.5; Lesson 1.2.1; 4 points)

[pic]

Part A: Would you expect the next number to be higher than 8 or lower? Explain why you made this decision.

[pic]

Part B: The next card is number 5. What is the probability that the next card will be a lower number? Explain how you know.
