Please do the first question.  The second is optional but great practice.

Remember what we discussed in class about finding the important information and knowing what is being asked.

1. Barney is a good salesman.  He sold thousands of chocolate-covered mosscakes on his last sales trip.  He sold 4 503 cases in Peoria, 5 304 cases in Abilene, 4 353 in Wilmington and 5 043 in Little Rock.  Anytime he sells more than 4 500 cases in a city he gets a bonus of $1000.  How much bonus money did he earn on his trip?

2. 5 000 glow-in-the-dark rings were sold at the first Boogaloo Banshee Band concert.  Every time the band gave a concert, the total number of rings sold doubled.  They gave four concerts on their summer tour.  How many rings did they sell at the 4th concert?

    There are 3 citys where he sold more than 4 500 cases.3×1000=3000.
    He earned $3000.

  16. rv018 on October 8th, 2008 7:22 pm

    I looked at the question over and over again. Then I added up the bonus money,and… the answer is $3000!!☺☻☺☻

  17. RVO13 on October 9th, 2008 4:02 pm

    4503=1000
    5304=1000
    5043=1000

    1=5000
    2= 5000+5000=10000

  19. RV001 on October 9th, 2008 7:44 pm

    He got 3000 bonus money I found out by looking at all of the numbers.bye bye.

  20. RV001 on October 9th, 2008 7:50 pm

    I found out witch citys sales were larger then the bonus number.

  21. RV001 on October 9th, 2008 7:56 pm

    I was doubling number of glow rings from the first concert

    concert sales
    1 5000
    2 10000
    3 20000
    4 40000

  22. RVOO4 on October 9th, 2008 8:52 pm

    Hi Mme I thought these 2 questions were ok. I wrote down the numbers for the first question. I wrote 4 503 witch gives a bonus, 5 304 you got a bonus,4 353 witch you don’t get a bonus for and 5 043 and you get a bonus for. So you got 3 bonuses. So Barney got $3000.For the 2 question the anwser is 40000 because for the first concert hthe band got $5000 2 concertthe band got $10000 3 concert the band got $20000 on the 4 concert the band got $40000
    so the answer is $40000

  23. RV017 on October 10th, 2008 8:21 am

    4503 >4500= 1000

    5304 > 4500= 1000

    4353 4500 =1000
    1000+1000+1000=3000

  24. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:38 pm

    You did a great job showing the addition you did. When we write numbers in the thousands we leave a space rather than a comma, for example instead of writing 1,000 we write
    1 000. Bravo.

  25. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:40 pm

    I can clearly see how you found your answer. Can you explain why you chose to multiply by 2? Well done.

  26. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:41 pm

    He did get a bonus for three cities and you explained nicely how you found the $3 000. Great work. I’m glad it was easy, how did you know it was three cities in which he received a bonus?

  27. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:43 pm

    What a great job of showing your answer, why did you choose to multiply by 2 each time?

  28. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:44 pm

    You’re right! What did you see when you looked at the numbers and cities? How did they help you to find the answer?

  29. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:46 pm

    Your answers are both right. Can you explain to me how you found them? Use a few sentences to explain each. Instead of using a comma after the thousands just leave a space (for example 10 000). Well done.

  30. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:48 pm

    I can easily understand how you found the answers, your descriptions are very clear. Did you find this question easy or difficult?

  31. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:49 pm

    Thank you for sharing your answers. In question 1 I can easily see how you found the answer. Can you write a few sentences to explain how you found the answer for question 2? Bravo!

  32. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:52 pm

    Both your answers are very clear and easy to see how you found the answers. When you write numbers in the thousands, rather than writing a comma we now leave a space after the thousands (for example 40 000 instead of 40,000). Did you find these questions to be easy or difficult?

  33. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:56 pm

    You wrote a very detailed description that clearly stated how you found the answer. That is a great strategy you used by looking at the numbers and deciding which ones were over 4 500. You mentioned you found the 2nd question confusing but got some help, did you finish that one as well?

  34. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:57 pm

    You’re right, he did earn $3 000 (leave a space rather than a comma after the thousands). Can you write a few sentences to explain how you found that answer?

  35. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 3:59 pm

    You found the right answer but I am not sure how you got it. Can you explain it? Remember to read your sentences and edit them (upper case letters). :) Bravo

  36. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:01 pm

    I see how you found your answers, I notice though you gave him an extra bonus. Can you see where that is and why he should not have received it? How much money in bonus money did he get?

  37. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:04 pm

    Your explanations are very clear and your answers are both right. Well done. When you write numbers in the thousands make sure you leave a space instead of a comma (for example 40 000 instead of 40,000).

  38. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:05 pm

    You showed that you found the answer by using multiplication, that is a good strategy. Did you find this question easy or difficult?

  39. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:06 pm

    The answer is $3 000. How did looking at the question several times help you? What did you see, can you explain it in a few sentences?

  40. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:08 pm

    Your descriptions are great and I can easily see how you found the answers. What do you need to include before your number to show money? Make sure to leave a space after your thousands when you are writing numbers
    (40 000). Bravo :)

  41. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:11 pm

    Bravo, j’aime comment tu as montrer le travail que tu as fait et le francais.

    Did you find the question easy or difficult?

  42. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:12 pm

    You did a great job doubling. Make sure to leave a space after the thousands in your numbers (5 000, 10 000 etc). Was it difficult to double all the numbers?

  43. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:14 pm

    Thank you for explaining how you found the answer. Can you look up how to write the plural of city?

  44. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:15 pm

    Thank you for such detailed answers. Did you find it difficult doubling the numbers in the second question?

  45. ehammond on October 10th, 2008 4:18 pm

    You did a very good job of sharing your answer. Can you use a sentence or two to explain the symbol > that you used? Bravo :)

  46. RV012 on October 10th, 2008 7:56 pm

    I thought in French you left a space and in English you needed to use a comma.

  47. RV012 on October 10th, 2008 7:57 pm

    Because it’s easier and the sales doubled which means to times by 2.

  48. RV020 on October 10th, 2008 9:34 pm

    Barney sold 4503 in peoria, 5304 in Abilene and 5043 in Little Rock . Those numbers are over 4500. $1000+$1000+$1000=$3000 . Barney earned $3000 in Bonus money .

    2. They sold 5000 at the first concert. They sold 5000+5000=10000 at the second concert. They sold 10000+10000=20000 at the third concert. They sold 20000+20000=40000 rings at the fourth concert.

  49. ehammond on October 11th, 2008 10:22 am

    In English we used to use commas, you’re right, but now it has changed so we leave a space instead.

  50. RV003 on October 12th, 2008 12:29 pm

    1. Every time the salesman sold more than 4500 he got a bonus. Three times he sold more than 4500 so he got 3 $1000 bonuses.

    2. The band sold 5 000 rings inthe first consert, and doubled the sales each consert after that. 5 000 x 2 is 10 000. 10 000 x 2 is 20 000. 20 000 x 2 is 40 000.

  51. rv011 on October 13th, 2008 12:39 pm

    I knew that it was three cities because each time he sold more than 4 500 he got a bonus.

  52. rv011 on October 13th, 2008 12:42 pm

    Because doubling means times 2.

  53. rv008 on October 13th, 2008 5:52 pm

    Here ia how I got my answer.

    4 503 Peoria earned 1 000 Bonus
    5 304 Abilene earned 1 000 Bonus
    4 353 Wilmington No Bonus
    5 043 Little Rock 1000 Bonus

    Barney earned 3 000 dollars because he sold over 4 500 chocolate covered mosscakes 3 times on his trip.

  54. rv008 on October 13th, 2008 6:08 pm

    1. 5 000
    2. 10 000
    3. 20 000
    4. 40 000

    The boogaloo banshee concert gave out 5 000 on there first concert.Every other concert that they gave they doubled the amount of glow and the dark rings they sold.
    By the last concert they sold 40 000.

  55. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:20 am

    Thank you!

  56. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:20 am

    Thanks for explaining!

  57. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:20 am

    Thanks :)

  58. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:21 am

    Those are great descriptions, thanks!

  59. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:22 am

    Merci!

  60. ehammond on October 14th, 2008 10:23 am

    That is a good description of how you found the answer, thank you.

  61. RV019 on October 14th, 2008 6:03 pm

    Barney got 3000 dollars for bonus money.
    4503 is more than 4500, 5304 is more, 4353 is less and 5043 is more. So that adds up to 3000 bonus money.

  62. RVOO4 on October 14th, 2008 7:52 pm

    Hi mme I think that the second question was a bit hard to double.

  63. RVOO5 on October 14th, 2008 8:03 pm

    yes i did finish that question but it did take me a little longer then the frist question.

  64. RV022 on October 16th, 2008 8:24 am

    I found it easy not difficult.

  65. RV009 on October 16th, 2008 3:53 pm

    I found it easy.

  66. RV016 on October 16th, 2008 5:52 pm

    I found the question easy.

  67. RV015 on October 16th, 2008 7:16 pm

    I found the answer by doubleing the number each time.

    EX. 500 doubled=1000 1000 doubled=2000 2000 doubled=4000.

  68. RV017 on October 19th, 2008 8:01 pm

    4503 >4500 means that 4503 is greater then
    4500.

  69. RV018 on October 19th, 2008 8:41 pm

    I looked at the question and I counted how many times he sold over 4500 cases. He sold that many three times. Then I added up 1000 and 1000 and 1000 to get the answer 3000.
