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?
