1)    Imani  got  a  notice  from  the  bank  saying  that  she  had  overspent,  so  her  account  
balance  was  -­‐$43.    She  wrote  an  additional  cheque  for  $50  after  she  overdrew  her  
account.    What  will  be  Imani’s  bank  account  balance  once  the  new  cheque  goes  
through?  
 
 
2) During the football game, Justin caught three passes. One was for a
touchdown and went 52 yards. The other was for a first down and was for 17
yards. The other was on a screen pass that did not work so well and ended
up a gain of -10 yards. What was the total yardage gained by Justin on the
pass plays?
 
 
 
3) 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?
 
 
4) A monkey sits on a limb that is 25 ft above the ground. He swings up 10 ft,
climbs up 6 ft more then jumps down 13 ft. How far off the ground is the
monkey now?
 
 
5) A submarine dove 836 ft. It rose at a rate of 22 ft per minute. What was the
depth of the submarine after 12 minutes?
 
 
6) 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?
 
 
7) You owe $225. on your credit card. You make a $55. payment and then
