The first $5000 allocation purchased 200 shares at $25 per share. The second $5000 allocation only bought 156.25 shares because the price rose to $32 per share in the second month. The third $5000 allocation bought 250 shares at $20 per share. After three months, the couple owned 606.25 shares at an average cost of $24.74. Their investment is worth $15,156.25. (i.e., 606.25 shares  $25 current value). If they had invested $15,000 all at once, they would only have 600 shares. At the current share price, their investment would only be worth $15,000, the same as the original lump sum. 4. Answers will vary. However, markets tend to go up in the long term.

21. Let the amount of money spent on recreational players be $x. If twice as much money was spent on rep players, then the amount spent on recreational players can be determined by $x + $2x = $4320 $3x = $4320 $x = $1440 And therefore, the amount spent on rep players was $4320  $1440 = $2880. Let the number of Youth Large shirts purchased for recreational players be y. $10y + $8(50) + $8(50) = $1440 $10y + $400 + $400 = $1440 $10y = $640 y = 64 64 Youth Large shirts were purchased for recreational players. Let the number of Adult Small and Adult Medium shirts be z. For rep players, the cost of shirts is given by $8(50 – 10) + $10(3 × 64) + $16z + $16z = $2880 Therefore, the number of shirts of each Adult size ordered can be calculated as $320 + $1920 + $16(2z) = $2880 $2240 + $16(2z) = $2880 $16(2z) = $640 2z = 40 z = 20 20 Adult Small and 20 Adult Medium shirts were purchased for rep players. (50 + 50 + 64) + (40 + 192 + 20 + 20) = 436 There are a total of 436 players in the organization.

3. The lowest possible two-digit number is 10; the highest possible two-digit number is 99. For a difference in value of $17.82, the two-digit numbers must differ by 18, such as 10 and 28, 11 and 29, etc. The lowest possible correct value of the cheque is $10.28; the largest possible correct value of the cheque is $81.99. In either case the difference between is $17.82. (a) FALSE than 70.

In the possible correct cheque value $81.99, the x-value 81 is greater

(b) TRUE

In the possible correct cheque value $18.36, the y-value 36 equals 2x.

(c) TRUE

A cheque cannot have zero cents.

(d) FALSE

Let the correct amount be $A;
