2 | Part A= 2 points Student response includes the following 2 elements Reasoning Component= 1 point o Student provides a valid explanation of how to find the number of days the family of four can rent scooters within the $250.00 limit. ( 2 days with remainder of $58.00) Computation Component-= 1 point Student provides the correct number of days the family can rent the scooters (2) Sample Student Response: I would find the number of days the family can rent scooters by first finding the amount it would cost one person. Then I multiply that answer by 4 to find the cost of the scooters for 1 day for the whole family. Then I would divide the amount Dad wants to spend by the amount of one day for the whole family $6.00 x 4 = $24.00 (Cost of scooter rentals for 1 day for 1 person) $24.00 x 4 people = $96.00 (Cost of scooter rentals for 1 day for family of 4) $250.00 ÷96.00 = 2 days remainder of $58.00 (Number of days family of 4 can rent scooters) |
