The Assessment

Demonstration Class Composition: 19 Students, 1 Teacher How many people does 1 pizza?: 4 people How many people does 1 soda bottle serve?: 5 people Cost Per Pizza: $7.00 Cost Per Soda Bottle: $2.00

Demonstration How many pizzas will I need? – Each pizza serves 5 people. – There are 20 people coming to the party. – 20 / 5 = 4 – We will need 4 pizza. What will my total pizza cost be? – Each pizza costs 7.00 – $7.00 x 4 Pizzas = $28.00 – The total cost for pizzas will be $28.00

Demonstration How many bottles of soda will I need? – Each bottle serves 4 people. – There are 20 people coming to the party. – 20 / 4 = 5 – We will need 5 bottles of soda. What will my total soda cost be? – Each bottle of soda costs $2.00 – $2.00 x 5 Bottles= $10.00 – The total cost for soda will be $10.00

Demonstration What is the total cost of the party? – The total cost for pizzas will be $28.00 – The total cost for soda will be $ – $ $10.00 = $38.00 – The total cost of the party will be $38.00 How much money would each person need to bring in order to cover the cost of the party? – There are 20 people coming to the party. – The total cost of the party will be $38.00 – $38.00 / 20 people = $1.90 – If each person contributes $1.90, the cost of the party will be covered.
