Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing are all easy to you right now, but we take it a little deeper with amusement parks!

Addition
If Joel was at an amusement park and bought a chicken leg for $5.00 then bought a souvenir for $18.50 he also purchased a $2.75 pretzel what was Joel's total expense.
$18.50 $18 2/4
$2.75 $2
+$5.00
$26.25

Subtraction

Joel then got a 50 dollar bill. He spent $7.00 on the family photo, and spent another 5 dollars on pretzels. How much money does Joe-L have left?

$50.00
-7.00
$43.00
-5.00
$33.00

Multiplication

If Joel goes on the Spatial Sense Splash on Math Mountain, and begins travelling at 10.7 miles per hour, and his speed increases by 3.6 percent, how fast is he going now?

38.52 miles per hour

Division

If Joe-L is on the Data Tracks and he slows down from 30 mph by 15 %, how slow is he going now?

25.5 miles per hour

Positive and Negative Inverse Relationship
If the temperature at night before Justin went to sleep was -5° but when Justin woke up it was +25° how much did the temperature increase overnight?
