Question 1: A store sells 3 notebooks for $4.50. At this rate, how much would 8 notebooks cost?
- $10.00
- $12.00 (Correct answer)
- $11.50

Correct answer: $12.00
The unit price is $1.50 per notebook, so 8 × $1.50 = $12.00.

Correct answer: 8 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + w), so 36 = 2(10 + w), giving w = 8 cm.
