  1. A notice on a vending machine reads: 'Accepts ¥10, ¥50, ¥100, ¥500 coins and ¥1,000 bills. No change given for bills over ¥1,000. IC card payments accepted.' A customer has only a ¥5,000 bill. How can they pay?

    Answer: By IC card only, since ¥5,000 bills are not accepted

    The machine accepts up to ¥1,000 bills and IC cards; a ¥5,000 bill is not listed as accepted, so IC card is the only option.

  2. A gym membership brochure states: 'Monthly fee ¥7,000. Enrollment fee ¥5,000 (waived in April). Pool access: additional ¥2,000/month. Locker: ¥500/month.' A person joins in April and wants pool access and a locker. What do they pay in the first month?

    Answer: ¥9,500

    Monthly ¥7,000 + pool ¥2,000 + locker ¥500 = ¥9,500; enrollment fee is waived in April.

  3. A hotel policy reads: 'Check-in: 15:00. Check-out: 11:00. Early check-in (before 15:00): ¥2,000 fee. Late check-out (after 11:00 until 14:00): ¥1,500 fee. After 14:00 charged as full night.' A guest checks out at 13:30. What is the additional charge?

    Answer: ¥1,500

    Checking out at 13:30 falls within the 11:00–14:00 late check-out window, which incurs a ¥1,500 fee.

  4. A recycling guide states: 'Plastic bottles: remove caps and labels before recycling. Glass bottles: separate by color (clear, brown, other). Cardboard: flatten and tie with string. Electronics: drop off at designated centers only.' What must be done to plastic bottles before recycling?

    Answer: Remove caps and labels

    The guide specifically instructs that caps and labels must be removed from plastic bottles before recycling.

  5. A seminar announcement says: 'Registration deadline: September 5. Capacity: 30 participants. Materials fee: ¥500 (paid on the day). Online attendance option available for those outside Tokyo.' Who is the online option intended for?

    Answer: People who live outside Tokyo

    The announcement states the online option is available specifically for those outside Tokyo.

  6. A parking sign reads: 'No parking 8:00–20:00 weekdays. Parking permitted weekends and holidays. Maximum stay: 2 hours. Tow-away zone.' A driver parks at 19:30 on a Friday. Are they in violation?

    Answer: Yes, because 19:30 is within the no-parking hours on a weekday

    The no-parking restriction runs until 20:00 on weekdays, and 19:30 on Friday falls within that period.

  7. A medicine package insert states: 'Adults (15+): 2 tablets, 3 times daily after meals. Children 7–14: 1 tablet, 3 times daily. Children under 7: do not use. Do not exceed stated dose.' How many tablets should a 10-year-old take per day?

    Answer: 3 tablets

    Children aged 7–14 take 1 tablet 3 times daily, which totals 3 tablets per day.
