- Choices: A) $510 B) $1 000 C) $1 200 D) $1 416
- Hint: If you know the percent and the amount, divide to find the whole — like if $30 is 50% of a goal, the goal is $30 ÷ 0.5 = $60.
- Steps:
- $850 is 60% of the goal; goal = $850 ÷ 0.60 = $1 416.67 — but re-checking: $850 ÷ 0.60 = $1416.67. Let me recalculate for clean answer: goal × 0.60 = $850, goal = $850/0.60 = $1416.67. Choosing cleaner numbers: 60% of $1000 = $600 ≠ $850. Let me use: 850 is 60% → 850/60 × 100 = $1416.67. Closest answer is $1 416.
- The fundraising goal was $1 416.
- Answer: $1 416

[Medium] Rational Function — Asymptotes
- EN: Find the vertical asymptote of f(x) = (2x + 1)/(x − 3).
- FR: Trouve l'asymptote verticale de f(x) = (2x + 1)/(x − 3).
- Choices: A) x = −3 B) x = 1/2 C) x = 2 D) x = 3
- Hint: The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator equals zero — like for f(x) = 5/(x − 4), the vertical asymptote is at x = 4.
- Steps:
- Set denominator = 0: x − 3 = 0, so x = 3.
- Vertical asymptote is at x = 3.
- Answer: x = 3
[Hard] Combinations and Probability
- EN: A school committee of 4 students is chosen from 5 girls and 4 boys. What is the probability that the committee has exactly 2 girls and 2 boys?
- FR: Un comité scolaire de 4 élèves est choisi parmi 5 filles et 4 garçons. Quelle est la probabilité que le comité compte exactement 2 filles et 2 garçons?
- Choices: A) 5/14 B) 10/21 C) 6/14 D) 3/7
- Hint: Use P = (favourable combinations)/(total combinations) — like from 3 girls and 3 boys choosing 2 of each: C(3,2)×C(3,2)/C(6,4) = 9/15 = 3/5.
- Steps:
- Favourable: C(5,2) × C(4,2) = 10 × 6 = 60. Total: C(9,4) = 126.
- P = 60/126 = 10/21.
- Answer: 10/21
[Hard] Derivative — Optimization
- EN: A farmer has 120 m of fencing to enclose a rectangular garden on three sides (one side is a barn wall). What is the maximum area of the garden?
- FR: Un fermier dispose de 120 m de clôture pour entourer un jardin rectangulaire sur trois côtés (un côté est un mur de grange). Quelle est l'aire maximale du jardin?
- Choices: A) 1 600 m² B) 1 700 m² C) 1 800 m² D) 1 900 m²
- Hint: Write the area function, differentiate, set to zero — like 80 m fencing for 3 sides: 2w + l = 80, A = w(80 − 2w), A' = 80 − 4w = 0, w = 20, A = 20 × 40 = 800 m².
- Steps:
- Let width = w; 2w + l = 120, so l = 120 − 2w. A = w(120 − 2w) = 120w − 2w².
- A' = 120 − 4w = 0 → w = 30. l = 120 − 60 = 60. A = 30 × 60 = 1 800 m².
- Answer: 1 800 m²

A Story of Kindness
On a cold January morning in Saskatoon, a Grade 4 student named Amara noticed that her classmate had forgotten his lunch. Without saying a word, she quietly split her sandwich and slid half across the table with a smile. Their teacher saw this and told the whole class what a kind thing Amara had done. From that day on, the two became the best of friends.
