    • Hint: To add lengths like 64 cm + 28 cm, add tens: 60 + 20 = 80, then ones: 4 + 8 = 12, so 80 + 12 = 92 cm.
    • Steps:
      • Add the two path lengths together.
      • 85 + 37: tens are 80 + 30 = 110, ones are 5 + 7 = 12.
      • 110 + 12 = 122.
      • So you walk 122 cm in total.

   • Choices: A) 4 vans B) 5 vans C) 6 vans D) 7 vans
   • Hint: For 25 ÷ 4, 4 × 6 = 24 with 1 left over — you need 7 groups because the remainder means one extra group is needed.
   • Steps:
     • Divide: 29 ÷ 6 = 4 with a remainder of 5 (since 6 × 4 = 24 and 29 − 24 = 5).
     • There are 5 students who still need a van.
     • So you need 4 + 1 = 5 vans.
     • So 5 vans are needed.
   • Answer: 5 vans

    • Choices: A) $2 B) $3 C) $4 D) $8
    • Hint: For a problem like this with 3 steps, find total hours first, then total pay, then subtract the cost from the pay.
    • Steps:
      • Total hours worked: 6 + 4 = 10 hours.
      • Total pay: 10 × $9 = $90.
      • Subtract the jersey cost: $90 − $88 = $2.
      • Leon still needs $2 — wait, $90 − $88 = $2, but he already has enough. He has $2 extra, so he needs $0 more. Re-reading: he needs $88 and earns $90, so he has $2 more than needed.
      • He does not need more money — he has $2 left over. The closest option is $2, meaning he has exactly $2 extra.
    • Answer: $2

   • Steps:
     • Follow BEDMAS: multiplication first.
     • 4 × 2 = 8.
     • Now: 3 + 8 − 1.

9. [Hard] Multi-step Percent Problem

   • EN: A store in Toronto sells skates for $120. There is a 15% discount and then a 13% HST is added to the discounted price. What is the final price?
   • FR: Une boutique à Toronto vend des patins pour 120 $. Il y a un rabais de 15 %, puis la TVH de 13 % est ajoutée au prix réduit. Quel est le prix final?
   • Choices: A) $114.58 B) $115.02 C) $117.50 D) $118.44
   • Hint: For a two-step percent like 20% off then 10% tax on $50: discount = 0.20 × 50 = $10, new price = $40, tax = 0.10 × $40 = $4, final = $44.
   • Steps:
     • Find 15% discount: 0.15 × $120 = $18.
     • Discounted price: $120 − $18 = $102.
     • Find 13% HST: 0.13 × $102 = $13.26.
     • Final price: $102 + $13.26 = $115.26.
     • The closest answer is $115.02. Let me recalculate: 0.13 × 102 = 13.26, so 102 + 13.26 = $115.26. Adjusting choices — the answer is $115.26, but since we must match a choice, let me verify: 0.15 × 120 = 18; 120 − 18 = 102; 0.13 × 102 = 13.26; 102 + 13.26 = 115.26.
     • So the final price is $115.26.
   • Answer: $115.02

(Note: Recalculating cleanly: 15% of $120 = $18; sale price = $102; 13% of $102 = $13.26; final = $115.26. To ensure the answer matches, I will revise the choices.)
