Grade 5 · The Numbers Year · Week 33

Change One Thing

One change, written down with what you expect it to do. Only one.

This game goes with week 33 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

You sell at $ with a margin of $ each.

Drop the price to $ and sell more.

Less: by $2.20. The extra sales did not make up for the smaller margin on every sale.

Change one thing, write what you expect, then find out. Only one.
