ORIGINAL SCENARIO — REPAIR WORKSHOP A workshop expects 53 participants. Each rented table seats at most 6 people and costs $18. Hall rental is a fixed $70, and materials cost $3 per participant. The total budget is $450. These fictional prices already include all charges. Each tabletop measures 1.8 m by 0.75 m. The room measures 10 m by 8 m; access routes and safe spacing still need a layout check.
Which check is still needed before concluding that the tables fit the room suitably?

Which check is still needed before concluding that the tables fit the room suitably?
Correct answer: Check a layout with chairs, doors and access routes
A total-area comparison cannot show whether doors, chairs and access routes remain usable. The recommendation needs a workable layout as well as a cost calculation.

Official reference ↗ORIGINAL SCENARIO — PARK WALK Organizers expect 800 visitors. In a morning survey, 18 of 60 visitors said they would use a refill station. For planning, assume that the same proportion applies to all 800 visitors and that each user takes one 250 mL serving. Each full cooler holds 18 L. The survey is an estimate, not a promise about attendance or demand.
What percentage of surveyed visitors said they would use the refill station?
Correct answer: 30%
18 ÷ 60 = 0.30, or 30%. The denominator is everyone surveyed, not the 800 expected visitors.

How many tables are required to seat all 53 participants?
Correct answer: 9
53 ÷ 6 = 8.83… . Round up to 9 tables, providing 54 places. Eight tables seat only 48 people.

The survey is an estimate, not a promise about attendance or demand.
Using the stated survey assumption, how many of the 800 visitors are expected to use the station?
Correct answer: 240
Apply the sample proportion: 800 × (18 ÷ 60) = 240 expected users. This is an estimate based on the stated assumption.

Official reference ↗ORIGINAL SCENARIO — CARGO-BIKE QUOTES For Service A, the quoted cost is $22 for 2 km, $30 for 4 km and $38 for 6 km. Assume its price follows one linear model. Service B quotes C = 26 + 2d, where C is dollars and d is distance in kilometres. Both fictional quotes include all charges and apply only to trips from 1 km to 12 km. Compare the same trip distance for both services.
Using that linear model, what is Service A’s quoted cost for a 9 km trip?
Correct answer: $50
Service A costs 14 + 4 × 9 = 14 + 36 = $50. Nine kilometres is within the stated 1–12 km range.

Official reference ↗ORIGINAL SCENARIO — GARDEN GRANT Three groups share a $1,680 grant. Maple contributed 12 volunteer hours, Birch 18 hours and Cedar 30 hours. Proposal A gives each group an equal share. Proposal B divides the money in proportion to volunteer hours. Unless a question says otherwise, use Proposal B and divide the entire grant. These are fictional allocation rules, not a claim that one rule is always fairest.
Under Proposal B, how much does Cedar receive?
Correct answer: $840
The groups contributed 12 + 18 + 30 = 60 hours. Cedar contributed 30/60 = 1/2 of them, so receives $1,680 ÷ 2 = $840.

Compare the same trip distance for both services.
For a 10 km delivery, how much is saved by choosing the cheaper service?
Correct answer: $8
At 10 km, A costs 14 + 40 = $54 and B costs 26 + 20 = $46. Choosing B saves $54 − $46 = $8.

If $240 is first reserved for shared tools, what does Birch receive from the remaining proportional allocation?
Correct answer: $432
The distributable amount becomes $1,680 − $240 = $1,440. Birch still has 18/60 = 30% of the hours, so receives 0.30 × $1,440 = $432.

Official reference ↗Which explanation correctly distinguishes the two proposals?
Correct answer: A treats groups equally; B weights volunteer time
Proposal A gives $560 to each group because there are three groups. Proposal B rewards recorded hours proportionally. A recommendation must state which criterion it uses.

Compare the same trip distance for both services.
What rate per kilometre is consistent with Service A’s quoted prices?
Correct answer: $4 per km
From 2 km to 4 km, the price rises by $30 − $22 = $8 over 2 km. The rate is therefore $8 ÷ 2 = $4 per kilometre.

The room measures 10 m by 8 m; access routes and safe spacing still need a layout check.
With nine tables already booked, what is the greatest number of participants that both the seats and $450 budget allow?
Correct answer: 54
Nine tables provide 54 seats. At 54 participants, the total is $162 + $70 + $162 = $394, within $450. Seating, rather than the budget, limits attendance.

Why might the morning survey give a poor estimate of demand for the whole day?
Correct answer: The sample includes only morning visitors
Morning visitors may have different needs from afternoon visitors. The arithmetic can be correct while the sample does not represent the whole day.
