The Grade Five Graduation Party Math By Thys Moreau and Sabina Lum Thys Moreau

The Challenge We needed to design a menu for the grade five graduation party. First, we did the surveys. We needed to know what people liked.

Drinks Survey

Cultural food types Survey

Food type

Pizza Types

Dessert Tally

The Next Step Once we had finished the surveys, we needed to start the buying. But first, we needed to calculate what we could spend.

Our Budget We had to do the math to get our total budget. In the challenge it said that on every person we could spend We multiplied that by 23 because that was the total amount of people. Our Math looked like this:

THE MATH 275,000 X 10 = 2,750,000 2,750,00 X 2= 5,500, ,000 X 3 = 825,000 5,500, ,000= 6,325,000 Total budget is 6,325,000

Splitting It up Now we needed to make a budget for each category: Food, Drinks, and Desserts. It had to add up to the total After we judged what they would be, we came out with this: Drinks: 1,000,000 Food: 3,000,000 Dessert: 2,325,000

Spending We spent 820,000 for drinks, 2,086,000 for food, and 1,205,000 for dessert. We still had a lot left, so we bought more items.

Subtracting The Remainders Now we need to see how much is left. For our drinks we had 180,000 left. For our food we had 914,000 left. Finally, for our dessert we had 795,000 left. In total, that was 1,889,000.

The Remainder. The Remainder. We still had to spend our leftovers. So we got more of everything. Once we did that we had 4,000 left. That was the closest we got.

Our final menu!!
