📖 Part 1: Mixed Problems

Identify the type of problem (word, equation, or geometry) before solving.

1. A rugby team is fundraising for new uniforms. They sell meat pies for $4.50 each and sausage rolls for $3.20 each. On Saturday, they sold 85 meat pies and 120 sausage rolls. How much money did they raise in total?
2. Solve for x: 3x - 7 = 2x + 11
3. A rectangular garden has a length of 12 metres and a width of 8 metres. If a path 1.5 metres wide is built around the entire garden, what is the area of the path only?
4. Sarah is planning a road trip from Auckland to Wellington (650 kilometres). Her car uses 8 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres. If petrol costs $2.40 per litre, how much will she spend on petrol for the one-way trip?
5. Solve for y: 2(y + 4) = 3y - 5
6. A cylindrical water tank has a radius of 2.5 metres and a height of 4 metres. Calculate the volume of water it can hold. (Use π ≈ 3.14)
