Basic Story Problem. Mom sends 15 year old boy into store with 20$ to buy 2 gallons of milk. Boy comes back to car with milk but says he didn't get any change. Boy says each gallon cost 10$. Did: a)milk prices skyrocket?
b)checker make mistake?
c)naughty boy put extra $ in his pocket?
In case you are stumped, I will give you some extra info. The father of child mentioned above was once on a 100 mile trip. The mother was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat(don't know how she could with his erratic driving style), when the car suddenly pulled off to the side of the road at which time the father declared that they were at the halfway point and it was her turn to drive. She dutifully complied (as she always does), and took a semi conscious place behind the wheel. However, when she pulled back onto the freeway and discovered that they were only 25 miles into the 100 mile journey - she attempted to question his arithmetic. However, she was met with a snicker and a snore. Hmmm, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree eh??
