Our Student Store



I am so proud of all that has contributed in making the 401 Student Store such a great success! So far, Perry and Andy has counted up more than $122!

Remember, 40% of the proceeds go to charity. (20% goes to The Tigger House in Kabul, Afghanistan and 20% goes to purchase high jump shoes for an athlete in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

Math Challenge: How much will each charity cause go to so far?

20% of $122 = A, where A represents = $ to Afghanistan
20% of $122 = S, where S represents = $ to Sri Lanka
or
40% of $122 = B, where B represents = $ going to charity
B divided by 2 (number of causes) = $ for each cause

How much will be kept to purchsse resources (or spent on field trips!) for the class?

and...

$122 - (B) = X, where X represents the $ we get to keep!!!

I love finding X, don't you?
