Hey there! It's day 1 of your new job. You need to buy some supplies to get started. Each box of supplies is $5.50. You purchased 8 boxes. The owner of the store asks if you want to pay for the supplies now or later?
(pick one)
It's been two weeks since you've started. You worked for 3 2/3 hours for 6 days a week. You have used up 1/5 of your supplies each of those days. You ran into an old lady on the street asking for 1/8 of your money. Do you give it to her?
After saying no to the old lady, you continued down the road and get stopped by your mother. She ask for money to buy medicine for your sibling. The medicine cost 3 hours worth of work for you. Do you give your mother the money?
So, you didn't give your mom the money. Fortunately, she got the money elsewhere. Unfortunately, she kicked you out of the family so you were written out of your rich grandfather's will. (Bummer!)
...
Oh no! Would you look at the day? It's tax day! The ruler of your country is demanding everyone to pay 4/10 of what you would have if you worked 40 hours a week for a month.
The old lady thanked you for your generous gift. You continued down the road and get stopped by your mother. She ask for money to buy medicine for your sibling. The medicine cost 3 hours worth of work for you.
Do you give your mother the money?
You helped cure your sibling and your family was very grateful. Your rich grandfather decides to pass down his wealth to you. You inherit $4000. (Good for you!)

This is the end of your adventure. Please calculate how much money you have and write it on your paper. If you have less than $0, then underline your number twice. If you have more than $0, then circle your number.

Thank you.
