Solve each problem below. Describe how you solved each problem. You may refer to page 29 of your text for sample problem solving strategies.

Then imagine that you are creating a quiz for your students. Write two of the same type of questions for your students' quiz.

a. I have a jar filled with $100 worth of quarters, nickels, and dimes. I have the same amount of each type of coin. How many total coins do I have in my jar?

b. Polly Painter, Willie Wright, Dan Dancer, and Elvis Singer are a group of very talented people. Strangely enough, their names don't match their talents.

One is a painter, one is a writer, one is a dancer, and one is a singer. Your job is to figure out who is who from these clues: -Dan Dancer and Willie Wright attended a concert given by the singer. -Elvis Singer and the writer had their portraits painted by the painter.
