8C, spend as close to $25 as possible

 Kwok likes to eat. I will give $25 to buy lunch in a (ONE) fast food restaurant

- no coupon, no Uber, no buy one get one free


- spend as close to $25 as possible without going over

- cannot buy more than one of the same item

- calculate the HST (13%)

- send your answer to kwokhomework@gmail.com

- include the name of restaurant, the price of each item, and calculate the tax and total

- must be less than $25.01


Sample answer

e.g. Wok with Kwok

Sweet and Sour Chicken $12.05

Shrimp Fried Rice $8.07

Spring Roll $2.00

Water Free


Total food 12.05+8.07+2.00 = $22.12

Tax 22.12 x 0.13 = $2.88

Total payable 22.12 + 2.88 = $25.00

    Common Corrosive substances in your home: bleach, toilet bowl cleaner, vinegar

  • corrode or burn skin (can bleed or get infected easily)

  • Don’t drink vinegar (it corrodes your stomach lining), but you can add to fries and other food

  • If you put bleach directly on a shirt, it will make a hole in the shirt within an hour

  • Usually, people dilute bleach with water first before putting it into the washing machine (1 part bleach, 5+ parts water)



  • Compressed gas cylinder: if it is dropped to the ground or the top cap is loosened or broken, it will fly like a rocket. This will break doors, walls and your legs.

  • These gas cylinders must be securely placed so that they don’t drop onto the floor.

  • Some patients need oxygen tanks to supply oxygen for them to breathe.



  • Biohazard materials: used syringes contain small droplets of blood (which can carry diseases, viruses, drugs and other funny things)

  • Next time when you go and get a flu/COVID shot, your doctor puts the used syringe in a yellow box, and the box has the biohazard label. 

  • These syringes will be incinerated

  • Never pick up a used syringe from the park or parking lot. Tell a caretaker or teacher if you see one from the schoolyard
