  1. A discount, then sales tax

    An everyday prompt: “A discount, then sales tax”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 66: right.

    Discounted price: $80 × 0.75 = $60  
    Sales tax: $60 × 0.10 = $6  
    Total: $60 + $6 = $66
    
    Final answer: $66

  2. Pens at 3 for $4

    An everyday prompt: “Pens at 3 for $4”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer Buy three 3-for- 4 bundles and one single pen; total 13.50.: right.

    Buy in 3-for-$4 bundles where possible:
    - 10 pens = 3 bundles (9 pens) + 1 single pen
    - 3 × $4 = $12, plus $1.50 = $13.50
    
    Final answer: Buy three 3-for-$4 bundles and one single pen; total $13.50.

  3. Compound interest over three years

    An everyday prompt: “Compound interest over three years”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 315.25: right.

    Amount after 3 years = $2,000 × (1.05)^3 = $2,000 × 1.157625 = $2,315.25  
    Interest earned = $2,315.25 − $2,000 = $315.25
    
    Final answer: $315.25

  4. Four-digit numbers whose digits sum to 9

    A hard prompt: “Four-digit numbers whose digits sum to 9”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 165: right.

    Let the four-digit number be \(abcd\), with \(a \in \{1,\dots,9\}\) and \(b,c,d \in \{0,\dots,9\}\).
    
    We need
    \[
    a+b+c+d=9.
    \]
    Set \(a'=a-1\), so \(a'\ge 0\). Then
    \[
    a'+b+c+d=8.
    \]
    The number of nonnegative integer solutions is
    \[
    \binom{8+4-1}{4-1}=\binom{11}{3}=165.
    \]
    
    Final answer: 165

  5. The highest of three dice is a 5

    A hard prompt: “The highest of three dice is a 5”, in full.

    Passed: Final answer 61/216: right.

    The highest die is exactly 5 means:
    
    - All three dice show 5 or less: \(5^3 = 125\) outcomes
    - Subtract outcomes where all dice show 4 or less: \(4^3 = 64\)
    
    So favorable outcomes:
    
    \[
    125 - 64 = 61
    \]
    
    Total outcomes:
    
    \[
    6^3 = 216
    \]
    
    Probability:
    
    \[
    \frac{61}{216}
    \]
    
    Final answer: 61/216
