The following question is VERBATIM what the 10th grade Math 1A Regents students encountered today. For those of you not from New York State, the Regents level is above the standard level but below Honors.
Robin spent $17 at an amusement park for admission and rides. If she paid $5 for admission, and rides cost $3 each, what is the total number of rides she went on? 1) 12 2) 2 3) 9 4) 4 Could we possibly dumb down our tests any more?
