Q1: 214.54 Q2: 43.27 Q3: 230.54 Q4: 74.32 Q5: 81.50 (or 81.5)
1 \( 48.7 + 165.84 \) 20 pts (10 setup, 10 calc)
¹ ¹ ¹
Key Step: Annex zero to make \(48.70\). Line up decimal points vertically. Carry 1 from hundredths to tenths, tenths to ones, and tens to hundreds.
2 \( 80.05 - 36.78 \) 20 pts (10 regrouping, 10 calc)
⁷ ⁹ ⁹ ¹⁵
Regrouping Note: Regroup across zeros from the tens column (\(80.05 \rightarrow 79.9 + 0.15\)). Hundredths: \(15 - 8 = 7\); Tenths: \(9 - 7 = 2\); Ones: \(9 - 6 = 3\); Tens: \(7 - 3 = 4\).
3 \( 94.65 + 7.8 + 128.09 \) 20 pts (8 alignment, 12 calc)
¹ ² ¹
Multi-Addend Alignment: Place \(7.80\) in correct column. Ones column sum is \(4 + 7 + 8 + 1 = 20\), carrying 2 to tens column.
4 \( 120 - 45.68 \) 20 pts (10 zeros, 10 calc)
¹ ¹ ⁹ ⁹ ¹⁰
Whole Number Regrouping: Whole number \(120\) must be written with decimal and annexed zeros (\(120.00\)). Borrow from tens to hundredths.
5 \( (68.45 + 52.8) - 39.75 \) 20 pts (10 step 1, 10 step 2)
Step 1 (+) 6 8 . 4 5
Step 2 (-) 1 2 1 . 2 5
Multi-Step: Perform parentheses first: \(68.45 + 52.80 = 121.25\). Then subtract \(39.75 = \mathbf{81.50}\) (or \(\mathbf{81.5}\)).
