Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism

We had our annual combined Lunch & Learn with the Milaca Area Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. We always have so much fun getting together with our neighbors to the north! After eating a delicious lunch from Teal's Market, Megan from First National Bank of Milaca put together a fun scavenger hunt game at Rec Park. All the teams did such a great job and were all so fun and creative! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it and to the Milaca Area Chamber of Commerce for hosting us!

How did you do??

Answers:

Day one:
You have $200, spend $25% of your savings at Marv's. You find a tool for $40, and it's 25% off. After the sale, how much money will you have left in your savings?
Answer: $170
Math: 25% of $200 = $50
$40 tool is 25% off. You pay $30
$200 - $30 = $170

Day two:
"After grabbing some fudge, he headed to Fabulous Finds Old & New, where he finally found the perfect treasure to take home."
Which word in the sentence is an adjective?
Answer: perfect

Day three:
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen during photosynthesis. Which statement is TRUE?
B. Plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Day four:
At a Princeton VFW or American Legion event, you may hear the Pledge of Allegiance. What does the word "indivisible" in the Pledge of Allegiance mean?
Answer: B - Unable to be divided

Day five:
You have $500 saved at Sherburne State Bank. You purchase a $120 pair of shoes at Hierlinger's, but they are 25% off. You spend $45 at Chapala for lunch and $85 for a repair at Rum River Auto. How much money do you have left?

Answer: $280
Math: Hierlinger's $120 - 25% = $90, Chapala, $45, Rum River Auto, $85
Total spent: $90 + $45 + $85 = $220
$500 - $220 = $280

Thanks for playing!
