Kelly sank down into a seat at the back of the subway car, glad for the chance to rest a bit after a hectic day. Derrick, her 2-year-old son, squirmed on her lap as the ride began. He soon settled down, however, apparently fascinated with their surroundings, and before long she was dozing. Mistake! Suddenly the child leaped from her lap and charged down the aisle, giggling at the trick he’d played on his mom. By the time Kelly was fully awake and had started running after him, he was 6 yards ahead of her. Relative to the track outside, Derrick was moving at 33 mph, and Kelly was moving at 35 mph (the train’s speed was 30 mph). How long did it take her to catch Derrick? How far from her seat were they when she caught him?

Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?

At the elementary school, the fourth graders Jamal and Dinah are still eating lunch as they come into math class. Someone has left a book on the floor and they both trip. As they each hit the floor, the food they are carrying flies across the room directly toward Harold, who is showing off his latest dance moves. As Jamal and Dinah watch in horror, Jamal’s cupcake and Dinah’s sandwich splat right on top of Harold’s head! Jamal’s cupcake flies on a path that would have landed on the floor 22 feet away from him if it had not hit Harold. Dinah’s sandwich flies on a path that would have landed on the floor 26 feet away from her if it had not hit Harold. Jamal’s cupcake flies 8 feet high, while Dinah’s sandwich reaches a height of 5 feet before hitting Harold. How tall is Harold? Once you have the equations, you may use Desmos to help find the answer. This question uses a numeric answer. Type in just the number part answer (no letters!) and round to 2 decimals.
