✔ Problem 1:
> Each student in the class gets given a set of school supplies. They get a pencil costing $0.10, a pen costing $0.17, an eraser costing $0.04 and a ruler costing $0.08. How much does the set cost for each student?
Solution:
We need to
add all the individual costs together.

Pen: $0.17
Eraser: $0.04
Ruler: $0.08
-------------------
Total: $0.39
```

✔ Problem 2:
> The sugar bowl has 0.2kg of sugar in it. If you can get 10 spoons out of a bowl, how much sugar is in each spoon?
Solution:
We need to
divide the total amount of sugar by the number of spoons.
```
0.2 kg ÷ 10 = 0.02 kg per spoon
```
Answer: 0.02 kg
*(Note: This could also be expressed as 20 grams, since 1 kg = 1000 g → 0.02 kg = 20 g, but since the question uses kg, we keep it in kg.)*

✔ Problem 3:
> A container is filled up with 0.8L of water. If you drank 0.09L of water from the container, how much would be left over?
Solution:
We need to
subtract the amount drunk from the original amount.
```
0.8 L - 0.09 L = 0.71 L
```
Answer: 0.71 L

✔ Problem 4:
> Each strawberry in a box costs $0.15. How much would a box of 25 cost?
Solution:
We need to
multiply the cost per strawberry by the number of strawberries.
```
$0.15 × 25 = ?
```
Break it down:
- 0.15 × 20 = 3.00
- 0.15 × 5 = 0.75
- Total = 3.00 + 0.75 =
$3.75
Or directly:
```
0.15 × 25 = 3.75
```
Answer: $3.75
