For the following problems refer to this scenario and the tables below.  The first table shows the teams with the three best records HALFWAY through baseball season.  The second table shows the records for the three teams at the END of the season.

11) Which set of matrices correctly displays the data in each table? 

12) What were the records for the second half of the season and which team had the best second-half season record?  Express the answer in the form of a matrix stating the elements of each row, and then state the team that had the best second-half season record.
 
Hint:  To find the records for the second half of the season, subtract.  (End – Halfway)

Refer to this scenario to answer the following problems.  The track team sold t-shirts, sweatshirts and sweat pants for a fundraiser.  T-shirts cost $12, sweatshirts cost $20 and sweatpants cost $15.  The following table shows the amount of each item sold in the first two weeks.

21) Which set of matrices correctly displays a matrix for the data in the table and a second matrix that can be used to multiply each item in the first matrix times the corresponding prices?  

22) Using matrix multiplication, calculate the amount raised each week.  What was amount raised each week and what was the total amount raised?
