The bank manager does not know the sizes of the individual boxes, but he does know the dimensions of the entire wall. What are the dimensions of each box?

Eurotrip (Adding Decimals with Money)
Li and Sara, exchange students living in Paris, are planning their trip through Spain. Traveling around Europe by train is one of the best and most affordable options, especially if you can get student discounts. On the train ride from Paris to Madrid, they take out a map that shows all the discounted prices for their travels between the cities they want to visit. If their trip has to start and end in Madrid, what is the cheapest route to take?
Extension: Add more people to the trip. Buy one, get one free discount. Special birthday trip: Multiple people go on the trip, but the cost is divided by one person less (the birthday person doesn't pay).

Everest
Welcome to Basecamp on Mount Everest. Let's talk about how we are going to reach the summit. There are various camps on the two routes to the summit. To reach the top of Everest and not succumb to altitude sickness, we must climb the mountain in several stages. From Basecamp we will ascend to camps 1, 2, and 3 and descend back to Basecamp after reaching each camp. Once we have done all 3 rotations, our bodies will be ready for your final ascend to the summit. What is the total distance we will have ascended and descended when we reach the summit of Everest?
