Nabu's Knee-knockerNabu's Knee-knocker



This story is about Discount Daisy's book prices. The numbers in the "pond" (at the right) all belong in the story. Fill in the blanks with numbers from the pond so that the story makes sense. Put each number from the pond in just one blank, and use only the numbers from the pond.

Discount Daisy's sells books for
        % off their list price. "Half Magic"
lists for $         . At Discount Daisy's
the price of this book is $         less
than the list price, so it sells for $        .
Marvin gives the clerk $         to pay for one
copy of "Half Magic." The book costs $        
with tax, so Marvin gets $         in change.
