This question is easier to solve if you convert the feet into seconds. Since the biker travels 5 feet in half a second, he travels 10 feet per second. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiply 10 feet by 60 to get 600 feet per minute.

1. Two oranges and nine brownies
   Eight oranges
2. Three oranges and six brownies
   Four oranges and six brownies

To get this answer, you need to do a process of elimination. Since the first answer has nine brownies (or $9.00) you already know that answer is over $8.25. Eight oranges alone will not be enough to reach $8.25, so eliminate the second answer. The next answer is correct, because six brownies are $6.00 and three oranges are $2.25, which together equal $8.25.
