At a school fair, students can win colored tokens that are worth a different number of points depending on the color. One student won $$G$$ green tokens and $$R$$ red tokens worth a total of $$380$$ points. The equation $$5G+45R=380$$ represents this situation. How many more points is a red token worth than a green token?

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. If a triangle has side lengths of $$6$$ and $$12$$, which inequality represents the possible lengths, $$x$$, of the third side of the triangle?
- $$x$$ < $$18$$

Hana deposited a fixed amount into her bank account each month. The function $$f(t)=100+25t$$ gives the amount, in dollars, in Hana's bank account after $$t$$ monthly deposits. What is the best interpretation of $$25$$ in this context?
- With each monthly deposit, the amount in Hana's bank account increased by $$\$25$$.
- Before Hana made any monthly deposits, the amount in her bank account was $$\$25$$.
- After $$1$$ monthly deposit, the amount in Hana's bank account was $$\$25$$.
- Hana made a total of $$25$$ monthly deposits.
