Students in grades 5 and 8 must take all three. Achievement levels are measured through levels of proficiency, and it differs depending on what grade a student is in. The scores are given as a 2, 3, 4, or 5. A score of 4 or 5 means that a student is proficient in the subject and on track to meet college standards and expectations.
Again, if we restrict ourselves to reversible actions only, from the desired point (5,0), there are only two reversible actions: transferring 5 liter of water from the 12-liter jug to the 8-liter jug (0,5), or filling the empty 8 liter jug to full from the tap (5,8).
At 2-year public institutions, where low-income students are more likely to pursue a degree program and tuition and fees are lower, the average estimated cost of books and supplies per first-time, full-time student was $886 in academic year 2003–2004, representing almost three-quarters of the cost of tuition and fees.
