How many more weeks does she need to ...
16
Since barbara needs $100, and she currently has $20, she is remaining with $100-$20 = $<<100-20=80>>80 to save With an allowance of $5 each week, she'll need to save for 80/5 = 16 weeks
Liam and Claire picked and sold oranges to save for their mother's birthday gift. Liam picked 40 oranges and sold them at $2.50 for 2 while Claire picked 30 oranges and sold them at $1.20 each. If all of their oranges were sold, how much are they going to save for their mother's birthday gift?
86
Liam sold 40/2 = <<40/2=20>>20 sets of oranges that cost $2.50 for each set. So, Liam earned $2.50 x 20 = $<<2.5*20=50>>50. Claire earned $1.20 x 30 = $<<1.20*30=36>>36. Thus, they were able to save $50 + $36 = $<<50+36=86>>86 for their mother's birthday gift.
John weighs one-quarter times more than what Mary weighs. Mary weighs 20 lbs less than Jamison's weight. If Mary weighs 160 lbs, what's the combined weight of the three?

Heather helps her neighbour pick weeds out of her garden. She gets paid 5 cents for every weed she picks. On average, how many seconds can she take to pick a weed if she wants to earn $10 an hour?
18
In an hour, she needs to earn $10 * 100 cents / $1 = <<10*100=1000>>1000 cents. In an hour, she must pick 1000 cents / 5 cents = <<1000/5=200>>200 weeds. There are 1hr * (60 minutes / 1 hr) = <<1*60=60>>60 minutes in an hour. There are 60 minutes * (60 seconds / 1 minute) = <<60*(60/1)=3600>>3600 seconds in an hour. Sh...
Betty is growing parsnips in her vegetable garden. When the parsnips are grown, they are harvested and bundled into boxes that can hold up to 20 parsnips each. Each harvest, three-quarters of the boxes are full, and the remaining boxes are half-full. She gets an average of 20 boxes each harvest. How many parsnips does ...
350
If three-quarters of the boxes are full, then 1 – ¾ = ¼ of the boxes are half-full. On average, each harvest therefore has 20 boxes * 0.25 = <<20*0.25=5>>5 boxes that are half-full. This leaves 20 total boxes – 5 half-full boxes = <<20-5=15>>15 full boxes. Half-full boxes hold 20 parsnips / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 parsnips e...

400 adults and 200 children go to a Broadway show. The price of an adult ticket is twice that of a child's ticket. What is the price of an adult ticket if the total amount collected is $16,000?
32
Let X be the price of a child ticket. So the price of an adult ticket is X*2. We know from the problem that 400*X*2 + 200*X = 16,000. After multiplying, we have 800*X+ 200*X = 16,000. Combining like terms, we have 1000* X = 16,000. Dividing both sides by 1000, we have X = $16. The price of an adult ticket is $16 * 2 = ...

A cheetah can run at a top speed of 60 mph. The gazelle can run for speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. If one mile per hour is about 1.5 feet per second, then how many seconds would it take for a cheetah traveling at top speed to catch up to a fleeing gazelle also running at top speed if the two animals were initiall...
7
60 mph is 60*1.5=<<60*1.5=90>>90 feet per second. 40 mph is 40*1.5=<<40*1.5=60>>60 feet per second. Thus, for every second, the cheetah advances on the gazelle by 90-60=<<90-60=30>>30 feet per second. To close on a distance of 200 feet, it would take the cheetah 210/30=7 seconds to catch the gazelle.

First find how much barbecue sauce Jack makes by adding the volume of each ingredient: 3 cups + 1 cup + 1 cup = <<3+1+1=5>>5 cups Then multiply the number of pulled pork sandwiches by the amount of sauce per sandwich to find the total amount used: 1/6 cup/sandwich * 18 sandwiches = <<1/6*18=3>>3 cups Then subtract this...
Anna spent 1/4 of her money, and now she has $24 left. How much did she have originally?
32
Let X be the amount Anna had originally. She spent X*1/4 and has X - X*1/4 = $24 left. Combining like terms, we get X*3/4 = $24. Dividing both sides by 3/4, we get X = $32.
A store decides to shut down and sell all of its inventory. They have 2000 different items which would normally retail for $50. They are offering an 80% discount and manage to sell 90% of the items. They owed $15000 to their creditors. How much money do they have left after the sale?
3,000
They sold 2000*.9=<<2000*.9=1800>>1800 items They offered a 50*.8=$<<50*.8=40>>40 discount That means that each item sold for 50-40=$<<50-40=10>>10 So they made 1800*10=$<<1800*10=18000>>18,000 So they had 18,000-15,000=$<<18000-15000=3000>>3,000 leftover
Today Geoff bought 2 pairs of sneakers and spent $60 equally between the two. Tomorrow, he's going to spend 4 times as much on sneakers than he did on Monday. Wednesday, he'll spend 5 times as much on sneakers than he did on Monday. How much will Geoff spend on sneakers over these three days?
600
Tomorrow Geoff will spend 60*4 = <<60*4=240>>240 dollars. Wednesday Geoff will spend 60*5 = <<60*5=300>>300 dollars. Total spent in three days is 60+240+300 = <<60+240+300=600>>600 dollars.
The total mask production was doubled every month by a company after the outbreak of Coronavirus due to increased demand. If the company produced 3000 masks in March, calculate the total mask production of July.
48,000
If in March the company produced 3000 masks, in April, after doubling the total mask production, the company produced 3000*2= <<3000*2=6000>>6000 masks. In May, the company doubled its total mask production to 2*6000 = 12000 After doubling the production for June, the company was able to produce 2*12000 = <<2*12000=240...
Next year, there will be twice as many people going to the fair as are going this year, and the number of people who went to the fair last year was 200 less than those going next year. If the number of people going to the fair this year is 600, calculate the number of people at the fair in the three years.
2,800
If there are 600 people at the fair this year, the number going to the fair next year is 2*600 = <<2*600=1200>>1200. The number of people at the fair this year and the ones going next year totals 1200+600 = <<1200+600=1800>>1800 The number of people who went to that fair last year was 200 less than those going next yea...
