To get admission into a school party, each football team member must pay $40. If there are 60 players on the football team and the entire team attends 8 such parties in a year, calculate the total amount of money collected in the 8 parties. | 19,200 | In one party, the total amount of money collected from the football players is $40*60= $<<40*60=2400>>2400
If eight such parties are done in a year, the total amount of money collected from the parties is $2400*8 = $<<2400*8=19200>>19200 |
A store puts out a product sample every Saturday. The last Saturday, the sample product came in boxes of 20. If they had to open 12 boxes, and they had five samples left over at the end of the day, how many customers tried a sample if the samples were limited to one per person? | 235 | The store opened 12 boxes of 20 products, so they put out 20 * 12 = <<20*12=240>>240 product samples.
They had 5 samples left over, so 240 - 5 = <<240-5=235>>235 samples were used.
Each customer could only have one sample, so 235 * 1 = <<235*1=235>>235 customers tried a sample. |

Rick has just celebrated his 15th birthday. His oldest brother is twice his age, and his middle brother is a third of the oldest brother’s age. The smallest brother is half the middle brother’s age. If the youngest brother is 2 years younger than the smallest brother, how old, in years, is the youngest brother? | 3 | Rick’s oldest brother is 15 years * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 years old.
This means the middle brother is 30 years / 3 = <<30/3=10>>10 years old.
The smallest brother is therefore 10 years / 2 = <<10/2=5>>5 years old.
So the youngest brother is 5 years – 2 years = <<5-2=3>>3 years old. |
Jennie drives to her son’s house in 5 hours when there is heavy traffic. When there is no traffic the same trip takes only 4 hours.
