Out of the 300 comic books in a comic store, 30% are liked by females, males like 120, and both genders don't like the rest. What percentage of the comic books are disliked by both males and females?
|
The number of comic books that females like is 30/100*300=<<30/100*300=90>>90 books
Together, both males and females like 90+120=<<90+120=210>>210 comic books.
The number of comic books that are disliked by both males and females is 300-210=<<300-210=90>>90
The percentage of books that are disliked by both genders is 90/300*100=<<90/300*100=30>>30%

John starts a TV show. He pays $1000 per episode for the first half of the season. The second half of the season had episodes that cost 120% more expensive. If there are 22 episodes how much did the entire season cost?
|
The season is broken up into 22/2=<<22/2=11>>11 episode based on cost
The first 11 episodes cost 11*1000=$<<11*1000=11000>>11,000
The next set of episodes cost 1000*1.2=$<<1000*1.2=1200>>1200 more per episode
So they cost 1000+1200=$<<1000+1200=2200>>2200 each
So in total they cost 2200*11=$<<2200*11=24200>>24200
So in total the season cost 24200+11000=$<<24200+11000=35200>>35,200

A rectangle has a length of 40 meters and a width of 20 meters. A similar smaller rectangle has half the length and width of the big rectangle. What's the area of the smaller rectangle?
|
The length of the smaller rectangle is 1/2*40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 meters.
The width of the smaller rectangle is 1/2*20 = <<1/2*20=10>>10 meters.
Since the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width, the total area of the smaller rectangle is 20*10 = <<20*10=200>>200 meters square.

Jason is making pasta. He fills the pot with 41 degree water. Each minute the temperature of the water increases by 3 degrees. Once the water reaches 212 degrees and is boiling, Jason needs to cook his pasta for 12 minutes. Then it will take him 1/3 that long to mix the pasta with the sauce and make a salad. How many minutes does it take Jason to cook dinner?
|
First find how many degrees the temperature of the water needs to increase: 212 degrees - 41 degrees = <<212-41=171>>171 degrees
Then divide that amount by the number of degrees the water temperature increases each minute to find how long it takes the water to boil: 171 degrees / 3 degrees/minute = <<171/3=57>>57 minutes
Now figure out how long it takes to mix the pasta and make salad by dividing the pasta cook time by 3: 12 minutes / 3 = <<12/3=4>>4 minutes
Now add the boiling time, cook time, and mixing time to find the total time it takes to make dinner: 57 minutes + 4 minutes + 12 minutes = <<57+4+12=73>>73 minutes

Billy's mom sends him to get ketchup. She gives him $10 and tells him to get the best deal on ketchup that he can and to spend all $10 on ketchup. He finds a bottle with 10 oz that cost $1 each. He finds a bottle that costs $2 that contains 16 ounces. He finds a bottle with 25 ounces that costs $2.5. He finds a $5 bottle that contains 50 ounces. Finally, he finds a $10 bottle with 200 ounces. How many bottles of ketchup does he buy?
|
The 10 ounce bottle costs $.1 an ounce because 1 / 10 = <<1/10=.1>>.1
The 16 ounce bottle costs $.125 an ounce because 2 / 12 = .125
The 25 ounce bottle costs $.125 an ounce because 2.5 / 20 = <<2.5/20=.125>>.125
The 50 ounce bottle costs $.1 an ounce because 5 / 50 = <<5/50=.1>>.1
The 200 ounce bottle cost $.05 an ounce because 10 / 200 = <<10/200=.05>>.05
The 200 ounce bottle is the cheapest per ounce because .05 < .08 < .1 < .125
He buys 1 bottle of ketchup because 10 / 10 = <<10/10=1>>1

Janet is getting paid to moderate social media posts. She gets paid 25 cents per post she checks. If it takes her 10 seconds to check a post, how much does she earn per hour?
|
First find the number of seconds in an hour: 1 hour * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = <<1*60*60=3600>>3600 seconds/hour.
Then divide the total number of seconds per hour by the number of seconds it takes Janet to read one post: 3600 seconds/hour / 10 seconds/post = <<3600/10=360>>360 posts/hour.
Then multiply the number of posts she checks per hour by her pay per post to find her hourly pay: $0.25/post * 360 posts/hour = $<<0.25*360=90>>90/hour.

In the city park, there are various attractions for kids and their parents. The entrance ticket to the park is $5, but for each attraction, you have to pay separately - such ticket costs $2 for kids and $4 for parents. How much would a family with 4 children, their parents, and her grandmother pay for visiting the park, and one attraction inside?
|
The whole family consists of 4 + 2 + 1 = <<4+2+1=7>>7 persons.
The entrance ticket to the park costs the same for every person, so the family would need to pay 7 * 5 = $<<7*5=35>>35 to enter.
For visiting the attraction the tickets would cost 4 * 2 = $<<4*2=8>>8 for the kids.
Their parents and grandmother would need to pay 3 * 4 = $<<3*4=12>>12.
That means a total cost for the family standing at 35 + 8 + 12 = $<<35+8+12=55>>55.

John used to go to the gym multiple times a weak but because of lockdowns he hasn't been able to go. He used to lift 700 for squat, 400 for bench, and 800 for deadlift. For squat he lost 30% of his lift. He didn't lose any weight on bench because he was able to train that at home and he lost 200 pounds on deadlift. What is his new total?
|
He lost 700*.3=<<700*.3=210>>210 pounds on squat
So his squat is now 700-210=<<700-210=490>>490 pounds
His deadlift is 800-200=<<800-200=600>>600 pounds
So his total is now 490+600+400=<<490+600+400=1490>>1490 pounds

Two runners are competing in a 10-mile race. The first runs at an average pace of 8 minutes per mile, while the second runs at an average pace of 7 minutes per mile. After 56 minutes, the second runner stops for a drink of water. For how many minutes could the second runner remain stopped before the first runner catches up with him?
|
After 56 minutes, the second runner has traveled 56/7 = <<56/7=8>>8 miles.
Similarly, the first runner has traveled 56/8 = <<56/8=7>>7 miles.
Therefore, the two runners are 8 - 7 = <<8-7=1>>1 mile apart when the second runner stops.
Thus, the second runner can stop for a maximum of 8 minutes, which is the amount of time it takes the first runner to travel 1 mile.

Parker wants to find out what the average percentage of kernels that pop in a bag is. In the first bag he makes, 60 kernels pop and the bag has 75 kernels. In the second bag, 42 kernels pop and there are 50 in the bag. In the final bag, 82 kernels pop and the bag has 100 kernels.
|
In the first bag the proportion that pops is .8 because 60 / 75 = <<60/75=.8>>.8
In the second bag the proportion that pops is .84 because 42 / 50 = <<42/50=.84>>.84
In the third bag the proportion that pops is .82 because 82 / 100 = <<82/100=.82>>.82
The proportions totals 2.46 because .8 + . 84 + .82 = <<.8+.84+.82=2.46>>2.46
The average proportion is .82 because 2.46 / 3 = <<2.46/3=.82>>.82
The average percentage is 82 because .82 x 100 = <<.82*100=82>>82

Angela has a collection of 24 pieces of rare action figures. She sold off a quarter of them at the pawnshop and gave one-third of the remainder to her daughter. How many does she have left?
|
One-quarter of 24 action figures is 24*(1/4) = <<24*(1/4)=6>>6
She sold off 6 action figures so she has 24-6 = <<24-6=18>>18 left
One-third of 18 is 18*(1/3) = <<18*(1/3)=6>>6
She gave out 6 so she has 18-6 = <<18-6=12>>12 left

At the end of a circus act, there are 12 dogs on stage. Half of the dogs are standing on their back legs and the other half are standing on all 4 legs. How many dog paws are on the ground?
|
There are 12 dogs and half are standing on their back legs so that means 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 are standing on their back legs
A dog has 2 back legs and only 6 are standing on their back legs meaning that there are 2*6 = <<2*6=12>>12 paws on the ground
The other 6 dogs are standing on all 4 legs which means these 6 dogs have 6*4 = <<6*4=24>>24 paws on the ground
When you add them together 12+24 = <<12+24=36>>36 paws on the ground

James has 20 years of experience. 8 years ago John had twice as much experience as James. Mike started when John had 16 years of experience. What is their combined experience?
|
8 years ago James had 20-8=<<20-8=12>>12 years
So 8 years ago John had 12*2=24 years experience
That means John has 24+8=<<24+8=32>>32 years experience
So Mike has 32-16=<<32-16=16>>16 years of experience
So together they have 20+32+16=<<20+32+16=68>>68 years experience

Harper drinks a 1/2 bottle of mineral water per day. She buys the mineral water by the case at a big box store. They come 24 bottles to a case and are currently on sale for $12.00. If she wants to buy enough cases to last her 240 days, how much will she spend?
|
She drinks 1/2 bottle a day and there are 24 bottles in a case so a case will last 24/.5 = <<24/.5=48>>48 days
She needs enough to last her 240 days and 1 case will last her 48 days so she needs 240/48 = <<240/48=5>>5 cases
Each case is on sale for $12.00 and she needs 5 cases so that's 12*5 = $<<12*5=60.00>>60.00

Ashley had already blown up 12 balloons for the party when Andy took over and started blowing them up at a rate of 2 every five minutes. When Andy stopped, there were 50 balloons. For how many minutes did Andy blow up balloons?
|
Andy blew up 50 balloons – the 12 balloons Ashley blew up = <<50-12=38>>38 balloons.
We know how long it took Andy to blow up 2 balloons, so 38 balloons / 2 = <<38/2=19>>19 time increments.
We know the time increment is 5 minutes, so 19 x 5 minutes = <<19*5=95>>95 minutes.

Ella has 4 bags with 20 apples in each bag and six bags with 25 apples in each bag. If Ella sells 200 apples, how many apples does Ella has left?
|
4 bags have 4 x 20 = <<4*20=80>>80 apples.
And, six bags have 6 x 25 = <<6*25=150>>150 apples.
Thus, Ella has 80 + 150 = <<80+150=230>>230 apples in all.
Therefore, Ella has 230 - 200 = <<230-200=30>>30 apple left.

Billy buys a 12 pack of soda from the store. If he has twice as many brothers as sisters, and he has 2 sisters, how many sodas can he give to each of his siblings if he wants to give out the entire 12 pack while giving each the same number?
|
First, we need to determine how many siblings Billy has. To do this, we perform 2*2= <<2*2=4>>4 brothers, as he has 2 sisters and twice as many brothers as sisters.
Then we divide the total number of sodas in the 12 pack, which is 12, by the number of siblings, performing 12/6=<<12/6=2>>2 cans per person.

One US cup equals 250ml. Brian is making lasagna for himself, his wife, his two kids, his parents, and his wife's parents. The recipe requires 1/2 a cup of milk per serving. How many 1L cartons of milk does Brian need to buy if each person is expected to eat 2 servings?
|
There will be a total of (1) Brian + (1) Brian's wife + (2) two kids + (2) Brian's parents + (2) Brian's in-laws = 1+1+2+2+2= <<1+1+2+2+2=8>>8 people eating
If 1 person eats 2 serving of lasagna then 8 people will eat 8 * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 servings
If each serving requires 1/2 cup of milk then 16 servings require 16 * 1/2 cups = <<16*1/2=8>>8 cups of milk
If one cup of milk equals 250 ml, then 8 cups of milk equal 8 * 250 = <<8*250=2000>>2000 ml of milk
1L carton of milk equals 1000ml of milk, therefore Brian needs 2000/1000 = <<2000/1000=2>>2 cartons of 1L milk

|
Her son has 3 teachers and her daughter has 4, so together they have 3+4 = <<3+4=7>>7 teachers
Harper has already spent $70 on 7 gifts, so she spent $70/7 = $<<70/7=10>>10 per gift

The population of an area starts at 100,000 people. It increases by 60% over 10 years due to birth. In that same time, 2000 people leave per year from emigration and 2500 people come in per year from immigration. How many people are in the area at the end of 10 years?
|
The population increased by 100000*.6=<<100000*.6=60000>>60,000 from births
They lost 2000*10=<<2000*10=20000>>20,000 people from emigration
They gained 2500*10=<<2500*10=25000>>25,000 people from immigration
That means the net increase from people moving was 25000-20000=<<25000-20000=5000>>5,000
So the total population is 100,000+60,000+5,000=<<100000+60000+5000=165000>>165,000

Maci is planning for the new school year and goes to the store to buy pens. She needs ten blue pens and 15 red pens. If a blue pen costs ten cents each and a red pen costs twice as much as the blue pen, how much money does Maci pay for the pens?
|
Maci pays 10 * $0.10 = $<<10*0.10=1>>1 for the blue pens.
Each red pen costs 2*$0.10 = $<<2*0.10=0.20>>0.20
She pays 15*$0.20 = $<<15*0.20=3.00>>3.00 for the red pens.
To buy all the pens she needs, Maci pays $3+$1= $<<3+1=4>>4

Allen is 25 years younger than his mother. In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 41. What is the present age of Allen's mother?
|
In 3 years, the sum of their present ages will be added by 3 (from Allen) + 3 (from her mother) = <<3+3=6>>6.
So, the sum of their present ages is 41 - 6 = <<41-6=35>>35.
Let x be the present age of Allen's mother and x - 25 be the present age of Allen.
So the equation using the sum of their present ages is x + x - 25 = 35.
By combining like terms, the equation becomes 2x = 60.
Hence, Allen's mother is x = 60/2 = <<60/2=30>>30 years old now.

Carl is figuring out how much he'll need to spend on gas for his upcoming road trip to the Grand Canyon. His car gets 30 miles per gallon in cities and 40 miles per gallon on the highway. The distance from his house to the Grand Canyon, one way, is 60 city miles and 200 highway miles. If gas costs $3.00 per gallon, how much will Carl need to spend?
|
First figure out how many city miles Carl will drive round trip by multiplying the one-way number of city miles by 2: 60 miles * 2 = <<60*2=120>>120 miles
Then figure out how many highway miles Carl will drive round trip by multiplying the one-way number of highway miles by 2: 200 miles * 2 = <<200*2=400>>400 miles
Now divide the round-trip number of city miles by the number of city miles per gallon Carl's car gets: 120 miles / 30 mpg = <<120/30=4>>4 gallons
Now divide the round-trip number of highway miles by the number of highway miles per gallon Carl's car gets: 400 miles / 40 mpg = <<400/40=10>>10 gallons
Now add the gallons for the highway miles and the city miles to find the total number of gallons Carl needs to buy: 10 gallons + 4 gallons = <<10+4=14>>14 gallons
Finally, multiply the number of gallons Carl needs to buy by the cost per gallon to find out how much he spends: 14 gallons * $3.00 = $<<14*3=42.00>>42.00

Lizzy had $30. She loaned out $15 to her friend. How much will Lizzy have if her friend returned the money with an interest of 20%?
|
Initially, Lizzy had $30; she loaned out $15 so she has $30-$15 = $<<30-15=15>>15 left
Her friend is returning the $15 with 20% interest for a total of $15+($15*(20/100)) = $<<15+15*(20/100)=18>>18
Lizzy will now have $15+$18 = $<<15+18=33>>33

Brendan makes $6/hour as a waiter. He's scheduled for 2 8-hour shifts and 1 12-hour shift this week. He also makes an average of $12 in tips each hour. Brendan is supposed to pay 20% of his income in taxes, but he only reports 1/3rd of his tips to the IRS. How much money does Brendan pay in taxes each week?
|
First find the total number of hours Brendan works for the 8-hour shifts: 2 shifts * 8 hours/shift = <<2*8=16>>16 hours
Then find the total number of hours Brendan works by adding those hours to the 12-hour shift: 16 hours + 12 hours = <<16+12=28>>28 hours
Now find Brendan's total wage earnings by multiplying his $6/hour wage by the number of hours he works: $6/hour * 28 hours = $<<6*28=168>>168/week
Now figure out how much Brendan makes in tips by multiplying the number of hours he works by the amount of tips he makes per hour: $12/hour * 28 hours/week = $<<12*28=336>>336/week
Now divide that number by 3, since Brendan only reports a third of his tips: $336/week / 3 = $<<336/3=112>>112/week
Now add Brendan's wage earnings to that number to find how much income he reports to the IRS each week: $168/week + $112/week = $<<168+112=280>>280/week
Finally, multiply Brendan's reported income by his tax rate to find how much he pays in taxes each week: $280/week * .2 = $<<280*.2=56>>56/week

Linda was going to pass out homemade cookies to each of her 24 classmates on the last day of school. She wanted to give each student 10 cookies and wanted to make chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. Each cookie recipe made exactly 4 dozen cookies. She was able to make 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies before running out of chocolate chips. She made 1 batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. How many more batches of cookies does Linda need to bake?
|
She has 24 classmates and wants to give each 10 cookies, so she needs to bake 24*10=<<24*10=240>>240 cookies
Each batch makes 4 dozen cookies so that means each batch has 4*12 = <<4*12=48>>48 cookies
She baked 2 batches of chocolate chip and one batch of oatmeal raisin so 2+1 = <<2+1=3>>3 batches
We know that each batch has 48 cookies so 3*48 = <<3*48=144>>144 cookies have been baked
She needs to have 240 cookies and has baked 144 so 240-144 = <<240-144=96>>96 cookies are needed
Again, each batch makes 48 cookies and we need 96 more cookies so 96/48 = <<96/48=2>>2 more batches are needed

A special school for deaf and blind students has a deaf student population three times the size of blind student population. If the number of deaf students is 180, how many students are there altogether?
|
Call the number of blind students b. There are 180 deaf students, which is three times the number of blind students, so 3b = 180
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/3 gives b = (1/3)*180 = <<(1/3)*180=60>>60
The total number of students is 180 + 60 = <<180+60=240>>240

Fiona and Casey share the hoodies they own. Between the two of them, they own eight hoodies. Casey owns two more than Fiona. How many hoodies does Fiona own?
|
Let H be the number of hoodies Fiona owns.
Casey owns H + 2 hoodies.
Together, they own H + H + 2 = 2H + 2 = 8 hoodies.
Thus, 2H = 8 - 2 = 6 hoodies.
Therefore, Fiona owns H = 6 / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3 hoodies.

Central Park had 8 more than half of the number of trash cans as in Veteran's Park. Then one night, someone took half of the trash cans from Central Park and put them in Veteran's Park. If originally there were 24 trash cans in Veteran's Park, how many trash cans are now in Veteran's Park?
|
Half the original number of trash cans in Veteran's Park is 24/2=<<24/2=12>>12 trash cans.
Thus Central Park originally had 8 more than half the number of trash cans as what was originally in Veteran's Park, or 12+8=<<8+12=20>>20 trash cans.
Half of the trash cans from Central Park is 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 trash cans.
After the addition of the 10 new cans, there are now 24+10=<<24+10=34>>34 trash cans in Veteran's Park.

After tests in California, the total number of Coronavirus cases was recorded as 2000 positive cases on a particular day. The number of cases increased by 500 on the second day, with 50 recoveries. On the third day, the total number of new cases spiked to 1500 with 200 recoveries. What's the total number of positive cases after the third day?
|
When 500 new cases were recorded after the tests, the total number of positive cases increased to 2000 cases + 500 cases = <<2000+500=2500>>2500 cases.
With 50 recoveries, the total number of cases reduced to 2500 cases - 50 cases = <<2500-50=2450>>2450 cases.
On the third day, with 1500 new cases, the total number of cases became 2450 cases + 1500 cases = <<2450+1500=3950>>3950 cases.
If 200 people recovered from the virus, the total number of people with Coronavirus became 3950 cases - 200 cases = 3750 cases

|
She has mowed 900 square feet because 3 x 20 x 15 = <<3*20*15=900>>900
She has earned $90 because 900 x .1 = <<900*.1=90>>90
She has to earn $60 more dollars because 150 - 90 = <<150-90=60>>60
She has to mow 600 more square feet of lawns because 60 / .1 = <<60/.1=600>>600

Amaya scored 20 marks fewer in Maths than she scored in Arts. She also got 10 marks more in Social Studies than she got in Music. If she scored 70 in Music and scored 1/10 less in Maths, what's the total number of marks she scored in all the subjects?
|
The total marks Amaya scored more in Music than in Maths is 1/10 * 70 = <<1/10*70=7>>7 marks.
So the total marks she scored in Maths is 70 - 7 = <<70-7=63>>63 marks.
If she scored 20 marks fewer in Maths than in Arts, then he scored 63 + 20 = <<63+20=83>>83 in Arts.
If she scored 10 marks more in Social Studies than in Music, then she scored 70 + 10 = <<10+70=80>>80 marks in Social Studies.
The total number of marks for all the subjects is 70 + 63 + 83 + 80 = <<70+63+83+80=296>>296 marks.

Keanu was surfing towards the shore at a speed of 20 miles per hour. A shark was swimming alongside him, riding the same wave, when it doubled its speed and moved away from Keanu. There was a pilot fish swimming alongside Keanu and the shark, and when the shark increased its speed, the pilot fish also increased its speed and moved away from Keanu, but only increasing its speed by half as much as the shark had increased its speed by. What speed, in miles per hour, was the pilot fish swimming when it moved away from Keanu?
|
The shark went from 20 miles per hour to a speed of 2*20=40 miles per hour.
The shark increased its speed by 40-20=<<40-20=20>>20 miles per hour.
Half of the shark's increase in speed is 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 miles per hour.
Thus the pilot fish had increased its speed to 20+10=<<20+10=30>>30 miles per hour.

Bob, Tom, Sally, and Jerry had dinner at their favorite pizzeria. They decide to share 2 pizzas. Bob ate half of a pizza on his own. Tom ate one-third of a pizza. Sally wasn't very hungry and only ate one-sixth of a pizza, and Jerry ate a quarter of a pizza. If each pizza is cut into 12 slices, how many slices were left over?
|
Each pizza is 12 slices. Bob at 12 slices / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 slices.
Tom ate one third, or 12 slices / 3 = <<12/3=4>>4 slices.
Sally ate one sixth, or 12 slices / 6 = <<12/6=2>>2 slices.
Jerry ate one quarter, or 12 slices / 4 = <<12/4=3>>3 slices.
In total, they ate 6 slices + 4 slices + 2 slices + 3 slices = <<6+4+2+3=15>>15 slices.
So they were left with 12 slices per pizza * 2 pizzas - 15 slices = 24 slices - 15 slices = <<12*2-15=9>>9 slices.

If 50 students came from Know It All High School, then Karen High, which had 3/5 times as many students as Know It All High School, had 3/5*50 = 30 students at the fair.
The total number of students from Know It All and Karen high schools is 50+30 = <<50+30=80>>80 students.
If Novel Corona had twice the combined number of students from Know It All and Karen high schools, then it had 2*80 = <<2*80=160>>160 students at the competition.
The total number of students at the competition is 80+160 = <<80+160=240>>240

Coral is reading a book that is 600 pages long. She reads half of it in the first week, and 30 percent of the remaining pages the second week. How many pages must she read the third week in order to finish the book?
|
Week 1:600/2=300
600-300=<<600-300=300>>300 pages remain
Week 2:300(.30)=90 pages
300-90=<<300-90=210>>210 pages remain
Week 3:210 pages

Mrs. Carlton gives out penalty points whenever her students misbehave. They get 5 points for interrupting, 10 points for insulting their classmates, and 25 points for throwing things. If they get 100 points, they have to go to the office. Jerry already interrupted twice and insulted his classmates 4 times. How many times can he throw things before he gets sent to the office?
|
For interrupting, Jerry got 5 points per interruption * 2 interruptions = <<5*2=10>>10 points
For insulting, he got 10 points per insult * 4 insults = <<10*4=40>>40 points
To get to the 100 limit points, Jerry has 100 points - 10 points - 40 points = <<100-10-40=50>>50 points left
He still has 50 points / 25 points per throw = <<50/25=2>>2 throws

A rectangular plot of private property is fenced in by a chain-link fence. The long sides of the plot are three times the length of the short sides. One short side of the fence is rusted from being hit by a sprinkler and needs to be replaced. If all the sides of the fence together are 640 feet long, how many feet of fence need to be replaced?
|
Let S be the length of the short side of the fence.
Thus, the length of a long side of the fence is 3S.
There are 2 of each side, so the whole fence is 2S + 2 * 3S = 2S + 6S = 8S long.
The whole fence is 8S = 640 feet long.
Thus, the short side of the fence that needs to be replaced is S = 640 / 8 = <<640/8=80>>80 feet long.

A school principal is booking hotel rooms for a class of 30 students to stay at during an overnight field trip. Each of the hotel's rooms has two queen size beds, which can fit two students each, and a pull-out couch, which can fit one student. How many rooms does the principal need to book to fit all of the students in the class?
|
Each room can fit 2*2 + 1 = <<2*2+1=5>>5 students.
Thus, the principal needs to book 30/5 = <<30/5=6>>6 rooms to fit everyone.

Perry wants to buy a new modern bedroom set for $2000. He received $200.00 in gift cards over the holidays that he can use toward the set. The store is currently offering the entire set at 15% off. If he signs up for the store credit card and uses it to buy the set, he will save an additional 10% off on the discounted set. What is the final price of the set?
|
The bedroom set is $2000 and it’s currently 15% off so 2000*.15 = $<<2000*.15=300.00>>300.00 off
So the new price of the set is 2000-300 = $<<2000-300=1700.00>>1,700.00
He signs up for the credit card so that’s 10% off so .10*1700 = $<<10*.01*1700=170.00>>170.00
Now the set is 1700-170 = $<<1700-170=1530.00>>1,530.00
He has a $200.00 gift card which brings the price to 1530-200 = $1,330.00

Josh had 100 gummy bear candies. He decided to give his 3 siblings 10 candies each. Then he gave half of the remaining candies to his best friend. If he only wants to eat 16 gummy bear candies, how many candies are left to be shared with others?
|
Josh gave a total of 3 x 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 candies to his siblings.
He was then left with 100 - 30 = <<100-30=70>>70 candies.
He gave 70/2 = <<70/2=35>>35 candies to his best friend.
So he had 70 - 35 = <<70-35=35>>35 candies left.
Since he only wants to eat 16 candies, there are still 35 - 16 = <<35-16=19>>19 candies left to be shared with others.

At the polar bear club, Jerry and his three friends, Elaine, George, and Kramer, took turns jumping into a swimming pool filled with freezing-cold water. Jerry was in the pool for 3 minutes before becoming too cold to remain in the cold water. Elaine stayed in the pool for twice as long as Jerry. George could only stay in the pool for one-third as long as Elaine. And Kramer, who accidentally locked himself in the bathroom, could not find the pool. What is the combined total of minutes that Jerry and his friends were in the cold water?
|
Elaine was in the pool for 2*3=<<2*3=6>>6 minutes.
George was in the pool for 6/3=<<6/3=2>>2 minutes.
Kramer never found the pool and thus swam for 0 minutes.
In total, Jerry and his friend were in the cold water for 3+6+2+0=<<3+6+2+0=11>>11 minutes.

Two teams are playing in a stadium with a capacity of 2000 people. The total number of people in the stadium is 3/4 of the total capacity and each person paid $20 in entry fees. What is the difference between the total amount of fees collected when the stadium was 3/4 full and if the stadium would have been full?
|
When the stadium is full, the total fees charged is 2000*$20 = $<<2000*20=40000>>40000.
When the stadium is 3/4 full, the total number of people in is 3/4*2000 = <<3/4*2000=1500>>1500 people.
The total entry fees collected when the stadium is 3/4 full is 1500*$20 = $<<1500*20=30000>>30000.
The difference in the total entry fees when the stadium is full and when it's 3/4 full is $40000-$30000 = $<<40000-30000=10000>>10000.

Pat's Pool Supply has three times as many swimming pools as Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store. If Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store has 200 pools, how many pools do they have in total?
|
Since Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store has 200 pools, Pat's Pool Supply has 3*200 = <<3*200=600>>600 swimming pools.
Together, they have 600+200 = <<600+200=800>>800 swimming pools.

At its current growth rate, a certain plant will be 80 feet tall after a year. If the plant grows at the same rate every month and is currently 20 feet tall, what's its monthly growth rate in feet?
|
If the plant is currently 20 feet tall, it will have grown by 80-20=<<80-20=60>>60 feet after a year.
Since a year has 12 months, and the tree grows at the same rate every month, the tree grows at 60/12=<<60/12=5>>5 feet every month.

There are 7 trucks that have 20 boxes. There are 5 trucks that have 12 boxes. Each box holds 8 containers of oil. If all of the oil is evenly redistributed onto 10 trucks, how many containers of oil will each truck have?
|
Boxes of oil = 7 * 20 + 5 * 12 = <<7*20+5*12=200>>200 boxes
Containers of oil = 200 boxes * 8 containers = <<200*8=1600>>1600 containers of oil
1600/10 = <<1600/10=160>>160
Each truck will carry 160 containers of oil.

Chloe bought chocolate-dipped strawberries at $50 a dozen. She then sold them for $30 for half a dozen during the Mother's Day celebration. How much is Chloe's profit if she sold 50 dozens?
|
If Chloe bought it for $50 per dozen, then half a dozen cost her $50/2 = $<<50/2=25>>25.
This means that she has $30 - $25 = $<<30-25=5>>5 profit per half a dozen of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
If Chloe sold 50 dozens, then she was able to sell 50/ 1/2 = 100 half a dozen chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Hence, her profit is $5 x 100 = $<<5*100=500>>500.
